I was excited to go and on the way there we decided that we were going to pretend we were deaf; meaning that we would sign the entire time. Right as we set foot outside the car the silence began, even Alex’s mom mentioned how she had never chaperoned for kids that were this quiet.

Consequently, if there is a constant flow of pedestrians, then the cars and bikes will have to yield to all of them.

The above points illustrate the control which Eve has over Adam – she has emotional and intellectual power over…

There is a tendency in museums to see the audio guide as an old fashion, or outdated technology. In September 2013, the Metropolitan Museum of Art responded to these preconceived notions and launched a new audio guide. Museum’s have traditionally thought of audio guides as a product that visitors can carry with them to enhance their visit, rather than a important role in visitor experience. As advertised on their website, the audio guides serve as away to enhance the visitor experience; “Get…

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.
