He writes in part:

Bob Brody's Dad

Ultimately, then, my father learned to make do with his hearing loss. He never told me what those years away from his parents and two sisters felt like. He left me to imagine how lonely he must have felt, how homesick and abandoned, almost orphaned. Indeed, he never spoke a word against his parents about having been a five-year-old boy sent 800 miles away for 10 years. He felt nothing but gratitude for getting the opportunity to better himself.

Lynn McElfresh Lynn McElfresh has written a new book for young readers called Strong Deaf. The unique aspect of this book is that it is partly written from the perspective of a deaf girl. Her American Sign Language is translated into English exactly as she expresses herself. In the book, her sister is the only hearing person in her family. McElfresh wrote Strong Deaf out of her own experiences. She grew up with a deaf sister herself. You can listen to an interview she did with a public radio station here (no transcription) or read more about the book on her web site here.]]> http://deafnewstoday.blogspot.com/feeds/1043102127684751378/comments/default 0 Accused Sexual Abuser in Court http://deafnewstoday.blogspot.com/2013/06/accused-sexual-abuser-in-court.html http://deafnewstoday.blogspot.com/2013/06/accused-sexual-abuser-in-court.html#comments Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:06:00 +0000 Deaf News Today http://aaainterpretingservice.com/?guid=e84739838e6b892d3f38dbc980c53bf1 Deaf is due in court this morning. The hearing for Clarence Taylor is about charges he inappropriately touched girls when they were students. Several girls came forward at the end of last year. They are now ages 15 and 16 but the alleged assaults took place between 2008 and 2010, when the girls were between the ages of 10 and 13. In January, four more girls said they had been sexually abused by Taylor, who now faces seven counts of sexual abuse of a minor. He worked the evening shift at the Columbia school.
