Community Inclusion Success Stories
Garry moved to the United States from Haiti, facing the many challenges that come with being deaf in a new country and not knowing American Sign Language (ASL). Even though there’s a small presence of ASL in Haiti, most of its deaf population uses Haitian Sign Language (LSH), which shares very few overlaps with ASL. Despite being presented with these challenges, Gary met his case worker at CIL in 2007 with ambitious goals and immediately began working towards them.
Xiong had been Deaf since birth. She moved to the United States from China in 2011 and got married. Sadly, soon after her husband passed away. She now needed to become a naturalized citizen. Xiong contacted CIL for help. She did not know English well, did not have transportation to get to CIL, and did not have a computer to help her get through the citizenship process. CIL’s Deaf Voice team stepped into action, printed instructions in Chinese for Xiong and mailed them to her home so she could get started.
