Hi, I hope you don't mind me sending you this as I'm trying to spread
this email as far out as so I can reach as many member of the Deaf
community as possible.
I'm disabled and work for the BBC. They are thinking of making a
programme about a Deaf signing family and I'm doing some early research
to find people who might be willing to talk to me.
Here is some blurb on what I'm looking for.
Thanks and best wishes,
Kirsteen.

Following on from the huge success of My Family and Autism the BBC are
making 5 documentaries about family life in different circumstances and
we hope that one of the films will be about a Deaf signing family.
Many hearing people are unaware that there is such a thing as Deaf
culture or the Deaf community. This hour long programme would give an
opportunity for people to tell their family story from a Deaf
perspective and would focus on family life and the issues that are
important to Deaf families.
We are interested in contacting families who may be able to help us with
our initial research and would be particularly keen to contact people
who have experience in the following areas:
Being in a family where there has been deafness for generations.
Families where the grandparents can remember what it was like to be
punished for signing at boarding school. Deaf parents who have both deaf
and hearing children. Deaf parents who are in the process of choosing
what school to send their children to.
