"Hearing disability" OUCH. We prefer to be known as Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing as our Deaf culture does not view Deaf as a disability. =D

That's great, Keri. I'm glad you're able to share that with so many people. I took an interest in sign language as a child, although I had no one in my life with a hearing disability. I taught myself the alphabet and some of the signs and it came in handy when I worked with the public. It's beautiful, I love watching the scene from "Mr. Holland's Opus," where he finally communicates with his son through signing "Beautiful Boy," brings tears to my eyes every time.

True on the low pay, I don't think teaching anything is done simply for the money (unless you're a tenured full professor at a large university). It's like anything else that's associated with the writing business, weighing the benefits vs. the pay. My workshops were always on Saturdays during a time I would be sleeping in and I enjoyed it so much, it was worth the pay.

My greatest passion is teaching my native language: American Sign Language at the local university. It's wonderful to see my students graduate and see how ASL is incorporated in their lives: one student became the swim coach at Gallaudet University, one student traveled to Spain and worked at a Deaf school there (which meant he had to learn Spanish Sign Language as well!), one student fell in love with a Deaf man she met at one of the Cultural Events required for class and one student is a teacher who happens to have a couple of students who have Deaf parents. =D

I taught a community ed writing class for a while too and found it to be a really good experience. I had to stop doing it because I just couldn't justify the time for the very low pay.
