Hearie's Complaint:"Why Do We Have To Hire An Interpreter?"
Deaf120DB I've been reading various blogs/vlogs about sign language interpreters in various situations. Our main complaint is that it is difficult to get people especially doctors to hire an interpreter simply because they balk at the cost of hiring one. I am not sure how we can solve this problem, however it greatly concerns me because  we need interpreters for full [...]

BabySigns — Accessible to Hearing Parents of Deaf...
Deaf120DB Now I am back to blogging after a long hiatus. But I do comment often on various blogs/vlogs. It has been an interesting spring for DeafRead with a lot of topics!  Anyway, while surfing through the internet, a website  [link] caught my eye.

AGB Had A Deaf Grandmother! Father and Son Alike!
Deaf120DB  A commentor, John Egbert encouraged me to gather more detailed information about AGB, I decided that I would research more into AGB and to dig up more information about him.

Alexander Graham Bell - A Friend or A Foe??
Deaf120DB  I have been reading various blogs/vlogs regarding about AGB. In hearing society, AGB is regarded as a hero as he invented the "telephone", even though he may have stolen the idea from an Italian inventor, that is another story that I will not get into. But when it comes to the deaf community, Alexander is considered as an enemy. Why? Let me illustrate [...]

Deaf120DB  The Producers for "Through Deaf Eyes"  Several of you have mentioned about who was behind in making "Through Deaf Eyes" so I decided that I would research on this.

Translating from ASL to English?
Deaf120DB Upon reading other bloggers/vloggers about translation and letting one particular blogger try out his hand at translating other vloggers. I found this discussion fascinating and captivating. I think we should give it a try and see how it goes. So I am being more conscious and seeing if I can translate other vloggers's ASL into [...]

To Deaf people: Do your family members know how to sign...
Deaf120DB Hi, I see that some of you bloggers are trying to reach out to hearing parents of deaf children. One common thread I see among hearing parents is that they have a desire to communicate with their deaf child. I wonder if most of us have parents who can sign in ASL. It may be too [...]

Our Hearing Kids Interpreters???
Deaf120DB One of the most hot issues among deaf parents is about kids “interpreting” and there are many views on it. Some parents think it is okay and others do not. It is a very sticky situation because we have heard some CODA (children of deaf adults who are over 18 years old) saying that they [...]

Kids of Deaf Adults and ASL
Deaf120DB Hi, I am Michele, I am a Deaf mom raising two hearing children. It is a whole different ballpark for deaf parents to raise hearing children versus deaf children. I am seeing different blogs/vlogs on discussion about ASL and in a way, I wish I took some linquistic classes in ASL as I find it [...]

ASL ? Why is it so hard for some people to learn?
Deaf120DB I am new to this blogging world and excited to give this a try. I would like to discuss about ASL and vlogging with captioning as I find this issue worthy of discussion. I am also working with a deaf child who comes from a Spanish-speaking home and we are working with him in learning ASL. Believe me, it is not [...]
