D/HH

Information for Deaf or Hard of Hearing (D/HH) Persons

Dr. Fox's Deaf Introduction

I am hearing and born into a hearing family with an older Deaf sibling. I have been signing since early childhood. My allyship with the Deaf community has expanded, deepened, and changed throughout my life as I have served in many roles. I could carry on about the many things that I have learned in my various intersections in the Deaf community as a sign language teacher and interpreter, program developer, volunteer, mental health counselor, supervisor, friend, and a proud hearing Soda (sibling of a deaf adult).
