ASL vs SEE: Super-cali-fragil-istic-ex-pi-alidocious

What truly blows my mind is that even in the year 2010 — with all the amazing research available — public school systems nationwide continue to FAIL our young, Deaf sisters and brothers with deficient teaching styles. Withholding natural access to language, ASL, from deaf children is a disgusting, shameful, form of subvert child-abuse. How dare anyone willfully choose to stunt a child’s cognitive development. When you deny ASL to a deaf child, you effectively lock them in a metaphorical basement with tiny windows looking out onto the rest of the world. Parents and educators … ASL is the answer you’ve been looking for — DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!! _______________________________________ The above is how I feel about several pertinent issues. The video itself is more simple: Fight ignorance with knowledge … and to just have fun, creatively. Big thank you to Dan Foley (DP) for being willing to play the role of ‘SEE’ and for his passion and dedication for spreading awareness about important issues in the Deaf community. I’m still learning how to use Premiere and After Effects to edit footage — sorry the quality of the video is not the best..

Our mothers, ourselves: A Mother’s Day appreciation by an immigrant’s daughter
When I was studying in college, my roommate would say, “I always know when you’re talking to your mother on the phone because it sounds like a whole bunch of Chinese punctuated by ‘No! No! No!’ – and then you hang up.”.

How to learn to sign?

Ok so I’ve met a really nice guy who is deaf, and I’m not. I’d love to learn sign language so we can talk to each other, I’m just not sure the best way to learn. Should I take a class, buy a book?…Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Learning Sign Language from a Book?

I’ve heard that you can’t learn sign language from a book, because, like speaking a language, there are accents and dialects that you can’t pick up from a book.

I don’t know anyone who signs- what do I do?
