Using interpretative and reflective analysis, the author explores the storied experience of self and belonging in family and school contexts, providing both personal and theoretical perspectives on language and culture. He traces the pathways he has taken in pursuit of a true sense of belonging in society, community and place.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is an important contribution to the study of sign language, deaf education, disability and deaf health and well-being.
