Hi Folks!
I am sending along this information about our new free, monthly, drop-in support group for hearing-impaired people. Myself and the co-facilitator are both hearing-impaired and want to create a supportive environment for people to discuss issues that affect us. Because this group is geared primarily to hearing-impaired people who use speech rather than sign language, there currently is no ASL interpreter available at the meetings. Please call me or email me at anarchofeminist@yahoo.com for any further information, or just drop in.

Monthly Discussion/Support Group for
HEARING-IMPAIRED and LATE-DEAFENED ADULTS

*Does it seem like your loved ones dont always understand?
