From what I understand, Sim Com is using Engilsh and ASL simultaneously; please correct/add to my definition if it is incorrect. I find that I Sim Com a lot because the people I use ASL to communicate with on a regular basis Sim Com. I was wondering if anyone here uses Sim Com and curious what...

Has anyone seen this film yet? It hasn't aired near me, so I haven't been able to see it, but it's supposed to be coming out on DVD soon!! I've seen clips from the movie and a few of Aneta's poems and can't wait to see the whole film! It looks amazing; I love ASL slam poetry!! To anyone who's...

In my survey of the exceptional child education class, there was a chapter about effectively teaching deaf/hoh students. Each group had to present on a chapter and, unfortunately I was not in the group for deaf/hoh because I would have corrected many of the misconceptions they had. One of the...
