Look for examples of the following themes while viewing the video:

• Disabled/nondisabled binary;
• Being deaf versus Deaf – When Deaf is written with a “D” to describe a person  it signifies the person identifies as being part of the  Deaf culture and Deafness is a prideful part of who they are. When  “deaf”   with a  lowercase   “d”  is used  it signifies the person has a hearing impairment. It does not signify the person’s association with  Deaf culture.
• Fitting into neither Deaf culture nor hearing culture
• Pressure to assimilate to normality
• The liminality of disability
