    Wanting to find out more about going to school for asl interpreter

    Where do you live? We need your location first. If you really need information on schools. In order to be an interpreter you need to complete a school, training, and be certified. Simply glide and practice is not enough. I can recommend starting from learning ASL from DVDs+ books...

    Learning asl

    1. Could you name your city in Maine? 2. You need to figure out why you lost your hearing. Could it be otosclerosis? In this case, the hearing can be returned without implants and hearing aids. Google about stapedoplasty. 3. Look for the ASL classes at local community colleges and adult schools...

    What do you do in your spare time?

    Everyone here is the same, a lot of deaf people were raised orally, without access to the sign language. Although a lot of people believe that we can lipread with 100% accuracy, in reality, we just guess or pretend to understand. I'm too in between. The point is to act, advocate for yourself...

    Hoh mum, hearing kids

    What is wrong with saying that? It is natural for someone with hearing loss. I and many other people with hearing loss do the same. If your oldest child cannot tolerate and understand that, you cannot tell that he/she is "the most tolerant person you know". You need to be more stern with them...

    Hoh mum, hearing kids

    Have you thought of Cochlear implants? If none of the above is option. Why not use notes? My kids bring notes, when they see that I struggle to understand something they said.

    Need some advice

    Hi, thank you! No, my signs are not yet adequate. Although some Deaf folks showed me how they use Video Relay services. So far, I'm okay with Text Relay, because it works pretty fine for me. I type fast, and so the operator, the conversation flow is almost always goes uninterrupted. Of course...
