I taught ASL to my hearing colleagues. That is how, I got promotion my job because I tried very hard to educational them. Now each of the State of Commonwealth established Disabilitiy Agencies to help with Deaf people for training, school, jobs, etc... Why do we encourage high school students to stay home to collect SSI/SSDI? They look up at their parents stay home to collect SSI, the children think oh the government would support those children rest of the life. NO !! We need to teach the Deaf children how important colleges and jobs for their future.
I do not force my children to attend college or what kind of jobs they should be looking for, I let them make their decision on their own, same applies to my friends who are on the government programs, You and I do not know what is going on in their lives, or the reason for them being on the assist programs.

Some are on the programs cause of low incoming when they do have a job as well. some are on the program to attend college or classes etc.
