As she describes in her memoir, Teach Me to Love Myself, she was probably the first professionally trained deaf counselor-therapist in the United States. In her initial position as intern and then staff member at the University of California Center on Deafness, she became an advocate of total communication-a combination of sign language, lip-reading and oral competency that was a new horizon for rehabilitation therapy for the deaf. She was one of the first individuals with inner-ear nerve degeneration to receive a prototype cochlear implant and, several years later, one of the first to have an implant upgraded. Finally, in a more general sense of pathbreaking, she made a courageous career shift at mid-life. After twenty-five years of marriage and child-rearing, she accepted her deafness and embarked on a retraining that eventually led to a distinguished professional career.Holly Elliott was an unusual role model for women of her time, and still speaks to our twenty-first-century experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Holly Elliott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193505208X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935052081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White River Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Holly Elliott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991210524927,"sku":"9781935052081","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e95ae3de-18de-4687-be6a-252f5177a591.jpg?v=1683309075","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teach-me-to-love-myself-holly-elliott-9781935052081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
