That's pure ignorance. ADA rules are protected by law. That "Chief" needs educated, he is a cog and an ass.

I was at a Deaf Advocate seminar a few years ago. It was wonderful. I was at a dinner table with about 8 individuals that were Deaf and loving the exposure. The woman next to me asked what I did on the drive up. I told her I listened to podcasts in finger spelling, then asked if there was a sign...

Thai curries are some favorites. Pho Sweet Potato Soup BBQ

Inclusion is beautiful; the more people that care about it the better. :) I hope you get some fellow Aussie's to help with resources. Many here probably know ASL. Good luck and welcome!!

Merry Christmas, Mart. I hope you and all reading this have a wonderful weekend. (Some may not celebrate Christmas, Hope y'all have a great time, too.)

Welcome! This site is full of people that might be able to help; what state do you live in now? Maybe someone will see this and reach out with more information. Also, there are great resources for kiddos on Youtube where children's books are read to them in ASL. That could be fun for both of...

Is there someone you are comfortable practicing with; have conversations where they help you get to the right level and keep it. Then build the muscle memory of what it feels like? If you notice certain phrases or words getting asked to be repeated a lot; ask that same person to help with the...

It's never been easier to work from home. There are tons of seasonal and PT work on LinkedIn search "remote" work from home won't get hits. I learned. ha If you're a gamer, maybe a Twitch Channel? Could be a passive income over time. I've seen companies pay for surveys filled out. Babysitting...

I like looking into local auctions for unique pieces and good deals. Etsy is another favorite for supporting small business. They tend to have a wide array of styles and price ranges to match any taste or budget. Congratulations on your renovation completion!

Sick and table look nothing alike? Sick isn't the only sign with both hands in the same position, either. What about interested? Satisfied? Died and so on. I agree that given context in a sentence, most people would be able to receive the message of a two handed sign done with one. People sign a...

First, it's not weird. My uncle was super shy and had never had a girlfriend until he was 30; 8 years later they are happily married with a 1 year old daughter. It'll happen when it happens. Love can be found in all kinds of places. Maybe a Deaf Event? Maybe a dating app; the key with those...

That is wonderful. I'm happy for you and yours getting to live your dream. Country living is the best in my humble opinion. Enjoy the peace :)

And/or take a look at our life styles and work on those before expensive and sometimes prohibitive treatments? I help people with their doctors appointments for a living and have seen primary care doctors get frustrated with a patient with diabetes and high blood pressure not change their diet...

I binged the Scream series, season 1 on Netflix this weekend. Idk how I missed it before now. I hope you guys had a good weekend :)

Thank you for your vote of confidence; I appreciate it. I hope I did it justice. In no way do I claim to be an expert but I try to help people however I can in a day.

Thank you for reaching out for help and advice. That takes a big person in any area of profession. Asking the Deaf individual how they communicate best is key, some were raised in "oral" households and can lipread fairly well. However, in a high stress situation such as a car wreck, writing it...

Welcome and good morning, Sophie :) What brings your to alldeaf?

I can't be certain from state to state what the law would be but would that not be covered in a blanket way by ADA under reasonable accommodations? Just a thought

I've been preoccupied by the nightmare I woke up from today. It left me bawling most the morning and I can't shake the anxiety. Today is a real struggle for me today. Trauma dates can mess with a person. If you're a person struggling, be kind to yourself. Hell, be kind in general. Even if...
