Hi, everyone.

I have been 'learning' sign language for years, mostly through books and rewinding when I see it on television. I used to work with the Sign Language Ministry at my church, but my current church doesn't offer the service. 

Now that we are on Lock-Down, I have been actively working on it again. I am Hearing, and I have no Deaf friends who I can practice with. I want to be able to communicate with others.

Hi! My name is Sarah, and I'm in a very similar position. I have an ASL practice test tomorrow, and i would love to sign with you for some practice! I've taken two levels of ASL and am hearing, just so you know.

Hi, Alex

I lost this page, then I had to recover my password.

 

I am sorry for taking so long to respond.

 

Yes, I am interested in getting some help. Thank you for the offer. I am on FB (Apryl Voner). It's usually the best way to reach me.

I am in the Eastern Time. I am available a couple of hours a day from 6 - 8.... I would love chats (multiple people?) of about 15 minutes each.

      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.
