About the Authors
About the Authors
While not a native at sign language, Van James T believes he learned to sign in the single-most fun way: dating. (If you don’t have that option yet, this book hopes to give you the tools to put yourself out there and give it a try.) Van spent his early childhood living in Olympia, Washington; Isabel, Kansas; and Lawrence, Kansas. His family moved to the suburbs of Chicago when he was 9, and he’s been in the area ever since. He resides in Naperville, Illinois, with his girlfriend, the inspiration for this book, who is deaf and responsible for his interest in the language.
Allison O
grew up in a hearing family, but she and her half-identical twin were born deaf. Right after she was diagnosed at age two, she received hearing aids and began speech therapy. Because she knows how to read lips, she can communicate effectively using her voice, lip-reading, and signing. She has a bachelor’s degree in social work and a master’s degree in social work with a concentration in child welfare.
