People of the eye... Community of vision

Presented by Ella Mae Lentz

This presenation emphasized the need to move away from the deficit model of "deafness" and "hearing loss" and towards the Deafhood model that celebrates our gifts and contributions to creat our vision.  This vision includes an ideal view of "deaf", the use of American Sign Language for academic ecellence, dealing with Deaf-related concerns, divisions and diversity, and consideration for future generations.
