WORDS IN MY HANDS: A Teacher, a Deaf-Blind Man, an Unforgettable Journey
-
Description
-
After his wife died when he was 86, Bert Reidel, a man with Usher Syndrome, moved to Colorado to live with his son and daughter-in-law. Although Bert was an expert Braille reader, he had never learned sign language and his wife had been his “eyes
and ears” to the world. This book tells the story of Bert’s life and how he learned sign language beginning at age 86. It illustrates that it is never too late to learn as it describes how sign language transformed not only Bert’s life, but the lives of his
family, friends, and the interpreter who was his sign language teacher. Cost $15.95.
