Washington School for the Deaf is a couple of hours away in Vancouver, right on the border of Portland. It is not near Seattle. There is a private school for the deaf in seattle but it is oral approach (I think).

Do you have to bend over a bit to do the sign? Trying to see if I am imagining this properly...

Giving a presentation about my family tomorrow and need to figure out how to sign that my brother used to be in the Navy. I found a sign for "navy" but not sure if it is the color or the military branch as it doesn't say?? Sign for NAVY | ASL Sign Language Video Dictionary "Army" American...

I met a Deaf guy at the store today, in the produce section... I was diggin' though the celery, and all of it was bad...He was putting more produce out, I turn to him and ask him if he has any more celery because it's all bad. He says "I'm deaf", I nod and he starts to take out a note pad but...

I'm in Vancouver WA presently but possibly moving into Portland in a couple of weeks. I'll send you a message! :)

I finally got a chance to watch the second episode of this show last night. I didn't record the first one but I really liked the second one. As a hearing person who is not familiar with the deaf community I have a few thoughts. One, I feel like the deaf issues portrayed were interesting to a...

I recently went to an ASL meetup and I do not have a working knowledge of ASL, only half the alphabet and maybe ten signs! At first I felt like a burden but a woman there did help me out a little and taught me colours, drinks and such. When she had to go, another guy there helped me with some...

I have been away from the forum for way too long and didn't get a chance to see this post. I'll place a hold on this book at the library. :)

Awww. This is awesome :D

Is there a larger version of the code? The picture in the article is pretty small, I can't read it...

I'm not fond of GMO's. Breastmilk -- from real human mothers -- is (almost always) the best option for babies. We don't need cows to "produce human milk"... we need more women to donate their excess breastmilk :)

I don't know, I'm not fond of extraneous rules in any situation. Shutting off every connection you have to the outside world because you're listening to a lecture is just... it's just plain weird. It's not even about respect. Let's be honest, if a teacher really respected their students they...

School officials should not be the ones to relay personal messages to people, it is not their job or their business. Also, sending a lot of notes throughout the day is just plain impractical. I did have notes sent to me periodically throughout elementary and even middle school -- that was fine...

Skype has a video (visual) component, in addition to a phone (audio) component. So, you can communicate through a "video call". HTH.

It does seem kind of sad that they want to be like their hearing brother, but that also is a normal thing to feel when growing up. Would you feel differently if they wanted a haircut similar to their brother, to wear clothes of a certain brand because their brother wears those, etc.? In other...
