VIDEO [CC] - Deaf people are cheated by oralism in American Sign Language.
Support bi-lingual education for Deaf children. Stop Indiana HB 1367.
Please share this video clip from the 1994 PBS documentary 'For A Deaf Son'.
This documentary is no longer available to view or purchase anywhere. I wish it would become available to view publicly. So many good things in this film. Jack Gannon's words are inspiring, touching and timeless.

The first group to attend Deaf Space Camp had 21 Deaf and HoH students from around the United States.
In the fall of 1997, Amy Newland, who taught at the Western PA School for the Deaf in Pittsburgh PA, independently took over the coordination of the program as the director. The director of this program has been on a volunteer basis since it's conception.
