For anyone who has regretted the word "soup."

If you, too, are an Inbetweener, between deaf and hearing worlds, you can participate in my second book, which is an anthology on that topic. PM me your email address for more info. Meanwhile, watch out for that soup! www.huffpost.com/entry/coda-d...
I'm Deaf And I Have 'Perfect' Speech. Here's Why It's Actually A Nightmare.
Pointing at the menu, I accidentally let the word "soup" slip out to the server and our delightful meal goes straight downhill.

Language deprivation (including adequate early access to sign language and good communication) are huge problems facing deaf children - affecting educational outcomes, social & emotional development, subsequent employment & finances and quality of life. Hugely important in a deaf child’s early life.

Eeeks, that flyer I was so proud of making? Had the wrong date on it. Well, a date isn't important at all, is it?
HERE is the RIGHT date.

If you shared it, please re-share with this correction. Thank you!!! It's also good for ASL or Deaf education students to attend, so pls spread the word.

Ridiculously proud of myself for making this simple flyer, lol. Hope to see you there! I will read funny, poignant and startling excerpts from the book. We will have plenty of time for discussion about the book and the process of getting a book done and out there in the world.

American Sign Language for all students? edsource.org?page_id=695295 just sharing this article in case anyone’s interested. Got a great letter from a HS student who’s writing to congresspeople to ask for ASL instruction in all schools and linking this article. Go, you terrific teenager!
COMMENTARY: American Sign Language for all students? Hear me out
For the benefit of the Deaf community as well as the hearing, schools should teach ASL to all students.

The Mother's Day Mystery - The Butterfly Cage
I taught a Deaf class in an otherwise hearing school. As Mother's Day approached, my colleagues were teaching their first graders to spell "appreciate," "grateful" and "breakfast in bed." My class too...

“The wild thing is…” absolutely accurate ! In ten years of teaching I only saw ONE child ONE time use an analogy when writing. It was very mild but to me, HUGE! Sarcasm, inferences, even simple time concepts were out of reach to most www.instagram.com/reel/DJXp0bs...

Kamala Harris has rarely spoken out after leaving Washington in January. In her first major address since then, she acknowledged Democratic fears and warned of a constitutional crisis. Read more: nyti.ms/4cUxR7v

Another time, my other daughter, whose parents are both deaf/HOH, started saying strange things like “mom come into this boom to be with me”. After a while, I figured out that she was changing the words because she understood that we did not hear them correctly.

Yay, my book is here on Sara Novic's Deaf shelf!
From the outside a writers life might look like its easy peasy, accolades rolling in awards being won, interviews being done, book clubs being held and so on. Success success success!
