I really enjoyed recording this episode. Melissa Bridges gives listeners her insight into her world of growing up as a CODA. For those who don’t know what CODA stands for a child of a deaf adult. In this episode, we chat about Melissa’s experience growing up as a child of a deaf adult which is not as uncommon as you think. We discuss Deaf Culture, misconceptions, and how to interact with individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.  Melissa Bridges is a certified ASL Interpreter. Melissa is currently pursuing her degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. She has previously worked as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for the State of Texas where she primarily works with hard of hearing and clients who are deaf.
