Emergency Signs. ASL.

[@SARAHCAWTHON-e8g]

I am a 911 dispatcher in Texas. We have a large deaf community and nobody at our PD signs. I have taken this on myself to have someone there for them when they come to make a police report. Mainly the issue has been domestic violence or burglary. Those signs would help me as I cannot find them online. THank you!!!

[@signlanguagepractice]

Would the PD benefit from some training?

[@francespicciallo9690]

Great video! I think EVERYONE should know sign language! It should be taught starting in pre school!!!

[@signlanguagepractice]

Lots of benefits to learning sign for people of all ages.

[@flowchartboy]

I love this video. I am a paramedic in a remote posting in British Columbia. We have an app on our duty cell phone that can connect us with live interpreters but in the region we operate out of there isn't always reliable cell service. My goal is to learn enough to understand and be understood so that I can provide a reasonable stop gap between when we don't have cell service to when we do. I look forward to more videos from you as I found this one easy to follow and clearly presented. Great job!

[@signlanguagepractice]

How does this one work for you? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqnRh62Gq7h5Zrs

I’m an x-ray tech student and this is so helpful! Took sign language back in high school and have been wanting to really learn and get good. I came across my first deaf patient yesterday and was able to sign a few things. This led me to finding you and your videos. Again, this was so helpful and would love to see a part 2 for medical terms and phrases. Thank you!

[@signlanguagepractice]

Sorry I'm late on getting this to you. Will be live in two hours. Thank you for your request. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnfTmopqrJeqibM

I just got hired at Disneyland and I want to be able to help anyone/everyone, Esp if they are in trouble or for example a deaf child lost from their family. This was a great start, thank you for the video!

[@signlanguagepractice]

Congrats. As a cast member, you may have a chance to help them be safe as well as DREAM. Good luck.

[@Dreamtheory618]

@@signlanguagepractice Thanks so much! I hope I can make a positive difference and experience. When that day comes with ASL, I will be sure to let you know, because you're videos have already set the stage for me. I watched a bunch of them already, and will continue to watch more. So thank you again

[@samcroll6141]

I work in vet emergency! I took basic sign language in college but am now trying to learn medical signs to better assist my clients. I really appreciate this video!

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thanks. Great idea for a new video!

[@SamAndMejia]

Well, thank you so much for this video, I just subscribed to your channel. I am a first aid trainer and I was doing some training today and I had one guy that is deaf and mute, I was checking as many videos I could get and I did my best to provide my training in English, Spanish and ASL, this guy came to me at the end and sincerely thank me for the great effort I made to communicate and making sure he was safe at work. In some point of the class, the rest of the audience was enjoying the ASL part and they were asking questions trying to use some of the signs we used. I am not literate on ASL, but today I got one of those private humble moment of satisfaction knowing I helped some one. I will make my goal to learn to the point I can have a conversation, because of his reaction I kind of felt the frustration for not been able to communicate with the world. It is an amazing feeling when you can help someone to feel good.

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thank you so much for sharing that. Congrats on being a great human being...communicating in multiple ways.

[@TbrighteyesMsSmith]

Thank you very much, this is very imperative. Urgent information.

[@signlanguagepractice]

Appreciate you taking the time to watch

[@tinamoore338]

Thank you for this its so good to know and your good at teaching i like your style ,love watching you.

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thanks!

[@Sonicxis4ever]

Hey man thank you so much for this video! I just started interpreting for physical therapy. It’s usually for people who were involved in car 🚗 or motorcycle 🏍️ accidents and I’ve been learning a lot of medical and health signs. Sometimes the doctor asks if the patient has had any past surgeries. If they take medication If they go to therapy They also say things like “look to the left/right/up/down”

[@signlanguagepractice]

Do you know those signs?

[@Sonicxis4ever]

@@signlanguagepractice I know the sign to take medicine but I guess I’d like to see more physical therapy scenarios In ASL! For phrases like “look left/right” I’m not sure I’m signing it correctly but deaf people understand me

[@griz1060]

Hi I enjoyed watching this very informative video. I’m a Red Cross volunteer and help those impacted by disasters such as home fires or mud slides. I’m currently taking ASL for emergency management but I learned more in this short video than the last seven weeks taking the course. I’d like to learn more disaster related signs please

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thank you for being willing to serve

[@Dabosfotos]

Love this video!! Thank you for making it!! I work in private security and occasionally found myself trying to communicate with deaf or hard of hearing people. No one else in my company can communicate in ASL, so I took it upon myself to learn some signs to communicate with the deaf community if they were to need our help.

[@signlanguagepractice]

Props to you! Really appreciate people taking the extra time to learn how to communicate

[@haroldmc7976]

I am getting back into the law enforcement area of corrections. Especially in the area of probation officer. Also it would be appreciated when you sign to have words in the screen as you sign to follow along with. Thanks

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thanks for watching and the suggestion

[@ClaireFloria-z7m]

I work in a community college safety and security department. We are responsible for emergency preparedness and training. Hot topic right now is active shooter. It would greatly help us to be able to communicate the basic active shooter training to our deaf and hard of hearing community. Thank you.

[@signlanguagepractice]

Wow…great point. Let me think through what signs and situations you may face. Thank you so much for asking

[@christopherpothemont1483]

A friend of mine is out of practice and is going expecting some deaf friends at a wedding and would like some conversational signs for the occasion

[@signlanguagepractice]

Ok...you've got it. Just published a video with wedding signs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5CYmYd3br2imM0

[@ernestoojeda6600]

to interview someone that is having problems heart attack, diabetes, stroke etc the questions that need to be asked in those situation. Each has specific questions to get optimum results . You need history of previous episodes and outcomes. Thank you

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thank you. Excellent recommendation.

[@Barbara-mn6jr]

Thakns! for share you konowlege, I really apreciate. I am trying to aply to firefigter department, and I need a plus like this!

[@signlanguagepractice]

Best of luck on the application!

[@Barbara-mn6jr]

@@signlanguagepractice Thank You!!

[@jamesmiller2907]

Thank you

[@signlanguagepractice]

Appreciate you watching

[@pandabytes4991]

Using ASL to say you will make a phone call for emergency services can make perfect sense. If you yourself can speak, and you are telling a deaf person that you will call for help, there is no reason why you can't make a phone call and as such, using that sign can make sense.

[@typicallyteamtyler]

Signs for a bartender like if someone is getting harassed

[@elliotfrederick5887]

I am left handed. For the police sign, would I still put it on the left side of my chest, or would I go across the body like you did?

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thanks for the question...you would still cross over. Use the badge sign over your right chest.

[@grandmascorner3254]

how would you ask a woman in labor about time between pains?

[@signlanguagepractice]

Just put up this video...hope it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2Sag4aPaNJ2raM

[@kirstenmerker3010]

how to sign for lifeguard and swim instructors?

[@signlanguagepractice]

For lifeguard, sign "swim" and "protect" or "swim" and "save". "Swim" "Teacher" for the other one.

[@shizukesakawakami2929]

I am epileptic. Can you please help with some signs. I slowly lost my hearing and desperately need to learn ASL

[@signlanguagepractice]

Any signs in particular? Lots of channels can provide help.

[@SivaSubrahmanyamkv]

🙂

[@signlanguagepractice]

Thanks

[@soda_fairy]

That’s unfortunately pretty funny the sign for pain cause me pain in my wrist

[@signlanguagepractice]

Don’t twist so hard. Thanks for watching

[@charleshendricks3627]

Are deaf people able to read lips?

[@signlanguagepractice]

Good question. Lip reading is like any human acquired skill. The ability to lip read is different for everyone. Add in factors like facial hair, accent, looking right at you, background noise, familiarity with the vocabulary...by itself lip reading is not 100% effective. I have family members who are pretty good and others who cannot lip read at all.
