“Diane Chambers has a robust and compassionate story. Her teaching of signs to a deaf-blind elderly man tells us that we can and should teach, learn, rise, rejoice, and gain wisdom until we die.
“Not only did I learn a lot about deaf-blindness, but also about the day-to-day activities of interpreters/teachers. The high level of professional competency and judgment, the extensive commitment of time necessary for the teaching process, and the need to engage the family and associates of students in the rehabilitation process come through.”
