The Juxtaposition of Sign Language Policy
In a world that increasingly recognizes the place of sign languages, we also are seeing increased isolation when it comes to deaf children. This presentation by an experienced attorney and educator, herself a native and third-generation Deaf person, will provide both a quantitative and qualitative perspective on the current status of sign language in the world.
Friday, April 15, 2022
