| Abstract | I remember asking my mother at different points in my life why I could read better--generally handle English better--than my friends. Mama would always consider the unusual depth and speed of my language and literacy development and respond with a variation of the following: "I refused to accept what the doctors were telling me. I refused to accept that you, my son, could not learn constructively and would not amount to more than a forever dependent individual in society just because you ended up being deaf." This--her refusal to accept the negative opinions of some professionals and her determination to make sure that her son succeeded academically and socially--is perhaps what began my mother's advocacy. While my father's advocacy was less focused on my schooling, I have developed a sense of appreciation for the advocacy of both my parents. This meant that as an independent and self-sufficient adult, I have come to appreciate my parents' stories. (As Provided). |
