Maria says, I am from Florida. There is something to tell that my Deaf brother will be going to Milwakee, WI. He decided to come when he saw a picture of me at ASL EXPO. He supports DBC.

I'll be in East Africa. Be sure to tape every presenter for future use and resource. It is a must!
Thank you.

Amy said...

Awesome!

What are the speakers' topics?

Will you share that with us too?

Congrats!

Everybody,

Thank you for your kind words. We are very pleased that the speakers have agreed to help support the cause of ALL babies signing, by donating their time and expertise to DBC.

Amy- yes we will publish everything (their presentation topics, schedule, etc. etc.) as soon as they are finalized. It's a month to go before Milwaukee, and we are madly chasing after every little detail. :)

Yes, we have every intention to film the presenters and the entire conference & rally. Yes, this is HISTORY in making.

Wonderful! Wish I could be there to help rattle the cages of AGBell.


Terminology is important. "Presenters" is a better word to use than "speakers," I think.

Your motto, "sign from the start, success for a lifetime," way smart!

DBC conference speakers: awesome! a touch of of the East and the West! keep in touch with more juicy details....may i suggest some hands on presentations for fun for the crowd?

If I am not able to show up---please vlog these successes. Track em down as herstory not just history! Lol-- we ladies are stakeholders, shakers and movers in this life for change!

Big big thanks for keeping ASL on the map as fingers/palms/faces doing the all talking with an eye full here and there! May the parents celebrate their child's multi-linguistic and multiple language mastery in future days of young Deaf and hard of hearing Americans!

From Boston with fond regards and sincere appreciation of your work and role models in the art and science of what makes a language work!

Me who? Suzy

PS Genie: best of luck with the new move....Ohlone College--and keep vlogging!

billcreswell,

Yes, this conference will be interpreted! We are working hard at finding interpreters at this moment. DBC believes it is important that hearing parents of Deaf children have access to ALL information! One of the reasons why this conference is FREEEEE (no registration costs!) is to attract as many hearing parents of Deaf children as possible.

Please provide captions for us hearing parents of deaf babies. If you want to reach us, you have to make accommodations!

Thank you for your feedback. We try our best to make it accessible as much as possible but please note that we tend to post transcripts for the most of the time. Subtitling is a very time consuming task and it is a challenge to expect volunteers to find the time to do it. If anyone is willing to be volunteers, please contact info@dbcusa.org. Thanks!
