American Sign Language

hearing same as hearing people. Holcomb states, “There is no hard and fast line between deaf and hard-of-hearing people in the Deaf community” (Holcomb 46). Karen is excited to be a part of the Deaf community and because she is willing to learn American Sign Language fluently I believe she will be easily accepted in the Deaf community. However there are some requirements stated in the book that Holcomb said must be satisfied to be comfortable in the Deaf community. In the chapter Holcomb…

in the Deaf community. In Worcester, Massachusetts, she was born Deaf to a Deaf mother and hearing father. She did not immediately start to learn American Sign Language – her mother taught her how to speak, and she became a very proficient lip-reader.

are a few different types of sign language around the world. However, the most common sign language is used in the United States is ASL (American sign language). Moreover, deaf people not only have their own language, but also have their own culture like hearing people. The deaf culture is very important to the deaf community.

I used to think sign language was just other form of aid to help people better understand and communicate with the world today. Come to find out that it is its own language and comes with history behind it. As I’m learning about the history and the culture of the Deaf community, it feels like there is so much more I could be learning. After reading Deaf Again by Mark Drolsbaugh, I have learned more of what it’s like to be deaf through a 1st person point of view. Drolsbaugh goes through great…

were practically ignoring. In 2011, 0.38% of the United States population was deaf, while in 2010 12.6% of the United States population was African American. My mind was blown. I never imagined that it was so low. To make it worse one of the more shocking things that I found was the fact that even though American Sign Language is the sixth-most used language in the United States, deaf students are still struggling in the public school system because they don’t have the proper means to learn the…

speech. For this reason, I would integrate AAC systems in my classroom for a child who cannot communicate verbally. I would introduce basic ASL (American Sign Language), use pictures for queues and/or electronic communication boards that display communicative messages in form of writing, pictures, lines and letters. From experience I find pictures with basic sign helps children and teachers communicate. If a child can not express what they are trying to say they can point to a picture or use…
