[QUOTE="x1heavy, post: 2552839, member: 97095"] Hello Ori, There should be a Lutheran Church not far from you that does Deaf Services if they are still doing it 40+ years on. I am not pushing religion at all on this one. Just strictly a way to get in car and drive to where the deaf are. Maryland is full of Deaf everything to it's virtual eyeballs so a bit of google for this association that organization or whatever with Deaf would be all around you. Interviewing is not necessarily a good way to meet a deaf. You need to be with that person and just communicate. It will be painfully obvious that you are learning. Heck I am too myself all these years. Some of the young ones have a language all their own. Regarding the website, I will have to sit and explore it and see if it matches what I know here. There will be regional and national differences in the USA. And habits too. For example ther eare at least 4 variations of the word Computer referring to the big bulky cranky error prone device sitting on the table. Its a bit much to go into all that. So you as a deaf would *Snip* down to comp and then point to a imaginary box on the table while talking about it. Unless it is s formal military order or work place order and so forth then those signs will be really accurate and take a while to convey from Boss to worker. At some point catching a deaf to interview in person is a bit much. But that will come along in due time. You just have to go fishing for one. [/QUOTE]
