Ears, Eyes, and Hands presents the author's reflections on
language, literacy, and linguistics that have been shaped by her
deafness and by her work as an educator. In short, engaging
narratives, Deborah L. Wolter exposes deeply entrenched attitudes
and stereotypes regarding language, bringing to bear her own
experiences as a deaf person as well as her interactions with
children from varying backgrounds. Wolter reveals and rectifies the
impact of deficit mindsets in the educational system regarding
race, ethnicity, economic status, gender, and disability. As a
literacy specialist, she works with students who fall through the
cracks in a system that strives to embrace the diverse backgrounds
and abilities found in the classroom. Her passion for engaging
students and cultivating literacy shines in the stories she tells,
which serve as parables that allow readers to evaluate their own
attitudes and assumptions. Educators, parents, and community
members will benefit from Wolter's examination of sociolinguistics
and language privilege as she identifies how ethnocentrism and
ableism are contributing to negative educational outcomes for some
students. With humor and warmth, she offers a path toward
approaching language and listening as a gateway to connection and
understanding, both inside the classroom and beyond.
