 Xpressive Handz My friend Annie posted this on her FaceBook page. I would love to have access to this information. If any of you can interpret this, or know someone who can, into ASL and caption this for the rest of us, please do so.

Xpressive Handz There have been some interesting discussions over the terminology between "hard of hearing" and "hearing impaired". It seems it has to be one or the other. In fact, I recently saw a survey on Facebook asking which term people like to use best.On one hand, we have the argument some prefer "hard of hearing" over "hearing impaired" because they feel that to use the word ...Thu, Feb 16 2012 Deaf Girls are Risky on Valentine's Day?

Xpressive Handz Deaftel could quite possibly revolutionize how the deaf, hard of hearing and the speech impaired make telephone calls in the very near future. The two best things about this app: private without a third party relaying what is being said, and no more disconnects. Finally, you can make calls without people and automated answering services hanging up on you!Read more her...Wed, Feb 08 2012 Penn-In-Hand from University of Pennsylvania (Sign for Sign)

Xpressive Handz I got a nice letter in the mail the other day. What is difficult is they want me to call to speak with someone on their staff. I wish it were so simple.I am able to use my own voice when I make phone calls because I became deaf late in life. The phone system I use when I call people is wonderful, however it isn't always easy to connect to someone with it.

Xpressive Handz The story below the video occurred last November, (2011) during Thanksgiving week. There is absolutely no need for this to happen to anyone. Future incidents like this can be avoided simply by educating our police departments as well as all those that serve with public duties. The simple solution is to have training at the academies and regularly on the job....Mon, Jan 30 2012 Hot Jumping Beans
Xpressive Handz This is FUNNY! I'm so glad this is captioned! These are not the actual lyrics, however, this just goes to show how difficult it is for a hard of hearing or a deaf person like me to read lips. This is worth sharing with people who don't understand the difficulty. It also shows how we can misread what is being said, and come up with a wildly inaccurate perception....Sat, Jan 28 2012 What is the sign for...
Xpressive Handz At the end of Kindergarten class today, one of students had her hand raised with a question. I couldn't catch what she was saying, so I turned to the teacher and told her I needed help hearing. She told me the student wanted to know the sign for next week.I showed them how to sign "next week".The teacher said, "No, she wants to know the sign for next week".I showed th...Fri, Jan 27 2012 "Don't Taser us... we're deaf" by Charlie Swinbourne
Xpressive Handz This was written and published by Mr. Swinbourne in November, but as he mentioned, since the Olympics are in the UK this year, it's worth spreading the word in the upcoming months to remind others that there will be deaf people in attendance, and to be mindful, especially those who work in security and crowd control. It is well worth your time to check out the stories...Thu, Jan 26 2012 I'm Deaf

Xpressive Handz My Fabulous Husband just posted this on his FB page. This is his heart today: Question is being deaf a disability?

Xpressive Handz I have watched a few of these videos now and again. I'm happy to see there are some captions on here. I was always disappointed that there were no captions available for hard of hearing just learning signs, or the "newly deaf" learning to sign. Some of us don't know anyone around us who use Sign Language, some are home bound, have no transportation, or not able to aff...Sun, Jan 15 2012 Free Your Mind

Xpressive Handz Rachel and Leah are going to Ghana. Take a few moments to hear what Leah has to say about her experience in Ghana.
