Signing Places provides home for people with like problems

March 9, 2010

HUGHESVILLE — The ranch home along a country road looks like many other family residences to be found just about anywhere in America. And the people living here will be the first to say they are part of a family. What links this trio of family members is not bloodlines, but a common problem. Debra Schoch, Jason Jones and Gregory Artley are all not only deaf but mentally challenged people sharing the group home along Elm Drive in Wolf Township. The three who are part of this unique living arrangement at Signing Places share not only common disabilities but a need for independence. “I got three jobs,” said Greg Artley, talking through a sign language interpreter. “I do good work, too.” Artley, 43, works as a janitor at three sites.

He works part-time job at Giant, participates in Special Olympics and rides horse.
