surely be part of an interdisciplinary team tasked with supporting those who experience hearing loss if I chose to work in the schools. Thus, the presentations from Presbyterian Ear Institute (PEI), New Mexico School for the Deaf (NMSD), and American Sign Language Academy (ASLA) were not only beneficial to my appreciation of the many approaches used to teach deaf and HOH children, they were critical…

When some people hear about baby sign language on local news clips or television they might think that teaching babies how to communicate through signing is just a fad. In my 19 years experience of teaching hearing children how to sign as a form of regular communication, I can say that signing with your child is not just a fad, rather a smart parenting technique that can have lasting positive effects on your child to adulthood. My work has created a fascination for me to discover why hearing…

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows were juxtaposed next to each other to examine the elements of their stories. By examining these elements one can determine the differences in the values, mores, and beliefs of those in the Victorian Era compared to those in the 21st century. The prevalence to the 21st century is shown in the movie while the Victorian Era is shown more in the book. This is because the book was first published in 1892 and the movie was…

Hand gestures are generally used universally but vary throughout different parts of the world. For example, a V sign with fingers may indicate peace in some areas of the world but war in others. A study was conducted to observe young children in order to determine if they can create iconic gestures from their head or if they just mimic what they have witnessed…
