Notes- 9/28

* ASL stands for American Sign Language * It is considered a language because it is not just a system of gestures, it has a specific set of grammar rules. * ASL is used in the United States and Canada. * Despite the fact that hearing people in the US and England both speak English, ASL is most closely related to French signing, not British signing.

* A person who is Deaf is unable to hear, but that does not mean they are unable to speak. * Their vocal chords still function, but most choose not to speak because they cannot hear themselves talking. * A person who is hard-of-hearing probably toes the line between both worlds: the hearing and the Deaf. * They may speak and sign, depending on the situation or environment they are in.

* The hearing refers to portion of society who can hear. * The sign refers to being able to speak, though, because the act of listening cannot be seen. * Hearing people can learn ASL, but are not native speakers unless they are CODA’s.

* CODA stands for “child of a deaf adult”. * Many CODA’s learn ASL before they learn English, making ASL their native language. * CODA’s often become interpreters or ASL teachers, because of their extensive knowledge of the language. * 90% of Deaf parents have hearing children

* The Deaf often like to say, “The Deaf can do anything a hearing person can do, except hear.” * This is different from a medical perspective, which sees Deaf people as hearing impaired, and therefore something that needs to be fixed. * *Arlington-Martin video eos/ /?pnref=story eos/ /?pnref=story
