In this collection of individual, often moving, accounts from a diverse selection of deaf people who have been 'mainstreamed' or orally educated, there emerges a common desire that the messages presented will be used to influence the educational system to one that is Sign-bilingual for all deaf children. £8.95 Paperback.

	Handing on our Experience: Deaf participation with deaf young people and families This report summarises a one year feasibility study DEX conducted to find out what deaf young people and parents of deaf children want from Deaf professionals. Some of the findings are that parents and deaf young people want much more information directly from informed deaf users about what it is like for their deaf child throughout childhood and adulthood, and would be willing to pay for training. Deaf young people want to be with deaf peers. £14.95. Paperback. All DEX publications and resources are available from the distributor: Forest Book Services New Building Ellwood Road Coleford Glos.
