More Deaf in the News

Some of you may recall last month when I posted about the Broadway protests regarding "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter."

Well now there is more upset. Producers have cast Abigail Breslin (star of Little Miss Sunshine) as Helen Keller in the latest remake of "The Miracle Worker."


Sometimes, I wonder when things will change. I remember this argument 15 years ago. In 1993, Columbia Pictures cast a hearing man with 2 weeks worth of asl classes as a deaf person in the flop, Calendar Girl.

Fun Link!

Many students ask me about ways to increase their ability to concentrate, or to focus their attention.

I learned about this website from a Reading Teacher at Tulsa Community College, Linda Mays.

Let me know if you think it helps...and frustration is not unusual smile.

enjoy!
