Hey everyone,

I am new here. I am Deafblind (have useable vision). I am fluent in ASL it was my first language as a child.  I went to college and completed an iTP program so I could understand the ins/outs of interpreting outside of being a client. I found it extremely useful. Unfortunately, due to COVID I have not been able to take my NIC written exam yet. I have been studying for the exam quite a bit. However, I feel the need to do something other than just that. I am offering teaching and tutoring if anyone needs/wants a tutor.

I am offering teaching and tutoring services for anyone who wants to learn.

I can teach:

ASL

Braille (visually, great for parents who want to learn alongside their kids)

Deafblind culture including haptics

I am willing to tutor:

ASL, braille, assistive tech, students in an ITP program who may need help with their coursework. (Understanding materials such as DCS process). I would be willing to give feedback on videos as people practice as well.

If there is something you need help with don’t be afraid to ask. I might be able to help. :)

All of this would be virtual, we would discuss the platform we want to use individually with each person, everyone has their preferences.

Some day. I hope to host workshops relating to Deafblind topics.

Since it would be virtual rates would vary based on the service and duration.

    • 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 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.
