Testimonials

I will remember Mrs. Michelle’s laid-back yet informative and authoritative approach, and her desire to connect a variety of people to those who are D/deaf and Hard of Hearing...I would definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in knowledge of deafness/Deaf culture.
— Rebecca McDonough, Pittsburgh, PA
“What I will remember most about Michelle’s teaching, is her passion to eliminate “stigma” surrounding Hard of Hearing(HOH) and Deafness, I would recommend this class to others, and I wouldn’t change anything. My favorite sign is, ‘I love you.’”
— Mrs. Janice Engleman, Pgh, PA
I have taught my 5-year old grandson what I know, and you deserve all the credit. I will remember your personality, and love of what you do.
— Debbie Giallanardo, Pittsburgh, PA
I’ve already told my friends about the class and how much fun it is. I will remember how smart, funny, welcoming, and easy-going you are. I never wanted to miss a class!
