Hello! My name is Jessica, and I have been looking for a d/Deaf/ hard-of-hearing person with whom to conduct an interview for an ASL college assignment. I absolutely understand if you prefer not to participate, but it would help me very much! I am so glad to have found this place and hope to use it for further practice with ASL (I am very much a beginner haha). Thank you so much for your consideration!
The questions I will ask include as follows. I may want to ask more depending on certain answers or areas of uncertainty.
Introduce the person- ( where were they born, what is their family like, where did they grow up)
Explain how they became deaf. (If they were deafened as a child or born deaf.)
Explain what are their biggest challenges ( education, peers, bullying, jobs, communication)
What would they like other people to know about them
