Hello all! Thank you for taking the time to read my post! I am currently working as an Ed Terp and am curious about your opinion of the dress code?

If you could answer any of the questions you want that would be amazing. Thank you!! The stereotype is that deaf people don’t/can’t enjoy music, do you agree or disagree and why? Do you personally enjoy music or do you have any deaf friends/family that does? There was a symphony where...

I am super excited! Years ago, I wanted to be an Interpreter Education at this community college that's an hour away from me, but I was talked out of it by my parents and I had no encouragement from anyone. I fell in love with the language, the culture, and I wanted to be able to communicate to...

Hi guys!! I'm now in college and I'm attending Ohio University (In athens Ohio) but I have a major interprter issue. This is worst than the one I had in high school (if you look at my previous threads from 2008-2012, you'll find it).. I need help researching some proofs about my right to...

Hi! My name is Niki and I'm new to this site. I'm 19 years old from NY and I am currently taking ASL in college. During the school year the ASL professors I have had are deaf so I was able to learn a lot and practice with them. Since it is the summer and I am back at home it is hard for me to...
