About the article

An overview of some of the activities at the annual deaf youth workshop at Brigham Young University and the benefits it offers to the youth who attend.

Quotations

The youths watched with folded hands but unbowed heads as one of their members gave the opening prayer. They had to, or they’d miss what he was saying.

Those who work with the deaf realize that a deaf youth, usually alone in a speaking world, is often treated as a stranger in a strange land.

Teachers with a deaf youth in a Sunday School class should remember to use a lot of visual material, role playing, and other good teaching techniques.
