Every year on 3rd March 2021, World Hearing Day (WHD) is celebrated. The theme for WHD 2021 is "Hearing Care for All!". On this day, the World Federation of the Deaf says "Let's Remember to Sign!" because national sign languages are important for everyone!

The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) advocates for the early acquisition of sign language(s) by all deaf children and strongly recommends that all deaf children and their families receive sign language(s) early intervention services as soon as possible after birth.[1] Young deaf children who are not exposed to natural sign languages at home and in early education are at risk of facing language deprivation, which is the lack of access to a natural language during the early years of development.[2] Language deprivation has lifelong effects on deaf children's language, health, and educational outcomes, including cognitive and socio-emotional development. The WFD strongly emphasizes the importance of natural language access to promote language development.

Article 25 of the UN CRPD calls on governments to provide early identification and intervention, as well as services designed to minimise and prevent further disabilities, including language deprivation. To provide high-quality sign language early intervention services to deaf children and their families, it is essential that medical professionals collaborate with deaf professionals, community members, sign language teachers, and deaf advocacy organisations.[3]

Governments must also not restrict sign language services to deaf children with cochlear implants but support the provision of sign language services to all deaf children with and without hearing technology.

High-quality sign language early intervention services for deaf children and their families may include deaf mentor home visiting services, parent sign language classes, sign language playgroups, and bilingual early childhood education and care programs with educators, including deaf educators, who possess native-like sign language proficiency. Early intervention ensuring access to sign language is crucial to prevent language deprivation.

[1] WFD Position Paper on the Language Rights of Deaf Children.

Deaf people's need for sign language learning and socio-emotional fulfillment, including cultural and identity development, are supported by participation in deaf communities. Deaf communities enable social relationships that are supportive of a positive deaf identity. Deaf communities, led by National Associations of the Deaf, are cultural and linguistic entities that often share collective rights and goals, instead of only focusing on individual rights and experiences. A capability approach, seeing human differences as fundamental to achieve equality, underpins the participation of deaf children and youth in their many communities, including deaf communities.[1] Knowledge empowers deaf people and allows them to be agents of their own change. The collaboration of National Associations of the Deaf with various stakeholders is crucial to build sustainable partnerships for the realisation of the human rights of deaf people.[2] Projects addressing the needs of deaf communities should therefore be conducted in interaction and collaboration with National Associations of the Deaf. As per Article 4.3 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, representative deaf associations must be consulted in the formation of policies impacting deaf people. The principle of "Nothing About Us Without Us" is about inclusion and decision-making that leads to higher quality outcomes. When deaf communities are empowered to implement programs and policies for deaf people and sign languages, these policies will best support the flourishing of individual deaf children.[3]

There have been records of Deaf people using visual languages since antiquity and sign languages continue to be central to the lives of deaf people all over the world today. Sign languages are natural languages with the same linguistic properties as spoken languages, they have their own grammars and lexicons, and are not the mere representation of am encoded spoken language on the hands.

Yet only 58 countries have accorded their sign language(s) to have an equal status to that of their national spoken languages. The linguistic recognition of sign languages recognition has been part of the core work of National Associations of the Deaf around the world who continue to strive toward the legislative recognition of sign language(s) in their countries. In many countries, however, the rights of deaf people are also assured through disability policy legislation and international instruments. These linguistic rights are important for deaf people and should not only be granted within those disability paradigms: Deaf Communities need full linguistic rights and not to be solely acknowledged as a part of a disability construct.[1]

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) contains provisions recognising the Deaf Community as having cultural and linguistic rights. When achieved, these rights will reduce barriers to the inclusion of deaf people in society in a variety of settings (including education, cultural activities, political participation and more), alongside the reduction of many other barriers faced by people with a wide range of disabilities.[2],[3]

Access to information in the national sign language is vital for sign language users. Deaf sign language users have the right to access information and interactions through professionally qualified sign language interpreters and translators.[4] Although automatic computer translations of sign languages can possibly support human translation in the future, it does not serve as an alternative for a qualified human interpreter or translator. The provision and development of sign language interpreting and translation services should be done in close consultation with National Associations of the Deaf and national professional interpreting associations.

[4] WFD Position Paper on Accessibility: Sign Language Interpreting and translation and technological developments.

The World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) strongly advocates for family support and access to sign languages. Since deaf children's sign language acquisition should begin as soon as possible after birth, families must be included in early intervention and specialised parent sign language classes.[1],[2] Article 23 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) states that parents of disabled children must be provided, free of charge, with assistance and services to ensure children reach their fullest individual, social, and cultural development. In cooperation with deaf communities and deaf sign language teachers, governments must implement free programs for parents and family members of deaf children to learn the national sign language and participate in deaf communities.[3] In addition, governments must ensure families with deaf children receive accurate information about the health and educational benefits of sign languages, including information that shows the positive impact of national sign languages on spoken language development and the utilisation of hearing technology.[4] Research shows that deaf children, including deaf children with hearing parents who learn a national sign language as a second or additional language, have optimal language development when sign language learning begins in infancy.[5] Moreover, a family's learning of sign language supports elaborated communication with deaf children and deaf children's social and emotional development. Developing a family language plan can help families and service providers in supporting deaf children's bilingual development in sign languages and spoken/written languages.[6]

The need for ASL Language Interpretation
Many deaf people rely on sign language as their primary mode of communication. Just like English, sign language has many forms and dialects, depending on a person's background, education, geography, and the age at which they became deaf. However, significant differences in the grammatical structure of the two languages often create communication gaps.

Sign Language interpreters bridge the communication barrier between hearing and deaf persons by conveying the purpose, thought, and spirit of the message in a consumers' preferred mode of communication from oral transliterating to American Sign Language. Additionally, the interpreter maintains strict confidentiality and complies with the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct. Interpreters work in many settings: Legal, Business, Training, Meetings, Mental Health, Medical, Interviews, Educational, and Social.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), gives persons who are deaf or hard of hearing the right to accessible communication. In many situations, this calls for qualified interpreters to facilitate interactions between persons with a hearing loss and hearing persons. The ADA mandates that public or private entities are responsible for providing this accessibility. [Visit the ADA website]
Scheduling an ASL Interpreter through HDS
Interpreters are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

reason or purpose for this assignment

on-site contact name and phone number

A Fillable Request Form for desktop use can be downloaded
and used to schedule an ASL interpreter.

Please contact HDS Interpreting Department to request an ASL Interpreter Price List.
Guidelines for using the services of an Interpreter

Speak in a natural tone of voice and a normal rate of speed.

Speak directly to the client, not to the interpreter.

Information will be treated as confidential.

ASL 1, ASL II, ASL III, ASL IV, ASL III/IV Dual Credit
Teacher: Mr. Kitterman, tkitte@neisd.net

Welcome to ASL! I am looking forward to working with you this year.
TUTORING
8:10 - 8:40am Monday - Friday (except Wednesdays) Room A300
GRADING
TARGET LANGUAGE COMMUNICATION AND DAILY WORK 25%

Use of the target language is essential in developing ASL skills and will be graded accordingly. Each student is expected to be fully engaged in the daily warm up and class activities. Students will be graded regularly on their use and performance in the target language. Taking advantage of class time is a good way to insure you are keeping up with the class and learning what you need to learn to succeed in class.

EXPRESSIVE PRESENTATIONS 25%

Students will be expected to present (sign in ASL) about various rehearsed and unrehearsed topics, based on what they learn.

INTERPERSONAL EXPRESSIVES 25%

Students will be asked to sign with other students or the teacher, both rehearsed and unrehearsed dialogues, situations, conversations, etc. to demonstrate expressive and receptive ASL skills.

TESTS & QUIZZES 25%

Students are expected to keep up with the content learned and will be quizzed and tested on the material covered in class. Practicing in class, studying handouts and notes and practicing outside of class are the best ways to ensure the highest success on these assessments. Tests and quizzes will consist of signing, seeing/ translating things signed and cultural information learned in class.
TEXTBOOKS
Since the World Language Department at NEISD is focussing on proficiency now, there is less emphasis on having a textbook for each student. We will use textbooks as resources, but students will not be given books to take home. The following books are some of the main resources we will use:

ASL 1 Master ASL

ASL 2 Signing Naturally 1, ASL The Easy Way, A Basic Course in American Sign Language

ASL 3-4 Signing Naturally II & III, A Basic Course in American Sign Language

Class sets may be used from time to time. Please do not take these books out of the room. There are many excellent resources now available online, at the library and bookstore. These are not required, but can be useful.

Useful Online ASL Dictionaries: (note: all signs you look up will not always be the same ones we learn and use in class. Signs can vary depending on a variety of factors, so try to learn what's most commonly used.)

lifeprint.com aslpro.com handspeak.com signingsavvy.com
WHAT ALL STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW
is considered rude in this ASL classroom unless you and or the class are given permission. (Emergencies are the exception). Please do not talk and sign at the same time (There are reasons for not doing this now).

How can you communicate if you don't know how to sign something? Do what other hearing people have to do, write, gesture/act out, use an interpreter.

Not paying attention to other signers is also considered rude behavior. An important part of this class is simply paying attention to what the teacher and other students are signing. That will speed up your growth.

Flashing lights - Everyone should stop what they are doing and pay attention up front.
CLASS RULES
1. The best way to learn ASL is by using it. By establishing a no voice environment, all students will have the best opportunity to learn and improve their skills. While there may be times the teacher will use voice to explain information, it is not uncommon for the teacher not to use voice at any level. Also, All students need to follow this rule since it only takes a small number of students voicing to disrupt the atmosphere. While this may seem difficult in the beginning, please be patient and stick with it, you will become more comfortable and I don't expect you to understand everything all at once.

Sign Language Careers - Jobs Working With The Deaf

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
According to the Hearing Health Foundation (HHF), one in five Americans have hearing loss in at least one ear and three out of every 1000 children are born deaf or hard of hearing. Looking at these staggering statistics, it's obvious why people with the skills to work with the deaf community are increasingly in demand.

Careers Working With Deaf People

An individual who'd like to work with deaf people has plenty of opportunities to choose from. People who work with the deaf community work in a wide variety of environments. Depending on the type of work a person chooses, he or she may even travel around to various locales to work with the deaf. The following are a few examples of careers for people who would like to use their talents to serve deaf people.

A teacher in the field of deaf education is one of the most rewarding career options for someone interested in working with the deaf. Teachers of the deaf work in institutions for deaf education as well as in public schools that offer classes for the deaf. Furthermore, a teacher of the deaf may use his or her education and skills to instruct young students as well as adults. Guiding deaf students in learning various academic subjects and effective communication skills are just two of the responsibilities of a teacher of the deaf. A person who'd like to become an instructor of people with deafness needs to earn both a Bachelors and a Master's degree in deaf education. He or she should also take courses that enlighten them on the elements of deaf culture.

Another option for someone who wants to work with the deaf community is work as an interpreter. Interpreters are needed in many places where deaf people go. They work in hospitals, schools, churches, businesses, and government agencies. One qualified interpreter may be employed full-time by a hospital to interpret for deaf people who have appointments or other business there. Another interpreter may work as a freelancer and go wherever his or her skills are needed. In order to be successful, an interpreter must have a thorough knowledge of American Sign Language, graduate from interpreter training courses, and earn certification. Many interpreters for the deaf have college degrees. Part of an interpreter's training must include garnering knowledge of deaf culture to have a degree of understanding of those he or she is serving. An interpreter for the deaf must be dedicated to his or her work of communicating the words of deaf people in an accurate manner.

A specially trained counselor can work in a career that serves the needs of the deaf community. Furthermore, there are a variety of counseling areas to choose from. For instance, a person can become a vocational counselor for people with deafness. He or she would be charged with helping the person figure out what types of careers to investigate. The counselor would then help the person evaluate some possible companies and employers. Alternatively, a counselor who works for an institution of deaf education would counsel the students who resided at the school. In addition, to giving students with deafness guidance, the student residence counselor would help with various student activities. Depending on the type of counseling a person is interested in, a Bachelor's degree will likely be a requirement. An understanding of deaf culture would also help the counselor to better empathize with deaf students.

​ There are many wonderful sign vocabulary resources available online and ASLCORE is happy to contribute in a unique way!

The suggested signs you see in each ASLCORE branch are developed according to ASL linguistic principles by fluent Deaf ASL signers. Our goal is to provide descriptive signs which may serve to complement other initialized or English-influenced sign choices. These signs are presented for your consideration, modification, and adoption if they function well in your work as students, professionals, teachers, or interpreters!

ASLCORE is a Deaf-centric project which honors and celebrates Deaf culture and American Sign Language.

Our primary value is that all ASLCORE sign creations be generated by Deaf users of ASL.​

The content experts must be Deaf. They need not have ASL as their L1, however they must be fluent enough in sign to be able to communicate their content clearly and accurately to the translation team, and also understand the translation team questions/comments/discussion without an interpreter.

The translators must be "sign masters" who possess native fluency in ASL.

Each sign must be agreed upon by the team by consensus, however if an impasse does arise, there can be two versions of the sign if everyone agrees.

The translation work and continual development of the website is sponsored by The National Technical Institute for the Deaf, one of nine colleges at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The ASLCORE project is managed and administered by Sarah Cannon, Miriam Lerner, and Sarah Schneckenburger, staff interpreters with the Department of Access Services at RIT/NTID.

We would like to express our gratitude to the many people and departments who have helped make this resource possible!

Gerry Buckley, President of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf and Vice President and Dean of Rochester Institute of Technology, awarded Professional Development funds to Sarah Cannon, Miriam Lerner, and Sarah Schneckenburger. Without this money the project would not exist. We are indebted to Dr. Buckley for his constant support as this website expands!

Rico Peterson, Assistant Dean and Director of the Department of Access Services at RIT/NTID has provided advice, encouragement, and - most importantly - the aide and services of Administrative Assistant Bridget Budwey.

Sarah Cannon, Miriam Lerner, and Sarah Schneckenburger are staff interpreters on the Liberal Arts Core Team at RIT/NTID, and our manager Chris Felo and scheduler Colleen Freeman provided flexibility in schedules for our translation "boot camps" to be our priority.

We would like to express our thanks to Billie Rideout, a former staff interpreter in the Department of Access Services who was part of the initial efforts which eventually evolved into ASLCORE.

Mui Jade created our beautiful logo, and we are so fortunate to have her design representing our work!

We are indebted to Kai Pepler for recording and editing our video content, as well as for creating this website!

Our heartfelt thanks to you all!

You can learn Sign Language (ASL) at "American Sign Language University" which is an online curriculum resource for students, instructors, interpreters, and parents of deaf children. ASL U is located at Lifeprint.com. It is much more than just an online sign language dictionary. You can find lesson plans and teaching tips. For a fingerspelling chart, visit: Lifeprint's sign language alphabet area where you can find some excellent signing-related graphics.

What is ASL (American Sign Language)?

Defining ASL: A popular definition is: "American Sign Language is a visual-gestural language used by 500,000 members of the North American Deaf community." According to dictionary.com we have: American Sign Language n. Abbr. ASL. The primary sign language used by Deaf and hearing-impaired people in the United States and Canada, devised in part by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet on the basis of sign language in France. Also called Ameslan.

If you look at Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (www.m-w.com) we get: Main Entry: American Sign Language: Function: noun. Date: 1960: a sign language for the deaf in which meaning is conveyed by a system of articulated hand gestures and their placement relative to the upper body. Notice the date of that entry from Merriam-Webster? 1960! Signing hasn't been "recognized" as a language for very long has it? Oh sure, ASL has been developing and in use since the early 1800's but it wasn't until 1960 that "experts" started recognizing it as a full-blown autonomous language.

This sign language website is intended to be a free place to learn signing.

The main topics for this site are: sign language classes, history of American Sign Language, ASL phrases, American Sign Language letters (fingerspelling), American sign language for babies (baby signing), and a sign language chart. ASLU is an online curriculum resource for ASL students, instructors, interpreters, and parents of deaf children. I'm a Deaf (Hard of Hearing) Associate Professor of Deaf Studies at a large state university in California who prefers to communicate in ASL (American sign Language). I put together this site to provide a place to discuss American Sign Language (ASL), interpreters, deafness, and signing. Note: Interpreting is a broad field that involves more than just "signing and body language." I also take a look at how ASL qualifies as a foreign language.

When I'm around "Hearing people" I tend to use a hearing aid. If I'm in a meeting I will either use an interpreter or, depending on how close I am to the speaker and how quiet the room is I'll lip-read and use my hearing-aid. My wife and I have had four babies and we taught them all to sign ASL (not just baby signs).

I also write a bit about Deaf education and baby sign / baby talk using sign language. "Baby signing" (for children of Hearing parents) is sort of new to Deaf culture. Deaf children have, of course, used sign language but it is (was) new for Hearing children. One of your our kids is "Deaf/hard of hearing" and attended the Utah School for the Deaf pre-school program.

ASL

Remember, ASL is so much more than just "Deaf communication" -- it is truly becoming a world language. In this website I also talk about Deaf services agencies, some of which provide "Interpreters for the Deaf."

I don't discuss BSL much. (British Sign Language) The fingerspelling is different (two-handed manual alphabet) and not used by the American Deaf Community.

It seems so many people these days want to learn sign. However, I notice many bloggers (and my students in their research papers) don't even know how to spell it. This is a personal pet peeve of mine. All of the following are WRONG: sign langage, american signs language, american sign languages, american sign langage, signs languages, etc. And don't get me started on what they call fingerspelling (e.g. lettering alphabets). Plus there are the weird old names for ASL that never caught on, like "Amslan." One time I saw someone calling it auslan but I reckon that would be Australian Sign Language (ha).

I've also set up an area of this site that deals with ASL Linguistics (linguistic signs/linguistic sign). Use the links to jump around and check out the site.

We should say "at least" 500,000 people use ASL. That is an OLD statistic from the 1980's. My estimate is more along the lines of: 2 million people are using ASL on a daily basis and at least 500,000 of those people are using it as their primary means of communication. Millions more people know "some" sign language and use it "once in a while." For example -- a grandmother of a deaf child. She may have taken a six-week community education course and now she knows just enough to offer her grandson candy and cookies.

American Sign Language

"ASL is a visual gestural language." That means it is a language that is expressed through the hands and face and is perceived through the eyes. It isn't just waving your hands in the air. If you furrow your eyebrows, tilt your head, glance in a certain direction, twist your body a certain way, puff your cheek, or any number of other "inflections" --you are adding or changing meaning in ASL. A "visual gestural" language carries just as much information as an oral/aural (mouth/ear) language.

Is ASL limited to just the United States and Canada? No. ASL is also used in varying degrees in the Philippines, Ghana, Nigeria, Chad, Burkina Faso, Gabon, Zaire, Central African Republic, Cote d'Ivoire, Mauritania, Kenya, Madagascar, Benin, Togo, Zimbabwe, Singapore, Hong Kong. Is ASL a universal language? No. Those countries I just mentioned have their own signed languages. ASL is the dominant signed language in North America, plus it is used to some extent in quite a few other countries, but it is certainly not understood by Deaf people everywhere.

Did we get ASL from Native American sign language? Answer: No.

In March of 2005, ASLian Poetry & Storytelling Night began in New York City at the famed Bowery Poetry Club hosted by Bob Arnold. Jason Norman took over as host six months later, changing the name to ASL Slam and hosting a monthly event in an open mic format with the assistance of Douglas Ridloff, an emerging poet, artist, and performer. By 2009, Douglas became the sole host, reviving the monthly open stage format at Bowery Poetry Club with the addition of featured performances by renowned Deaf and DeafBlind artists from around the world.

In 2013, the slam moved to Pioneers Bar in midtown Manhattan and additional shows were held in Boston, Denver, Washington, DC., Chicago, and Orlando. During this time, ASL Slam kicked off its first tour; visiting Austin, Boston, Michigan, France, and many other locales. In 2016, the monthly shows moved to Nuyorican Poet's Cafe in Alphabet City and in 2022, the slam returned to the Bowery Poetry Club. NYC shows are now held monthly at both venues with new host Zavier Sabio.

The ASL Slam has become a cultural brand for the Deaf poetry movement, attracting performers and audience members from all around the world. In 2019, ASL Slam incorporated into a 501(c)3 non-profit organization led by Douglas Ridloff and a board of directors. Today, the slam is primarily operated through venue shows in NYC and Orlando, museum events, corporate events, and educational collaborations.

​

The mission of the ASL Slam is to showcase and promote American Sign Language and the Deaf/signing community through performance media; offering a stage to community members to share and create traditional, contemporary and experimental sign language literature.
