| Jeff Majors was born in Houston TX and contracted
measles at the age of six months. His illness was believed to
be the cause of his profound deafness. After his parents’
discovery of his deafness, they put him in an oral school for
the deaf in Houston.
Eight years later, Jeff’s parents were disheartened
by Jeff’s lack of language. They heard about cued speech
so their family flew to Gallaudet University to learn cued
speech. They later fought for the use of Cued Speech in deaf
education in their district which they succeeded. Jeff’s
language has exploded and got mainstreamed into regular classes
four years later.
Jeff graduated from McCullough High School and moved to Los
Angeles. He attended CSUN to major in psychology however he
developed intense interest in computers and self-taught on
using computer programming languages. He has developed several
high-traffic websites for several companies.
In 2005, Jeff moved to Austin, TX and is attending Austin
Community College to pursue a degree in computer science.
He remains a strong advocate for cued speech/language approach
for the deaf.
