Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As a hearing person, reading this book was an eye opener into the issues of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing Community even if I never have to arrange for a Literary Event accessible to the Deaf and hard-of-hearing. It provides special insights into the differences in communication method between the hearing and deaf community and can be a bridge to more understanding by all of us in the hearing community. The book will make the hearing community more aware of and supportive of efforts by organizations and institutions in making all types of meetings, conferences, and events available to the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. For those who are involved in making events available to the Deaf and hard-of-hearing, the book is a quick study with a clear step-by-step approach and handy check lists to help the person do the appropriate planning and preparation for the event. I believe that his book would also be a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about communication with the Deaf and hard-of-hearing or anyone giving classes or training to the hearing community on communication with the Deaf and hard-of-hearing.
