Repeat sign

project I have created a sign language review video and a sign language booklet, that are both specific to one individual who has a developmental disability and uses sign language. For this project I will discuss why the individual uses sign language and why these materials are useful to her. I will explain the need for the video and the booklet in addition to the process of creating them step by step. Additionally in this project is information from research on the use of sign language by…

Handshape In sign language there are a variety of handshapes that are used to create signs. The majority of these handshapes come from the manual alphabet and numbers and can have slight modification to the handshape and C hand shape. (For images representing the manual alphabet and numbers please refer to pages 4 and 5 of the booklet) Carol struggles to produce select handshapes, some of which are acceptable modification, some of which are due to lack of focus and need to be practiced. An…

deaf of hard of hearing. Being truly proficient in American Sign Language (ASL) is not purely based on signing skills. Those who are considered fluent signers are those who understand the underlying concepts and conversational innuendos, such as idioms. American Sign Language is a visual-gestural language currently being used by approximately 250,000-500,000 Americans of all ages (Baker-Shenk 47). The language was developed from French Sign Language through the collaboration of Laurent Clerc…

Conclusion My hypothesis stated that Digitalis and Furosemide will both work upon the patient’s left side heart failure. However, the experiment concluded that only Digitalis was effective upon the patient’s condition. Administration of Furosemide led to a relatively quick death of the patient. I did not expect the patient to die while being administered Furosemide. In fact, I had hypothesized that while both drugs would work effectively upon the patient, that the Furosemide would work at a…

Imagine a man who is so smart that he clearly observes major enlightenments and downfalls of a new nation. Now, imagine a man who is so shy he rarely talks to women. These two men are one in the same, more commonly known as, Alexis De Tocqueville. Tocqueville was a great writer, philosopher and overall scholar of his time, but he never could quite figure out one very important piece of the democratic puzzle, women. He spoke highly of the American woman; however, he took diminutive time truly…

education. Gallaudet traveled to Paris in search for someone to help him find teaching methods for deaf children. Gallaudet met and convinced a French man, Laurent Clerc to come back to the United States with him. Gallaudet received information on sign language, and how to educate students who are deaf. Gallaudet and Clerc founded an American School for the Deaf in 1817, in Hartford, Connecticut, which became the nations first school for death children. In 1864 the college division was formed…

The Deaf are a linguistic minority who face many communication barriers in the health care setting. For the Deaf population, American Sign Language (ASL) is the preferred method of communication, if not their native language. ASL is its own language, consisting of syntax, grammar, and vocabulary separate from that of English. Thus for many Deaf individuals, English is a second language and a language that they may not be completely literate in. This is critical to consider as most health care…
