If it was more awareness in school and in public in general then people would not be so darn intorable of BSL also I do not know if you know this but the three main letters BSL now have a complete different meaning!

    Hi Deaf granny

    Depending on what country you live in. Some charity may be able to help you. But in the UK you can not work and claim benefits/welfare if you do you get heavy fines. Might be a case of Google and asking your local area council or looking for deaf society in your area to help advice you better :)
