Hi there!

My name is Kendall. I'm a student of speech, language, and hearing sciences who is minoring in ASL. I originally started school with the intent of becoming an ASL interpreter, but life got in the way and I moved far from any schools that have an interpreting program. Now I'm studying to be a speech-language pathologist, but I still love ASL and very much want to improve my signing (as well as learn as much about Deaf culture and history as I can!). I would be thrilled to find other students to video chat with, as I'm desperately in need of practice. I'm currently in intermediate-level classes.

Hi. My name is Tina. I am currently in the intermediate ASL classes and working my way up to become an interpreter. I would like to video chat. What is the best way, app, etc to video chat?

Oh I've never heard of that one! Do you have a preference? What's your Skype? I'll go ahead and add you. I'm going to bed now but will be back online in the morning! I'm excited to meet another student who wants to get some practice, it's hard to find study buddies.

    • 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.
