Grayson, Gabriel

Born to parents who were both completely deaf, Grayson s first means of trained communication was sign language. The story of his childhood was the basis for an ABC made-for-television movie. Professor Grayson is the chairperson of the Department of Sign Language at New School University in New York City.

In addition, he is a principal court-appointed sign language interpreter for the NYC judicial system, and conducts sign language tours at the American Museum of Natural History.
