What community college is it? Colleges usually have a list of the price breakdown: how much tuition costs, how much room and board costs if the college has dorms and/or meal plans, any extra fees, etc. If you say what college you decided, people might be able to help easier. I will say that...

*looks at links* Huh, I thought that post was talking about people coming here just to find a deaf significant other! (Which, IIRC, HAS happened here.) (Note of clarity: I am also hearing.

My mom has a wireless headphone setup on the TV because she watches shows like The Voice, and she likes to hear things like that and didn't want to bother neighbors (plus music show captions royally suck half the time, but yeah). It was her Christmas present. It's set up all fancy like so you...

The dialect issue is good to know, actually. (There are dialects in ASL, too, but it sounds a lot more standardized than what you're describing, and I've only run into misunderstandings of a sign like twice.) I still haven't found decent materials past the basics, but I'm attempting to learn...

If your options include online, I'd suggest Lifeprint. Lots of signs and lessons free! (Though I'd also look into local cheap or free classes to enrich your learning, as well as getting out there. Also, if you need proof of completion, I think that may cost money at Lifeprint (that's the same as...

Unfortunately, the only curriculums I could explain to you from when I did practicum in a deaf school are the MS sped and preschool. The MS sped class was pretty behind for various reasons (from intellectual disability to extremely late language exposure), but they had had a few students quickly...

Hope you do great in your new job! *to hs lady* Oh... sweetie... in that case my mom's a doctor. *slow nods*:roll: (Granted, she works in a medical lab and the amount they've tacked onto her job description and all the stuff she's learned over the years means that if someone were to come...

I think it's more a widescale problem with sound. I have a similar thing on a lesser level (though it tends to be worst with discordant/cacophonous sounds). I can understand where he's coming from (my sensitivity having pushed me to tears in one instance), but it's not a smart idea, especially...

Yeah, I did happen across those when there was this language-centric day on another site I frequent and we all got into a discussion on sign languages, but I wasn't sure how true to word order and grammar and all that they were... they were pretty, though? (Oh, gosh, I think I now re-understand...

No, blunt is okay. I'm fully aware it could be a bit before I could use Japanese in any ways that it interacts with the language (or read sites written in Japanese to aid myself). I was just having a lot of trouble finding ways to learn more than the basics presented in any language. Having more...

So, I'm going to start taking Japanese this semester and wanted to attempt to concurrently *attempt* ("attempt" because there is a strong chance I will fail at this self-teaching task) to teach myself JSL. I would take a class... but none are offered AT my college and I have a feeling it's...

To OP: Being on the spectrum with sensory sensitivity (not at your level, though, on the sounds), I can say that your best bet is to wear earplugs and the actual industrial-type sound protection type of earmuff together, possibly secured to be held tighter to your head with like a sweatband or...

In our school, it's... hrm, is it its own category? Ours doesn't sort by anything other than the "call numbers" (the first four pieces of course info like SPCE or JAPA or SNLN), and the ASL is all in one course category by itself. But on the other hand, it's not afforded the same treatment as...

I've seen CODAs do ASL music videos, and they're often the most visually captivating and not-to-English-grammar. And I've known of a few deaf people (likely with varying levels of connection to Deaf culture) who do it as well. To be a person who seems to have little experience with sign...

.

Meh, those have their issues, too, though (there are definitely people with intellectual disabilities as well as schizophrenic people who would slap you sideways for that like most people are doing here). I can understand a desire to not want to communicate with creepers/drunks that was...

It depends on whether or not there is a net benefit to having a kid wear something. You have to weigh pros AND cons. Like the thing I mentioned with my brother and glasses. There were more cons to having him wear them than they benefited him outside of school. There are deaf people who receive...

If the child goes to a deaf school where the instruction is entirely (or primarily) in sign (she does), not having a hearing aid is not going to break her education. This is from someone majoring in deaf ed with a year of in-classroom experience. Yeah, at school, if they're requiring her to do...

OP is HOH, though.

I have no idea, I was just stating it was possible to download an app and then not have an account for the thing in the app.
