Also, I attended to the workshop at the same conference weekend.  I had learned about history of deaf and 1800s.  I will add that to my previous post for next book with diversity issue.

One person hits me a lot, she is CODA (child of deaf adult) herself.  She was born in deaf world and use sign language all her life.   She has no clues about hearing world till she entered adulthood.   She was home-schooled and social with deaf people.  She thinks she is deaf magnets and can hear, use the voice with other coda.   She was so proud to show up as deaf but sign language interpreter as professional.

There is no TV with closed captioned, no TTY/TDD, phoneline, or no radio.  Nothing at home.  I can not imagine how I live without those?  I raised by hearing parent and I been learned a lot in hearing world, never know about deaf world till I got older.   I mean, I been play with deaf kids when I was young but I did not realized till got older when met more deaf people.   I still learning and always have fun!

Those deaf has different background and very interesting to hear about them, like I said in other post about diversity part.

Time for me stop write,
