Autumn invites us to slow down, reflect, and reconnect, and that’s exactly what the October edition of The Community Quill is all about. This month, we’re celebrating the transformation that happens when passion meets purpose in Deaf Education. From stories of innovation to classroom-ready strategies, each page reminds us that progress, though sometimes quiet, always leaves a powerful impact.
Inside this edition, you’ll find:
📰 Breaking News – Mid-year nationwide funding cuts affecting DeafBlind programs and the impact on families, teachers, and students.
💡 Spotlight on Strategies – activities encouraging role-play that strengthen social language, empathy, and Theory of Mind in DHH learners.
🧩 Teacher Tips – promote self-advocacy and independence in your students.
📚 In the Field – historical contributions to Deaf Education and the enduring legacy of educators like Leonora Quill.
🍂 Harvest Picks – creative classroom-ready fall and Halloween resources for language development, family engagement, and creative learning.
This season, we’re reminded that change doesn’t always roar, sometimes it whispers through the steady work of teachers, interpreters, and advocates who keep language and belonging at the center of what they do.
