Rio I just saw Society's Child in June. when we got our cable box with more channel and ON Demand stuff. It was a real good movie and it was sad. she was a normal healthy baby until one day she just started crying. I know its hard for any mother to have so many children and then have one with a disability.

I'd be really glad to hear from people with hearing difficulties what I can improve for them to make apps and their experience better.

Is it legit then to have some space/questions on this forum? I definitely don't want to spam or do any advertisement. Please advise.

Stan.

I would LOVE be able book taxi on text!!!

The texting taxi guy lives in Prague! Not at all random if you think like Bottesini!

Sunshine · 09-10-2011, 10:32 PM

Oh!!! Lol. I not see this!

Dawne · 11-15-2011, 08:53 PM

I'm a little nervous that I might be seen as trying to take advantage. honestly I'm not. I think ASL is BEAUTIFUL and I want to make friends AND learn here. Yes, it WILL help me at work, but that's a good thing, right? I take care of people for a living and I truly feel if I can communicate better then I can give better care. I hope that's not seen as the wrong reason for joining.

So my intentions are all good. I dont have any questions, I have the internet and the library for that. I simply want to get involved. I know it sounds weird to say..." I want deaf friends"... That's like saying "I'm learning spanish and I want Latino friends. That sound kinda... I don't know. I can't help that I am attracted to ASL. I love to sign and learn new signs. I want to be an interpreter because I feel that I have an ability to help communication barriers between hearing and Deaf, if help is needed/wanted.. I'm so happy to be welcomed to alldeaf. I just wanted to clarify my presence.

Really a great posting. There are so many ways that I interact with people, but mainly I am used to interacting online. I need to step outside of my comfort zone, Yes, but it seems that the only way to really get involved is to dive right in. So that's what I am trying to do!

My answer: That I have no trouble getting others to understand me in the mainstream world. However, communicating with people who primarily use ASL is some times difficult for me. Therefore, I am taking action to learn ASL, and learn about the culture of the Deaf/HoH community...

What kind of answer is that? What could one possibly glean from the honest answer? What could one glean from the answer to your posted question? Nothing. Which is why I would like to find ways to immerse myself in the two cultures (hearing, and Deaf). I have been blessed w/ a natural curiosity to learn all that I can about a given topic. The topic I have chosen is communication in all its forms.

I LOVE to talk and communicate w/ others. So, I've taken on the task of learning ASL...

Anyway, just wanted to say that I thought this was a great thread! I'm off to search the internet for info. on syntax and such in ASL.

Hope to get to know some of the folks on the forum,
Victoria

Frisky Feline · 09-13-2012, 04:50 AM

the busy time of this month for kiddos who are in school about like this thread. *bump*

JonMarsharllUSA · 10-15-2012, 01:19 AM

Hello! Newbie here, but don't worry....NO INTERVIEWS OR SURVEYS FROM ME!!!

. MY name is Jonathan Marshall, and I am HOH and blessed with it because it is just an annoying hearing loss to where I cannot understand other when they are talking to me (which is even worse when they're facing AWAY FROM me!), so ever since I was a child I taught myself how to read lips--almost came as 2nd nature to me...LOL

!

Anyway, I read Callisto's post about learning ASL and not living in the States here, here are some easy, user friendly, and free to very minimal cost to use (for one of them, and that is to order the CD) links for everyone to use, if they so desire:

1. www.lifeprint.com (offers online 'classes' /tutoring by clickin on links; CD for sale by Professor (actual one from a Univeristy) for about $10...The money goes toward MORE PRODUCTION of the CD...great site! You can even print out the lesson(s) for free, but be prepared for using a lot (and I mean A LOT) of printer paper and ink!
2. www.aslpro.com self-teaching tutorial via videos.

THESE ARE THE TWO BEST SITES THAT I'VE COME ACROSS SO FAR, MAYBE THIS SITE WILL BE NUMBER 3?!

babysova · 10-28-2012, 02:09 PM

I ditto and absolutely agree (and relate to) what aprildawn said.

It would; however, be interesting to see some of those creative answers of Bottesini's.

Hello Everyone,

I am not deaf but I'm writing a research paper about the deaf culture and community and how they feel about cochlear implantation. I need people's actual opinions to incorporate into my paper, so I'm asking for your help. Names will not be used, but please provide your age and where you're from.

I'm 21 and an undergraduate student. I'm a Speech Pathology and Audiology student. I took courses on Audiology and have learned about cochlear implantation, HAs and other devices.
I saw the documentary, Sound and Fury, which led me to my research paper topic. For the purpose of my topic, I'm interesting on finding out how the deaf culture and community feels about, specifically, cochlear implantation. I'm not hear to start debates or arguments between people. I welcome all responses.
Thank you.

Do you feel that cochlear implantation will eradicate the deaf culture?
Are you for or against cochlear implantation?
Please write your thoughts and anything else that you feel will help me.

Hi I Am new DEAF fellow want to join with you good fellow a reply in writing will encourage me thanks

queenravenclaw · 05-12-2013, 10:57 PM

I'm not really new here been here for awhile but I was rereading the first post and had a suggestion for the new users.

My suggestions is if you really want to interview a deaf person. Maybe check your with your state or province and see if they have a place for deaf people example. I go to the Canadian Hearing Society, in my province there are 28 local chapters. Check with your local chapter and see if you can set up a interview say something like....

Hello my name is ____ and I was wondering if I could interview someone for my ASL class. Is there anyone that you can suggest for me. I'm sure the person who answers the phone will be willing to see if anyone who works there give you an interview. Even if they need an interpreter while they speak with you. That is even better it lets you see how to really communicate with them and learn new signs.

I could not find it!

Contact your alderman, they are the ones to get the ball rolling !

Hi! I registered just now for this purpose - to interview persons who have hearing aids. I appreciate this thread because it allows me read concerns and to pause to consider how to achieve my task while being respectful and thoughtful of this community that I'm basically asking a favor of. I am an audiology student with Utah State University (living in Texas) with an assignment to interview 3 people who wear hearing aids. I know one parent with a child who wears hearing aids, but no one else (I've asked). From a student prospective, I am a non traditional student with an active toddler who has been sick for a week. My preference is to sit and discuss my questions with individuals who wear hearing aids, however, I have a deadline and a sick toddler and well... again, I don't know anyone else who wears hearing aids. This site is listed on our USU facebook page as a great reference for students doing interview. So, I will search the threads to try and find the interview questions that I know have been asked before on this site. If I can't find anything, well I may start a new thread. I am genuinely interested in hearing disorders and have just started this journey onto my second career. Please, if you see my thread and chose to respond, I hope you will consider that. I am also open to any questions to me. Thanks and have a great day.
