By: Deaf Counseling Center Category: Children, Psychology

Deer, cows, and ducks may occasionally have their own signs, but do Deaf children need them? Deaf children are not wild animals. They can be taught how to play outside and …

You Are Being Watched

By: Deaf Counseling Center Category: Psychology, Research
