Through Deaf Eyes is an insightful documentary detailing the history of both deaf culture and deaf education and describing many of the struggles which were encountered during the deaf communities fight for recognition. There were several points of interest in the film that I feel are crucial to understanding the deaf community; first, is the method used to educate deaf children. The early 19th century was a time of reform, especially in the religious community; it was believed that anyone could be saved as long you chose to believe. Many teachers of deaf students saw their role in the child (rens) life as slightly missionary. They could help save the deaf child from eternal damnation and in the process return the child to the hearing world.…
I was graduated from the New Jersey School for the Deaf in June 2012. The New Jersey School for the Deaf had legal to allow the students can graduate by the between 18 and 21 years old. Some of students had made their decision that they need to extend learning in education until 21 years old. In this reason, they were not ready to become an independent and unfulfilled, what do they want from this school. Furthermore, the ethnicities of students were Latino-American, Indian, Chinese, African-American and Hispanic in the New Jersey School for the Deaf, in fact, the many Latino students are coming from Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. These students are amazing and respect each other in New Jersey School for the Deaf. In contract, I also…
Edmund Booth was one of the first recorded and known enterprising deaf business owners. He also taught at the same school he graduated from which was the Hartford Asylum. He wrote a book too and it was called “Dialogue between greek patriot and an educated american deaf and dumb man”. And he founded the deaf school of Iowa which is where he also lived (Anamosa,Iowa). He also weighed 210 Lbs and was 6ft 3” and had a full beard that was…
Through Deaf Eyes is a film outlining deaf history and deaf culture. The movie touches on many key milestones in deaf American’s lives including: community interactions, education, recreation and work. While we have been learning much on deaf history, I was fascinated to hear the many obstacles deaf people had to overcome to reach where they are today. I am one to always route for the underdog and to me the deaf community’s history is a wonderful example of a minority persevering to achieve set goals and dreams. This movie helped me realize that while obstacles for modern deaf people are numerous, in the past they were almost…

As one would expect, struggles to preserve sign language, drive automobiles, obtain employment in private and government sectors, access information, recognize American Sign Language, be treated equally, and preserve the right to determine their own destiny strengthened the cohesiveness of the Deaf community over the years. At the same time, the growing diversity within the Deaf community no longer provided consensus or universal views on issues related to educational placements and technological advancements such as cochlear implantation. It is too early to discuss these issues from a historical standpoint,…

Initially a Deaf child’s journey begins with family and starts at birth but it’s not till the deafness is detected that important decisions start to be made. Interactions with the child are important as are the ways the child is interacted with. Choices have to be made by the family that will result in how a child is educated and socialized. These most important family influences can greatly help in positive development of the child or the lack of it. Some decisions that have substantial impact are: How will the child be educated? The choice between institutional and hearing schools. Should we opt for cochlear implants? These are just a couple many important decisions and choices that are made by the parents or caregivers.…

history as it intersects the experiences of Deaf people. Education has been perhaps the issue in this story. "Through Deaf Eyes" traces the evolution of deaf education, from the founding of the first school for the deaf in 1817 to the 1864 chartering of Gallaudet University, in Washington, D.C., the only place that deaf people could earn a college degree in a signing environment, to the late-20th century "mainstreaming" movement.…

A deaf school is sometimes the only peer interaction the child will have and the only learning opportunity they will have also. The issue with deaf schools is the placement and availability of them. If a child lives in a different system, a system without a deaf school, sometimes the child will receive transportation offered by the deaf school but other times the child may be forced to move. If many deaf children are in an area without a school for them, then the state must make a decision to either accommodate those children, finding teachers, finding a building, and getting the support of the other civilians, or have them moved which is a huge inconvenience for the children’s families. This is a huge issue because of the number of people affected. This is not just emotional representation at stake but more lives and futures at stake instead. Again, you have already been made aware of this fact most likely, but the goal was to hopefully encourage you to help the students’ in need like you’ve helped so many other people in the deaf…
There are many causes of blindness and deafness. Many are present and occur around the time a child is born which includes prematurity, childbirth complication, and numerous congenital syndromes, most of which are quite rare. Deafness and blindness may also occur later in childhood or during adulthood due to causes such as meningitis, brain injury, or inherited conditions such as Usher Syndrome that causes hearing loss and progressive vision loss. Education is the most important treatment in helping the deaf and blind. Children who are deaf and blind require special teaching methods. These methods are taught in special education classrooms, separate schools, or residential facilities. Each state has federally funded technical assistance programs that provide training and support to families and educators with the assessment and education of infants, children, and youth who are deaf and blind.…
