I just completed a linguistics course last quarter in which I found to be very interesting, since the professor discussed how those who are Deaf and are fluent in ASL, think in sign. For all you ASL users out there, is this true? Whereas, hearing people think in words. Since I don't use ASL at...

Congrats. I hope your interview went successful, although it was like a couple months ago. That's really amazing you're getting your doctorate in microbiology. It seems like you have a true passion in that field. I'm currently a first year at UCLA and sadly chose this school over UC Berkeley...

congrats..enjoy yourself immersing into the Deaf culture..that's a great place to pick up ASL quickly from interacting with other Deafies..how many years does it take to become a interpreter??

RIT/NTID is a great school..better than CSUN and Gally in terms of the quality of education..it has several hundreds of deafies and are consists of both who sign and speak, plus they really help you find a job after you graduate which is a great plus wheras in Gally, the whole school is deaf...

I personally don't like this idea of how the big Deaf community (big "D") want to isolate themselves from the hearing world to form their own little town for only ASL users. It seems like they are shutting themselves from everyone else and formulating their own society. But I guess it's for...

ntid will accept anyone with some sort of a hearing loss..so it's really no surprise that you got in..i mean, i applied to RIT..not ntid college as a back up school and got into rit easily..anyway, sorry if i sound so mean but that's the truth..good luck with your futurer endeavors.. =D

Apply I definitely encourage you to apply to hearing colleges, especially public universities. Based on the law, you have the right to request interpreters and captioning by consulting with the school's disabilities office. Do what I did last year: visit or call each of the schools'...

DUDE..of course a person can speak like any other normal hearing person..you see, i was born w/ a profound hearing loss and luckily, i was raised oral..and i was fortunate to have good speech and listening skills through tons of hours of speech therapy early on..the sooner you get fitted w/...

hey guys, I'm Jennifer and am a profoundly deaf individual from the Los Angeles area. I currently have a cochlear implant and was raised to speak and listen. I am gradually learning sign language since I am very interested in it and hopefully my ASL skills will improve over the years. I am...

i think it's a great idea for young infants to recieve CI's at such a young age, because of the many great advantages. One is the ability to develop good listening skills early on and if that works, then the child could develop good speech, but it does require a lot of time and therapy in order...

hey..ellie's son is too young to be asked if he would like the CI..don't you get it? it's the parents' decision of whether he would benefit from it..and the earlier he gets it, the more likely he would be able to fit into the hearing world..and who cares if he wants to be involved in extreme...

go for it i highly recommend that your son should get a CI..almost every hearing parent wants their child to be able to listen and speak and interact comfortably in the hearing world..as a nucleus 22 CI user myself for almost 13 years (i was born w/ a profound hearing loss), i am so grateful...
