My experience at the deaf event was amazing and unforgettable I enjoyed the adventure we went on going around Safety Harbor’s little down town from the little shops to the beautiful view of the ocean, signing out common objects and their actions. This event showed me just how hard it can be to not understand someone when communicating though it was easy for me to catch on I still struggled during the charade portion and found it difficult to understand what we were to demonstrate it gave me a glimpse at what deaf people go through daily though I will never fully have an understanding with being able to hear. Nonetheless the activities were truly enjoyable they made you more creative when describing things to explain it to someone who is deaf

So you mentioned the Chesapeake Shores Convention. I noticed the buzz about it, but I hadn 't heard a whole lot about it. I know it 's still in the planning stages at this point. If it does work out, however, when

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

I am currently enrolled Gallaudet University in Washington D.C to pursue a double major (B.A.) in Biology and Education. I have been passionate to become a science teacher for the Deaf after I obtain two degrees from Gallaudet University; additionally, I want to acquire Master Degree in Education to meet the requirement to become a teacher for the Deaf. As a science teacher, I strongly believe that I will be able to share my knowledge and experience with other, especially the students, to grow their interest to pursue a career in science field. Once they are interested in pursuing a career in science field, it will expand and increase the students’ critical thinking in a particular way and they could utilize scientific technologies in medication

Closed captioning not only includes deaf and hard of hearing viewers as full participants in the information age but its practical value and its audience extends far beyond its historical origins. The deaf community celebrated these crucial demonstration and on the strength of

During my interview with Cara Wilson, we discussed different topics of what it was like to raise her deaf son, Cole. I have known both Cara and Cole for a very long time, Cole attends St. Rita School for the Deaf which is where my mother works, and Cara is very involved in the school. We discussed a variety of different topics and it was very interesting and very eye-opening for the most part.

After we finished this movie, I also keep asking myself that is the deaf culture truly worth to preserve in the modern society. And I just realized that most of the deaf person never want to get a chance to improve their hearing ability. Some of them felt like they are having extremely no difference at all. They went to the deaf school and had the sign language to communicate. They never feel ashamed to be a deaf, instead, they are strong and powerful to live as a deaf. Deaf culture is sometimes considered as a faith for most the deaf people. Because they born who they are and they do not want to change.

The story of education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children in America dates back to 1817, when the first school for the Deaf was established in Connecticut. It was called the American Asylum for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, known today as the American School for the Deaf, and it taught its pupils academic material as well as occupational training. In the period of time that followed, known as the “Golden Age” for American Deaf people, sign language was widely used, and all subjects, including written English, were taught through sign and often by Deaf teachers. Unfortunately, this period of time was short-lived, and by the end of the 1800s, spoken language was seen by the mainstream education community as superior and it was implemented into the curriculum after an infamous conference known as the International Congress of Milan of 1880. At this meeting, it was confirmed that spoken language would dominate Deaf education, and the use of sign language would be outlawed; this decision would change the learning experience of Deaf children forever. The conference was unfairly filled with “Pure-Oralists,” with only one Deaf voter out of 164 participants, deciding the fate of children for years to come. After “hearing educators decided what was best for deaf people,” the education system shifted completely (Leigh 17). Deaf teachers were nowhere to be found,

Exciting news!!! Moving forward, we will be posting monthly event calendars in the main office break room, as well as on the Human Resources Site. Please check whichever calendar is convenient for you.

This was an extremely informative exploration. I have never worked with any student who was deaf/blind so this was an eye-opener for me. The Pennsylvania Deaf-Blind Project is filled with valuable information and resources for those that work with or live with people who are deaf-blind. Deaf-blindness affects a smaller number of people so it can be difficult to find others who understand the situation and offer unbiased advice and assistance. Many of the resources I investigated had a primary purpose of giving support to those who are deaf-blind and their families. The most important aspect of this project is that it offers hope, guidance, networking, education, and useful information for those within the deaf-blind community. The resources I chose to summarize are below;

While mass misinformation, obliviousness, and miscommunication are three of the major struggles for the Deaf community, there are multiple problems that arise underneath those categories. For example, men are more likely than women to experience hearing loss later in life (NIDCD 1). The number of Deaf and hard of hearing people rises with age, making the majority of the Deaf community in their 60’s (NIDCD 1). 10 percent of Deaf children are born to Deaf parents (NIDCD 1). That
