Neon sign

was for someone who might not have known any ASL (American Sign Language). Due to this thought, I became hesitant to the idea of actually going to this event. After explaining the whole week to one of my close friends she asked if I would go with her. Of course, I did and I could not be happier with the results. I was able to take away a few lessons for the course. I had an experience with getting to the class, I was able to learn many signs from said class, and I got the opportunity to talk…

Around 1760, the first public school for the deaf was launched by the Abbé Charles Michel de l’Épée in Paris (Eastman 300).” After this amazing advancement in the history of sign language, progress was very stagnant for about the next 150-200 years. From 1850 to 1990, medicinal and technological studies advanced greatly, especially concerning special education and handicap accessibility. Businesses have installed handicap services that were not available before. Job discrimination laws have been…

deaf. As human beings, the unknown is a scary thing. However, there’re many pros and cons for both manual and oral philosophies for educating the deaf. Personally, I feel if a child is deaf themselves and the parents should learn American Sign Language. American Sign Language is their native language; why take the language away from them. How is that fair? That’s just like someone taking away English from us and forcing us to learn and speak another language. I understand that parents want…

Through his efforts of teaching deaf children, Thomas Gallaudet brought American sign language in the United States as well as creating a deaf college. Thomas Gallaudet went…

thirty-three students (“A Brief History of the American Asylum”). “Dumb” at that point in history only implied that one could not speak (Crowley). However, since in this time in America deaf individuals learning to communicate beyond limited “home-made” signs was rare, there was also the assumption of cognitive impairment as well. The Connecticut Asylum helped change that wrongful assumption. Due to the challenging nature of travel in 19th century America, the school began as a residential…
