Jane Fernandes’s appointment as President Gallaudet University, leaving the auditorium with plans of protest. For the second time in Gallaudet’s history, students march their way to the front gates, refusing to leave. Students rallied, inducing the resignation of Celia May Baldwin. These events were 11 years ago, showing that Deaf people still feel oppressed. What happened at Gallaudet rippled across the globe, causing an uprising in Mississippi School for the Deaf. Though there are many improvements in America, we all still have a very long way to go for advocacy of both deaf and disabled

All throughout the entire "Deaf President Now" movement, the message was clear that deaf people have the self-determination and capability as any other hearing person. To watch hundreds of deaf students and supports protest from Gallaudet University to our nation's capital, using American Sign Language as their only medium of communication. Only shows the effect of the "power and intelligence" (Van Cleve p. 173) behind sign language. "With similar unity in the future, they may move into a

His senior year of high school he applies to only two major colleges; Purdue University and Rochester Institute of Technology, he was accepted into both. He and his grandfather had dreams of him going to Purdue and playing on their wrestling team; he didn’t think he’d get in. RIT was out of the question but with his mother’s encouragement he applied as well. While at his first year at Purdue, he struggled. He only knew how to read lips, and the large fast pace classrooms were too much to handle. Although he had an interpreter in all his classes, it was useless. He barely knew any sign language and his grades were affected by his inability to comprehend what the professors where saying. Eventually he was kicked off the wrestling team due to his grades. This scene in the movie made me realize that Deaf people could not only read lips, but they should all learn how to sign as well. Sign Language is a universal method of communication between Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing people.

Together, Clerc and Gallaudet founded the first deaf school in the United States, what is now known as the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. The school opened on April 15, 1817 with Gallaudet serving as the principal and Clerc as the head teacher. Aside from teaching the students, Clerc was responsible to training the future teachers and administrators of the School. He was sent to other schools throughout the United States to continue to teach his methods to both students and prospective teachers, and his influence on teaching the deaf spread widely throughout the United States.

“You have to be deaf to understand the deaf”’ is a deaf poem by Willard Madsen, and he was written at 1971’s. He was a professor of journalism and former Associate Professor of Sign Language at Gallaudet University. He was born from Peabody, Kansas in 1930s. He lost his hearing to scarlet fever when he was two age. He attended public junior high school before he transferring to Kansas school for the Deaf at Olathe. He went on to study at Gallaudet. He graduating in 1952s with a degree in the education. He do taught at the Louisiana school for the Deaf for five years after, he received a master’s degree from Louisiana State University. After he joined to Gallaudet faculty in 1957s, and he taught at gallaudet for 39 years when he have retirement at 1996s. His career was spent to teaching journalism and english to preparatory students. He was a founding member of American Sign language Teachers Association, which provided certification for sign teachers across the country. He wrote two text book for sign language but, he was well known as a poets in both American Sign Language and English. Classics of Deaf cultures are “You have to be deaf to Understand” and “NO!”.

He realized that his younger siblings would not play with her because she was “different”. Gallaudet wanted to communicate with her. He wrote the word “hat” in the dirt, in hopes she would understand, and she did. He was determined to find a better way to communicate with her because writing in the dirt was not most efficient. He met with Alice’s father, Dr. Mason Cogswell, who offered to pay Gallaudet’s travel expenses to Europe in hope that he could learn a way to communicate with Alice while he was there. While in Europe, he first lived with the Braidwood family, who owned several deaf schools. Their style of teaching was known as the oral way. The oral way of teaching is to teach the deaf students to speak and read lips, but Gallaudet did not like that style. He then met Abbe Sicard, who was the director of The Institute Royal Des Sourds-Mutes in Paris, France. He signed up to attend this school and found he loved their way of teaching, which was the way of sign language. Unfortunately, after a year, he realized he did not have enough money to attend any longer. He asked one of the students, Laurent Clerc, to join him on the journey back to the United States, and Clerc agreed. Over time, Clerc taught Gallaudet, further, how to sign, and Gallaudet taught Clerc, further, how to speak English. In April of 1817, the first school for the deaf was opened by Gallaudet and

Shepard is the President of the District of Columbia Area Black Deaf Advocates, Inc. (DCABDA). As a member of this organization I have witnessed her ability to organize her time wisely, set goals for the organization, work diligently to help us to achieve these goals, seek more community outreach endeavors for the organization and perform her duties as President with excellence. Due to her many attributes, I am confident that Mrs. Washington will perform with distinction if accepted into the the Master’s in Sign Language Education Program (hybrid) at Gallaudet University. Therefore, I strongly recommend her for this

Benjamin James Bahan who was born by Deaf parents in New Jersey was very passionate about American Sign Language and Deaf Literature. As a child he attended Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf in West Trenton, New Jersey as well as Gallaudet University where he is now a professor and chair of American Sign Language and Deaf Studies. Upon returning to Gallaudet University as a professor and chairs person in 1996 he went to The Salk Institute in La Jolla where he researched American Sign Language linguistics and acquisitions as well as receiving his masters degree in Deaf Education and helped operate the Deaf Studies Program in the School of Education at Boston University. Lucky for Ben, while attending Boston University he met his wonderful wife who was not only Deaf but had Deaf parents just like him.

As someone who is currently dual enrolled at both Westover High School and Darton State College, I am able to offer a look at the type of people that attend these schools from both viewpoints. In my opinion, both schools have basically the same type of people attending them. In actuality, they even have the same exact people because of the amount of students that are dual enrolled at both schools. This, of course, is not a negative thing at all. It’s always the brightest students from Westover that end up dual enrolling at Darton. Also, many scholars that graduate from Westover end up attending Darton for the first year or so of college in order to wet their feet, so to say. In this way, I sort of consider Darton a transition college. While it has every academic qualification that a college would need, it just doesn’t have the social qualifications to be a college. I believe that makes it easier to compare to Westover.

State and local governments, which include a long list of agencies and services, need to provide qualified interpreters when requested by the deaf, along with assistive listening devices when applicable. Deaf persons should be able to participate in these services. While the consumer is

Deaf education in the United States has a long history going back a couple centuries. One event that happened in about 1880 turned many people against sign language in education. Milan 1880 was like no other event. In the history of deaf education Milan 1880 had a major impact on the lives and education of deaf people. This event alone almost destroyed sign language.

To start off, I asked Kenneth how he became an interpreter. He said that he had met with the owner of ASL Services INC. because they were aware that he was a CODA. He was tested, similar to how people are tested for certification, with interpreting a text, watching a video, etc. He was hired and that’s where he started his interpreting career. To follow up, I inquired why he wanted to become an interpreter. He replied: money, because interpreting pays good. After three years of working in the field, he saw that it wasn’t all about the money. It was more about the people, about the Deaf community. Interpreting was about relaying a message; about becoming a better interpreter.

shortage of qualified teachers of the deaf” (Stofinsky 15-16). These factors all lead to ASL to grow and be accepted as a language here in this beautiful

By this point in history, Deaf communication was maturing rapidly however there still were not any registered or professional interpreters for Deaf people in the everyday world. Among the first actual interpreters were children of Deaf parents with some knowledge of both Sign Language and English who were willing to step in and aid in communications when needed. It was not until 1964 that the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) was established and set in place standards and training for people who wanted to strengthen the connections and understanding between deaf and hearing individuals. The RID strives to, “advocate for best practices in interpreting... and [in] interpreting services for [the] diverse users of languages that are signed or spoken” and also strive for a future where the linguistic rights of Deaf people are regarded equally as those who use spoken
