Deaf and communication...

Communication is one of the most essential aspects of everyday life and it is also one that is taken for granted. Not being able to communicate properly is one of the obstacles that deaf people struggle to overcome even when they are surrounded by family and friends who love them. Not all people know sign language and speech can sometimes become an obstruction rather than a means to communicate. The following story is dedicated to deaf people of all ages and their families ---This is at the beginning of the video I typed it out due to some people having trouble reading the fine print.

If you have 10min to spare please view the video with your undivided attention, if you don’t have time please come back later to view :). I sign and have been known to tutor deaf students on occasions. I went to school for interpreting but due to me being a very shy person during that time of my life I did not finish, but I’m fluent in ASL.
