Gryson, Gabriel

Although Gabriel Grayson can hear, he is uniquely qualified to have authored this book. Born to parents who were both completly deaf, Grayson's first means of trained communication was sign language. The inspirational story of his childhood was the basis for a moving 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.
