On the Signing Community and My DeafBlind Experience I love being DeafBlind and would not change it for the world." "Disability is everywhere. It is in fact universal for to be human is to be disabled." "It's an exciting time to be DeafBlind." This collection of essays from one of the country's leading voices on issues facing the signing community appears at a time of troubling trends and exciting new developments. Through his lucid and accessible prose author John Lee Clark delves into questions ranging from why hearing parents of Deaf children don't sign to how written American Sign Language will change the course of Deaf literature. As a second generation DeafBlind man Clark also takes us on a tour of his experiences as a student father husband and "client" of special services. Filled with startling observations and unapologetic assertions Where I Stand challenges and broadens readers' understanding of an important but often overlooked community.
