Something weird in Denmark - explain?

That is why I stopped focusing on Deaf Education - that’s why I am focusing
on Sign Language Education - and get in as many as non-deaf kids as I can -
to show that there is real support etc - even from the ones who are not
deaf.

Mam once said at a parents meeting years ago when I was small, that parents
with deaf children are sometimes like headless chicken running around -
they'll carry guilt, they'll do anything to "normalize" their deaf child and
listening to doctors etc.

The strength is in the number game :(
