Do You Have a Voice?

Jane taught Deaf Culture for several years and the students always had many questions about her life and the lives of deaf and hard of hearing people. Most people do not realize deafness is a culture. She felt a calling to write a story about growing up before there were any services for people who were hard of hearing and the American with Disabilities Act which opened doors for people with disabilities. This book was a four-year long venture. Parents of deaf children, people with hearing loss, and Deaf Culture classes can all benefit from reading this nonfiction autobiography covering 50 years with all the changes deaf people face.
