Jo @ NW Indiana: Attitudes in Stereotyping Behaviors
http://joannanwideaf.blogspot.com/2007/04/attitudes-in-stereotyping-behaviors.html
Jo @ NW Indiana. Joanna Witulski, Northwest Indiana. Monday, April 09, 2007. Attitudes in Stereotyping Behaviors. Sorry I've not been back in while - so much going on.

http://joannanwideaf.blogspot.com/2007/02/perspective-on-cochlear-implants-and.html
Jo @ NW Indiana. Joanna Witulski, Northwest Indiana. Friday, February 02, 2007. Perspective on Cochlear Implants and ASL. Often we keep hearing how "amazing that cochlear implants (CI) helps me hear", disregarding the reality of what CI fundamentally is. Just a technology tool that has the same function as a hearing aid, only advanced. Basically we're all still deaf. How can worlds be closed to both communities? Ok, that's a deaf perspective. What about the hearing side? Are you up to the task? Posted by...

Jo @ NW Indiana. Joanna Witulski, Northwest Indiana. Friday, December 22, 2006. Respect Des Langues Deux. This is the second part to the "Respecting Languages". I must apologize for the tone in the "Language" post. It was difficult to be able to explain it in a rational avenue. I did explain about my experience regarding speaking and signing; apparently, the message got lost somewhere, own fault. Let me explain more.
