is important that teachers are already qualified as teachers of the deaf before they start working in the field of education of deaf children” (p. 82). This is because many factors in the educational system‚ like students ages‚ communication/ language styles and their school setting‚ can cause a teacher to play many roles (Easterbrooks‚ 2008). Some different areas a teacher can be knowledgeable about are the student’s family‚ Deaf culture‚ their language/communication‚ and learning styles/tools. Easterbrooks

Allison Escobar ASLII Deaf experience paper On Wednesday October 24‚ I had the opportunity to have my first deaf experience with deaf children. Thanks to my ASL teacher name‚ I had the opportunity to visit the Elementary school speech therapist.

Talking to the deaf kids in their own

interesting. I personally have a deaf niece she has a cochlear implant. She was lucky enough to have it done early in life around two years of age‚ and she is doing very well. It’s very enlightening to hear how the deaf community in these videos view the cochlear. Me being a hearing person I would see the cochlear as a blessing like Peter’s brother and wife‚ but to Heather’s parents it was seen a threat. I can understand why. Naturally change is unwanted by many people.The deaf culture is all they know they

This past Sunday morning I drove down into Table Rock‚ S.C. state park. There I joined several other deaf persons who had spent the weekend at the park.

to think of advantages of being deaf and blind when you have had sight and sound your whole life. However‚ when you stop and think‚ you realize that there are actually quite a few. If you are deaf and blind you will have a heightened sense of your other senses‚ such as smell‚ taste and touch. That part of your brain has to work harder and is therefore stronger than other people with all of the senses. Telemarketers tend not to call if they know the person is deaf or hard of hearing.

Deaf Day… Walking around basically hearing impaired for a day was interesting. I personally loved it a lot! Being a quiet student comes in handy for me with this project. Teachers didn’t call on me or expect me to talk. I had to have a friend of mine talk to the teachers for me if it was important. My friends didn’t like that I wasn’t able to talk and made sure to speak up and enunciate their words when talking to me. Sometimes I wished that I had someone who knew how to sign so I could practice
