You could try contacting someone at Gally and Harlan Lane at RIT/NTID to see if there are studies that are already done or in the process. Harlan is Deaf and a graduate of WPSD and did a lot of research and books himself. I met him a couple times while I was subbing at WPSD. Gally has a ton...

There is another thing to consider but I am not familiar with deaf education in WV. There could be a mainstream program where a bunch of DHH students come together from different towns and take classes of their own with a DHH teacher. Sometimes they will take regular ed classes with hearing...

If you are not 100% sure you want to be an interpreter and you haven't mentioned whether you have signing skills already, maybe you could just go to a community college and take electives before you finally decide on a major. You can transfer your electives credits to the university so you...

And I would assume the news cast didn't show the security video on TV? :P

Actually, we are extra careful when chatting while walking. But if you have already noticed, hearing people are just as bad, if not worse, when it comes to moving aside when someone wants to walk faster and pass them.

I do agree that sometimes we can't expect governmental parties to just agree with each other and that sometimes we do have to take some pains in stride in order to make improvement. Screw the fact that health care reform would mean more taxes because it would mean that everyone would be...

It's ridiculous to depend on the values of a piece of earth to sustain us. Not to mention how much damage a mining company can do to our planet.

I looked through the website and it seems to me that the black list is a list of companies that engage in illegal activities (i.e. dumping waste in non-designated areas) or shady practices (i.e. not providing information to stock holders where the profits are going) and other things. It's not...

All that it takes to make water is hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms, both of which are available somewhere in the universe. Plus, an atom of one element can add or lose protons or electrons to change into an atom of a different element. There is water on Mars (though probably mostly frozen in...

I would bet this law has more to do with texting in certain situations, like walking along a train track (really, nobody should be doing that period), crossing a street, walking along a busy street, through a parking lot, etc. It's not an issue if a street is wide enough with few cars and...

I have never heard of IEP exams or IEP education. Sure, the kids do have IEPs, but they only list goals, needs, services, etc. The IEPs themselves are not the basis for making an exam. The teachers decide what to test on the exams. I am assuming perhaps you mean alternative state testing...

Looks like the same concept as the China Bus. However, there are many red flags: 1. there's no links, info page, examples of what a PlaneRed flight might look like, what restrictions there are, how many layovers there are before the final destination, etc. 2. looks like a referral...

Or check out the various videos made by deaf people and CODAs on youtube :) I love the Idiot on a Motorbike vid XD

Pessimist, much?

Then use a laundromat, hang up your clothes to dry, do a small load everyday instead of one big load, wear pants twice before washing, don't use fresh pajamas every night, wash at home then dry in the laundromat, etc. Lots of options.

The only way to find out if you like a certain job is to go ahead and get a job. Try it out for several months. If you don't like it, you can try a different job. There are always opportunities to move up, too. Even with learning disabilities, you can work in retail like Walmart, Target...

If all the baskets are full, are we supposed to just accept that and transfer wet clothes in our arms? Why should we waste our time hunting down the owner when it takes only 30 seconds to pull the clothes out of a machine and pile it on the machine or table? You don't want me touching your...

This would be easier, because to have a town, it needs to have businesses run by deaf people. Plus, with the original plan being in SD, can one really expect deaf people to just yank their roots from their cities and move to a new town with very few services in the middle of nowhere? It is...

Well, no not just for related diseases but for health care in general. After all, smoking around people can also cause respiratory problems, ear infections, and drunken driving can cause physical harm to other people in an accident. It's not really that simple to just keep various sources of...

Most parents can't afford private schools. These are even more expensive than public schools. The reason the public schools are bleeding dry is that their towns have been voting on lower and lower budgets due to the economy. I would recommend cutting some office admin (who needs that many...
