Really, there are many GREAT books, two of my favorites though are actually written by hearing people, with a lot of Deaf input, they are: A Loss for Words by Lou Ann Walker and Reading Between the Signs by Anna Mindess Really, there are tons of great books by both Deaf authors as well...

That was the exact same thought that I had! I am a new interpreter, and though not yet certified, I am interpreting in a professional capacity. It is a difficult line to figure out! You don't want to draw the line too much and lose your friends, but you also don't want to be too friendly and be...

Luckily now, more and more there are performances not only with sign language interpreters, but performances in ASL! BIG RIVER was a nationally touring performance...Los Angeles has tons of performances done by DeafWest such as Sleeping Beauty Wakes...you will be able to see stage performances...

Um...there are many ways you could say it...depends on what exactly you meant, you could literally sign that...but often times the reaction could be "SHIT" ...it depends, lol, as it always does

RIT/NTID? CSUN?

Agreed! I need to read it again...it's been awhile.

I really, REALLY suggest you getting the book "Reading Between the Signs" by Anna Mindess. She is an interpreter of 25+years, and with input from many Deaf people, wrote a book about intercultural communication---she wrote about many cultures, INCLUDING Deaf culture. There is a "spectrum"...

www.ohsoez.com usually has a list of Deaf churches, hope that helps :)

The CODA BROTHERS, under the name Olsenterp on YouTube, are giving Keith Wann a run for his money in the funny department, watch them! SH*T is a good one to start with, or HOME SIGNS if you don't know them yet :)

Kimberly, This must be such a hard decision for you! Her education is important, and so is your relationship with her! Most parents struggle with sending their child to live on campus at such a young age, it's hard to only get to see your little one once a week. BUT...

A link that talks about believe it or not Sign Language Rights http://www.omegait.net/slr-canada/en/index.php?menu=home Enjoy!

a few more thoughts Allykat, I would like to try to explain better why Deaf people might react to your questions in a negative way. Deaf people's biggest barrier, (this is the belief of the Deaf community from what I have seen as well as my personal one) is not their decibel loss but the...

a few thoughts Allykat, I know you are just now starting this venture into learning about the Deaf community, Deaf culture and ASL. Good luck! For some basics, you can just read around, but this link has some suggestions from Deaf people, and hearing people who have learned how to...

My experience has been that Deaf people in the East sign...overall...more ASL than those in the West. CSUN, as good a Deaf studies program as it may have in some ways, is often referred to as SEESUN...and Orange County is the birthplace of SEE, so So-Cal and ASL...um...no, specific...

I'm gonna play a little bit of devil's advocate here, as well as just as you some questions. First I will say that I think you totally have a right to sign, and sign and not speak but... You don't want your husband interpreting for your hearing family because you want them to learn sign...

I can honestly say I don't know how many parents you have been around, but the fact that you've even met those parents of deaf children shows they are at least somewhat involved with their Deaf children, which shows a bias in itself. I also want to say, before I complain about them, that...

I am in this situation OFTEN as a CSUN student, and now a terp. But as I was taught, and as just seems common sense to me, if a Deaf person is in the room, I sign. / Like Interpretrator said, if the Deaf people are not watching and active in the conversation, I let the signing go a little...

If I understand the question, it is NOT about whether or not hearing people should LEARN sign, but it's about if they already KNOW sign should they use it or not...those are two very different questions, it seems you are asking about the second one...

I am a current student at CSUN, and I know there are many people who would be willing to be interviewed, though I know the label "special needs" isn't great. There are over 200 Deaf students at CSUN, as well as Deaf faculty, there are also many people with learning disabilities on campus as...

Does everyone already know about this? Has anyone used it? What do you think if you have? Positives and Negatives? http://www.harkle.com/
