Hello, my name is Marie. I have PsA (Psoriatic Arthritis) and am loosing my hearing. I am currently mostly deaf in my left ear but still have my right ear to hear from. I am learning ASl but don't have the money to get tutors or take an actual course so I am taking courses online. I don't have someone I can talk with in ASL so I am having a difficult time learning to read what others are saying when they are using ASL. I have begun to watch videos online and that's helping. I am very happily married and have 2 girls (both 16 but one is my sister and the other my daughter) and 1 boy (he is 9). I love my family and I work at Condom Sense Which is a sex shop and has a smoke and vape shop connected to it and I love my job.

Hi Marie! It’s great that you’re learning ASL and making progress with online resources. I can imagine how challenging it must be to not have someone to practice with, but it’s awesome that you're using videos to help you along. There are also some ASL communities online where people practice with each other via video chat, which might be helpful for you. If you're open to it, you could explore apps or forums that connect ASL learners. Keep going strong with your learning journey! Your job sounds interesting, too—seems like a fun place to work!

      Why am I learning ASL

      By MaxJohnson · Posted

      That’s a great reason to start learning ASL. Having a practice partner would definitely help, especially with getting more comfortable with reading signs and keeping up with a real conversation. It’s also nice that you want to learn because you’ve had situations where communication was difficult. Just keep practicing and don’t worry about being perfect at the beginning—everyone starts somewhere. spin mama

      You might see a familiar pattern and immediately think you know the answer. Your brain naturally wants to complete the word as quickly as possible. However, tha t first idea isn’t always  dordle correct.

      Security Communication with Deaf Visitors

      By tanneredward315 · Posted

      Security staff should be prepared to communicate with deaf and hard of hearing visitors in a clear and respectful way. Simple gestures, written instructions, visual signs, and mobile phones can all help when spoken communication is not effective. Improve Event Safety At busy venues, communication becomes even more important. Teams providing Crowd Management Services should make sure safety instructions, evacuation routes, entry rules, and emergency information are accessible to everyone. Staff should know how to gain attention politely and avoid creating confusion during stressful situations. Train Security Teams Basic deaf awareness training can make a real difference. Security officers should remain patient, maintain eye contact, and use clear visual cues when needed. Build a More Inclusive Environment Good communication improves both safety and visitor experience. By planning for different communication needs, security teams can create safer, more welcoming environments for everyone.
