Always a great time!

My son's gf is hoh, and is oral, and worked p/t as a cashier for several years at a grocery store (he met her there as they worked together). She didn't have any major issues, and would just ask customers to repeat themselves if she didn't catch what they said first time. She's working in a...

I would think she has the dogs on those leashes like that in order to have her hands free. The article mentions she has PTSD, I'm sure being followed and harassed by the store employee was incredibly distressing for her.

Yes, it was free. Really busy, too.

I was there, and bought some bits and pieces. Wish I'd known that was you! Happy travels.

Cool, Jiro, which booth, I'll come by and say hi! :-)

I wanted to share this, in case anyone on AD is in the Toronto area (Deaf or students learning ASL), and wasn't aware of the festival this weekend! :wave: http://www.deafontario.ca/Mayfest_2014_PDF.pdf

Sheri, I'm sorry that happened to you.Your friend sounds like a selfish jerk. I'm sure you'll really benefit from going to your Deaf Association and meeting other people that are living the same circumstances. Maybe it's time to start using those rusty ASL skills again! Good luck.

Suuuuper jealous you went! Wish I had been able to go too. Can't wait to hear about it next week at ORAD.

I was hoping it was going to be a super deep puddle and he got stuck. Then who would have been laughing, huh?!

The program metalangel and I just graduated from included a course in Deaf Culture, where we discussed Deaf arts, services, accessibility,Audism, and about being allies within the Deaf world. We also had a couple of different guest speakers: one from the Canadian Hearing Society, about assistive...

See if you can get the library to find a copy of The Mask of Benevolence for you, it clearly explains the oppression and audism perpetrated against the Deaf community, and will further your learning of Deaf culture, which is an integral part to learning ASL. :-)
