Wirelessly posted Thanks Metalangel. I printed out pages with the alphabet and to help them remember the letters and sent them a playlist of asl interpreted music.

Wirelessly posted Great idea! Thanks

Wirelessly posted wow, I haven't been on in a while. Thanks for the insight LoveBlue. I can teach them, I think the problem is that they are so used to me voicing for them, they don\t really see the need to learn any sign for me. I was hoping if I found some ways to make it interesting and...

Wirelessly posted Hi there! Welcome to AD! What part of CO are you from? I was born in raised here in Denver. How long have you been taking ASL?

Wirelessly posted I already know ASL. I'm deaf. I want tips on how to support and motivate my friends/family to learn it.

Wirelessly posted That is doable. I know some people who drive two hours each way for work every day. You would just need to figure out out a couple times a week.

Wirelessly posted I bet there is a solution with a bit of time and a bunch of creativity. I am wondering, if the school doesn't charter bus, what if took a normal greyhound to somewhere he could be picked up? this couldn't happen til he if a but older, but thats how my parents did it if I had...

Wirelessly posted blondeon704 - does this school offer transportation service? When I went to deaf school, the school would charter so grey hound and also send out vans to other areas that didn't get bus service. My home district paid for it. if not, what about checking into carpooling? The...

Wirelessly posted Hi! I am wanting to start transitioning to being mostly voice off. Many of the hearing people in my life are supportive of this, and want to learn ASL. Just goes to show how blessed I am with such amazing people in my life! I'm looking for any advice on helping then learn...

Wirelessly posted Welcome! I love percussion. Actually considering buying a djembe drum to join in local drum circles.

Wirelessly posted I think there needs to be a whole forum focused late deafened, not just a thread. There are over 2000 posts on it! That is pretty daunting for a newly deafened person who isn't even entirely sure what to ask. I think that would cut down on misunderstandings. Someone never...

Wirelessly posted Hi! Welcome!

Wirelessly posted Welcome and good luck with your search!

Wirelessly posted P.S. Feel better soon!

Wirelessly posted That sounds like a pretty memorable day! It seemed like you were in an area pretty aware of deafness. If I'm out on my own and use ASL, people tend to just give me so blank stare. Writing seems to work well, but some will speak to me in response to my note, after writing...

Wirelessly posted The club host showed such an elitist attitude! It makes me so sad to see him berate Ellen. Yes she had areas needing improvement, but offer suggestion and support, not deafer-than-thou put downs. Attitudes like his will only serve to hurt signed languages and Deaf culture.

Wirelessly posted One time I was waiting for the bus and ran into another Deaf passenger. We were happily signing away and then this drunk guy comes up and starts screaming fake deaf voice noises at us and signaling that he was gonna slit me and my dog's throat. Luckily my our bus came, but...

Wirelessly posted ABR tests suck and can be wrong.

Wirelessly posted I'm Deaf Irish American. Erin go Braugh!

Wirelessly posted Can you guys use Skype? That might add speech reading and text support to the mix. Arguments are always the hardest to follow. People tend to talk faster and choppier when they are snarky. It may not be worth a huge discussion yet, but letting your beau know that he crossed...
