Deaf cleaning crew overcomes language barrier

A storm of orange work shirts rolls through the hallway at Alliance Data, dotted with bright blue gloves amid wheeling gray trash cans and fresh cleaning supplies. This janitorial storm is led by John Parker, the night shift supervisor for IGI Advanced Cleaning Services. Parker leads his team to the cafeteria, where he signals for the commencement of a sanitation siege that will leave every surface sparkling. Anyone walking by would have no idea that four of the five members of Parker’s crew are deaf or hearing impaired, including their fearless leader himself./ Devin Heilman , CDA Press. More here .
