| asl welcome: Silent Determination Peter Cahill, 2025-06-05 At the peak of her young life, she was dealt a terrible hand: a devastating neurological disease. But she played her cards to the fullest, living a life brimming with joy and inspiration. Andrea and Peter Cahill thought it was their darkest moment. Still relative newlyweds, with budding careers and two toddlers, they confronted Andrea's third brain surgery in eighteen months. At age 32, she had lost her hearing completely, but profound deafness was only the initial act in a long-running saga. Her rare neurological disease with a clunky name, neurofibromatosis (aka NF2), would prove to be a formidable foe. But it did not drain the life from this vivacious young woman. Persevering every day for the next thirty-five years, Andrea overcame relentless obstacles to continue her teaching career, start a business, raise her family, and touch the lives of thousands of families, friends, students, and even strangers. Silent Determination is part love story, medical mystery, how-to book for caretakers, and spiritual journey. A story of desperation and inspiration, soaring highs and gut-wrenching lows. Silent Determination will make you laugh, bring tears to your eyes, inspire you to make a difference, and remind you why faith, hope, and charity are considered the three most important virtues. Andrea Cahill inspired everyone she came into contact with at Massachusetts General Hospital, especially me. As her neurologist for over twenty years, I observed up close her strength, perseverance, faith, and gritty desire to make a difference while battling a daunting medical condition. Silent Determination is for anyone looking to understand how people can thrive in the face of chronic illness. Andrea's story is a testament to faith and hope. I highly recommend it! -Dr. Scott Plotkin, neurosurgical oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital; professor of neurology, Harvard Medical School As I read Silent Determination, I marveled at Andrea Cahill's ability to live her life so positively and with such poise, as she struggled over decades with such a debilitating illness. The lives she and her husband Peter led as they refused to let the illness overtake their joy in living is the stuff of fairy tales. Peter's ability to care for Andrea with such gentle ferocity is inspiring. Silent Determination lovingly chronicles their roller-coaster emotional ride, their education about an unusual disease, and the value that love and God played in their life, without forcing those things on the reader. -Laurie Wolfley, English Faculty, University of Connecticut |

| asl welcome: Sign Language Roland Pfau, Markus Steinbach, Bencie Woll, 2012-08-31 Sign language linguists show here that all questions relevant to the linguistic investigation of spoken languages can be asked about sign languages. Conversely, questions that sign language linguists consider - even if spoken language researchers have not asked them yet - should also be asked of spoken languages. The HSK handbook Sign Language aims to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of the state of the art in sign language linguistics. It includes 44 chapters, written by leading researchers in the field, that address issues in language typology, sign language grammar, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, and language documentation and transcription. Crucially, all topics are presented in a way that makes them accessible to linguists who are not familiar with sign language linguistics. |

| asl welcome: You're Welcome, Universe Whitney Gardner, 2018-03-06 A vibrant, edgy, fresh new YA voice for fans of More Happy Than Not and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, packed with interior graffiti. Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award! When Julia finds a slur about her best friend scrawled across the back of the Kingston School for the Deaf, she covers it up with a beautiful (albeit illegal) graffiti mural. Her supposed best friend snitches, the principal expels her, and her two mothers set Julia up with a one-way ticket to a “mainstream” school in the suburbs, where she’s treated like an outcast as the only deaf student. The last thing she has left is her art, and not even Banksy himself could convince her to give that up. Out in the ’burbs, Julia paints anywhere she can, eager to claim some turf of her own. But Julia soon learns that she might not be the only vandal in town. Someone is adding to her tags, making them better, showing off—and showing Julia up in the process. She expected her art might get painted over by cops. But she never imagined getting dragged into a full-blown graffiti war. Told with wit and grit by debut author Whitney Gardner, who also provides gorgeous interior illustrations of Julia’s graffiti tags, You’re Welcome, Universe introduces audiences to a one-of-a-kind protagonist who is unabashedly herself no matter what life throws in her way. [A] spectacular debut...a moving, beautifully written contemporary novel full of quirky art and complicated friendships...this book is a gift to be thankful for.—BookRiot |

A foundational introduction to disability for a wide audience—from those intimately connected with a person with a disability to those interested in the science behind disability—this collection covers all aspects of disability critical to understanding disability in the United States. Topics covered include characteristics of disability; disability concepts, models, and theories; important historical developments and milestones for people with disabilities; prominent individuals, organizations, and agencies; notable policies and services; and intersections of disability policy with other policy. |

Why, then, has so little progress been made, especially when it comes to corporate leadership? Because most companies have yet to develop and implement effective diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives. And the ones that have too often focus mainly on hiring a diversity of staff or rolling out unconscious bias training without improving results. DEIB expert Cynthia Owyoung has spent more than two decades working in this space. She’s seen it all, and she knows what works—and what doesn’t. In All Are Welcome, Owyoung explains what DEIB is and why it matters, and she delivers the information and insights you need to make DEIB a key element of your company culture. You’ll learn how to: •Break old habits that keep DEIB efforts from moving forward •Retain talent from underrepresented groups •Conduct an audit of the state of DEIB at your company today •Engage and excite leaders and managers around DEIB efforts •Weave DEIB into all your talent pool management methods •Uplevel employee resource groups to effectively support business goals •Measure your progress with qualitative and quantitative data •Connect your DEIB efforts to driving better business results DEIB begins but doesn’t end with hiring. When you deeply understand all the nuances of diversity, equity, inclusiveness, and belonging, you’ll be able to put them all together for a better, more productive, and happier workplace. With All Are Welcome, you have everything you need to build a workforce and a company designed to compete in the twenty-first century while doing your part to make the world a better place to live—and work. |
