Over de maker

Blackstone, Ma. 01504 u.s.a.
I was born in 1940 to hearing parents. My older sister and younger brother have normal hearing. Raised on a dairy and poultry farm, I helped with the farm chores. I attended regular hearing schools because my father wanted me to be able to function in the hearing world (I was also able to lip read at a very young age). I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and worked in various factories and offices while raising my family (7 children) and going to college. I have a graduate degree (M.A.), I worked for several years as a state psychologist and now have a private psychotherapy practice. "Under the Cloud of Silence" is my story.
