Welcome to AD! Hi Rose, Welcome to AD! I was born and raised in Southern California. I work at the workshop here in Orange County, for 27 yrs. Also I'm an interpreter for the deaf. Enjoy your stay. Margie

Thats right! Richard is right about only 2 percent are part of the deaf culture.

I agree sign language is different I'm an interpreter myself and I've seen people sign words differentlly. In England they use BSL, like here in the US we use ASL. They have many kinds of sign languages in the world. Margie

I agree. ASL is not hard, but it just takes pracitce. Pracitce with your interpreter, then go find out where the deaf hang out. Good luck! I'm an interpreter myself Known sign lanaguage(ASL) for 30 yrs. Margie

I never had a nickname either. I never had a nickname or any boyfriends or girlfriends. I was picked on in school and it still goes on. The kids in school called me every name in the book, from MR, stupid, Bozo the Clown, Shriley Temple, and "Dirty Jew". Its no fun being a lonely. Margie...

Right on! Hi Snyder, Thats neat that you want to work with the deaf and the hard of hearing. I've known ASL for 30 yrs,and I use it everyday. The other person is right about going to the library and ask them if they have any sign lanaguae books in ASL. We have many on our website...

Right on! Good Luck Codger! Hope you win the law suit. Keep your chin up!

I agree with that! I totally agree with Richard. There is a shortage of interperters,and VRI is a very good idea, so the deaf who are in jail can understand whats going on. And someday they can go into a rehab trainning program to get a good paying job. Margie Dir. of Commuication Services...

A Great Idea! I say alll businesses should hire the deaf. They can work just has good has anyone. If you can go to a company, ask if they have any deaf employees, and see if you can interview them,and add it to your paper. Good Luck! Margie Dir. of Commuications Services OCDAC Interpreter

Read before you sign! Richard is right about Sorenson. Their liars! You can use any VRS you choose,don't let them mislead you. Read the contract carefully before you sign it. If you have trouble reading it ask for the ASL verson. Don't let any them rip you off. Margie Dir. of...
