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.



We did not fight enough with the congressmen. They allow to support more and more forgien people who are coming to this country. Our taxes constantly go up and up billion dollars to help with forigen people. There is lack of people who speak up for provider a better training for the Deaf people's climb up their career promotion. They just sit down and feel sorry for themselves....

NO NO !! Need stop feel sorry for ourselves because we can't hear !!! We need to fight ourselves with Private Industries and Federal Government Agencies, WE CAN DO.... Expect... CAN'T HEAR AND SPEAK...

I agree but sometimes people find themselves in a situation where SSDI is needed like this man. He lost his job cuz of his deafness which is unfortunate. I am surprised that he didnt sue for discrimination but then again, we dont know what kind of job it is. Did it rely heavily on his ability to hear?

Some people use SSDI temporaly to get back on their feet. I did for 2 years and if it wasnt for it, I wouldnt be where I am now.

I do agree with u that I dont believe in deaf people taking advantage of it for a free ride.

Just my 2 cents.
