Communication barrier
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"Getting out to the outside world, there were some barriers there. Mostly the barriers were connected to communication. People didn't know how to sign and having that instant connection, that wasn't always right there.
"We moved to an area called Milton There was a deaf school there that used American Sign Language. My parents thought it would be a good idea to socialize and have friends who were deaf themselves."
