Cleary The Deaf
Cleary School for the Deaf was an extraordinary place to visit. I thought that the facility was well equipped and a pleasant learning environment for all children that attend the school. Cleary’s objective is to provide a nurturing environment where the individual needs of a student is identified and addressed. They provide a secure, emotionally supported environment to treat individual learner’s unique needs. Cleary is committed to meet the diverse needs of their students and to support their families.
Our tour guide began the tour by leading us into the library and gave us an informative presentation about the facility. Unfortunately, there was no personnel to comment on due to the school being closed for the day. The Presenter, the principal,

    Deaf Like Me

    Louise and Thomas Spradley are a fairly average American couple. They are young, married, and have one child, Bruce, and they of course love him deeply. One summer, Bruce becomes ill with German measles, or rubella. Just a few days before this diagnosis, Louise discovered that she was pregnant. The doctor tells her that contracting rubella while pregnant could lead to various congenital defects in the newborn. The indefinite quality of this warning serves as the material for Louise and Thomas’s nightmares for the next nine months.…

    Through Deaf Eyes Summary

    It was interesting to hear, and see, what kind of challenges that deaf people faced. One of the people I found interesting was. A hearing French professor had brought the language from France and that was how it signing had started. I thought that was interesting, because not only was it a long time to create a form of communication for the deaf community; they were also mistreated for their inability to communicate with the rest of the world. Another person that I found interesting, was Alexander Gram Bell, had a wife and mother, who were deaf. On top of that, it was startling at first, to hear that the deaf community treated him as a sort of “boogeyman.” I found it fascinating that he is well known in a hearing class for inventing the telephone, but in the deaf class, he is known for starting the Oralism form of communication in the deaf community. Along with that, Bell fought against having sign language being taught, because he felt that it was a “borrowed language.” Instead he wanted the people community to learn to speak and read lips. It was interesting to hear, because I assumed that most people who were deaf just learned sign language for their communication.…

    Telecommunication Devices for the Deaf

    TTYs (also called Telecommunication Devices for the Deaf (TDD) and text telephones) are used for two-way text conversation over a telephone line. They are the primary tool used by deaf people (and some hard of hearing people) for telephone conversation. Other visual telecommunications technologies and services, such as Internet chat and messaging, email, e-paging, and fax and e-mail are also used in telecommunications by people who are deaf or hard of hearing.…

    How Did John Singer Communicate The Deaf

    The deaf-mute John Singer could not communicate with most of the world because he couldn’t speak. He strove to break out of his isolated existence because he desperately needed to communicate his feelings with somebody who understood him. The isolation from which John Singer suffered was a combination of a personal individual control and environmental factors. John Singer, a tall man with gray eyes, and his friend Spiros Antonapoulos was an obese man of Greek descent. Both men were deaf and dumb and always together.…

    Gallaudet: The Deaf And Hearing Community

    There is an array of reasons that Gallaudet is paramount, to the Deaf and hearing community. The country's first school dedicated to advancing the education for Americans with hearing loss. Gallaudet has paved the way for other Deaf schools and colleges. The great progression of other Deaf schools would not be what they are without the University to shadow after.

    Deaf Again

    In Deaf Again, Mark Drolsbaugh, talks about his “fascinating journey” into the Deaf community. The best quote from the book to explain his hearing (liquid) world goes something like this by asking the reader to swim a mile in “his scuba gear”. "Imagine that you were born ... (in a) glass bubble underwater. You could watch all the fish swim and play, but you weren’t really a participant in that life ... With the help of technology, though, you could put on scuba gear and swim with the fish. However, the gear was heavy and uncomfortable, and as much as it helped you interact with the fish, you never were able to swim like them. You were different, and you knew it." Tempted to see what was up above, you were warned not to swim to the surface. After all, "Everyone knows it’s a liquid world ... Air is too thin, land is too hard. It’s a liquid world.”…

    For Hearing People Only

    1. What do you think of speech reading or lip reading? What are your thoughts on this topic? Do all deaf people know how?I think that speech or lip reading is something that should never be expected out of anyone, deaf or hearing. I do not think that a person’s mouth can be understood without sound coming out of it. There are too many different ways of saying things; lip shapes are different; lip movements are different; people enunciate words differently therefore causing different facial movements. I would personally never approach someone with the question of “Can you read my lips?” Deaf people are not lip readers but some could be considered as speech readers, that of which they are looking at all facial expressions and body movements such as shrugs and posture, as well as a speaker’s surroundings. In general, deaf people really do not like the idea of having to read someone’s speech or lips. At best, they would prefer you to get out a pen and piece of paper.The whole visual of being approached by someone screaming at you and asking you if you can read lips is just not appealing in my opinion.2. Relationships between speech pathologist and deaf people, explain about how they are with each other. Is it beneficial?There is a long-standing love-hate relationship between deaf people and numerous members of the medical profession.After a person has been diagnosed as being deaf, a speech pathologists has the task of molding the speech of the deaf children to somewhat “normal” speech of hearing people. They drill their clients with all of the speech forms of hearing people. Deaf are seen as defective and need to be fixed. Some clients appreciate their speech pathologists while others see them as demanding but fair; resent them because the speech training is grueling work; or see them as brutal, insensitive, and demeaning. Some deaf children do benefit from speech therapy and develop good speech skills to use in everyday life but a lot of deaf children put through…

    Deaf Event Reflection

    The first event that I attended was a Starbucks Coffee Night in Pasadena. It was on April first on a Saturday. I arrived at 7:30pm and left at 8pm. There were a lot of people that attended but not all of them were there for the event I believe that there were around twenty five people that attended the event. Overall the event was as described a coffee night, many of the people had been there before and would get in groups. Some would sit down but others would chat while standing up. I thought that there would be a difference in regards to the level of personal space compared to people of hearing. To a certain degree there was but not all that different, what I found more interesting was how some of the people preferred to stand. I was really…
