Okay, welcome.

This is our last workshop of the day. The only other thing we have planned after it is an introductory sign language lesson in this tent. That will begin a little before 5 o'clock. Our workshop this time is entitled "Deafness in the Family" and our participants are going to share with you some of their own experiences as deaf members of families, families that sometimes include hearing people and sometimes
[00:01:24]
rather remarkably, have very few hearing people in them. And I'm going to begin workshop by asking our participants to introduce themselves to you by telling you their name and whose deaf and whose hearing in their families
[00:01:41]
So you get the beginnings of the picture. Now we go onto talk and tell some stories. Ok. Lily You begin
