How Deaf Students Adapted to School During COVID

[@onebraincellleft2563]

I feel like ASL should be taught in elementary school. Then hearing and non-hearing kids can socialize

[@AmaniLindsey]

I agree!

[@clecant]

yea just like first-aid as well

[@king0fskill57]

i learned 2 years of ASL freshman year and sophomore year of high school, going to be a senior next year. ASL you forget it quickly however I knew somewhat of what they were saying

[@katie-st8nx]

How many kids can speak spanish even though it's taught in schools? People only learn languages they use.

[@onebraincellleft2563]

@@katie-st8nx that’s true. But it’s useful if you work a customer service job. Especially since they can’t read lips with masks on

[@rashinko]

Damn I didn't even think about this, it's great to see that things are turning for the better in the deaf community

[@marialindell9874]

Wait till you remember that a deaf customer can often be turned down at a McDonald's and 99% of restaurants and puplic establisments (and even some official/government run places) don't have, staff, signage or measures to assure that deaf and blind customers are welcome or can even do business there. My mom is basically all blind and her hearing loss is bad even with aids. I have been forced to be her personal assistant since I could walk and know about her conditions more than my father does -which should be very appaling. I personally don't know much FSL, because I chose not to learn and this has worked for us 15+ years. Never once have we been to a restaurant or bookstore that had been made atleast accessible for disabled people. When we get fast food, I need to sometimes repeat what the staff said because they simply are never trained for deaf or blind people. Most people usually think of when making their business "accessible" for disabled people is just wheelchair users. Personally I will actually try and get that braille menu, invest in staff training for different disabilities (blindness, deafness, wheelchair whatever it takes) and will actually try make the layout one that will work for _everyone_ . It's crazy how most of my classes at this moment would never be equipped enough for someone that is blind or deaf. I mean I have given feedback to several of my teachers and they all agree. I also have had to explain multiple times that my mom can't sit at the top of the auditorium, she needs to be at the front and that she has to actually stragetise where she sits so she can still hear. The normal John Smith will never think of these things. When they do get a small snippet into the life of a disabled family, they get schocked to their bones. At the end of the week that John Smith has forgotted about it all.

[@livtube6145]

I am deaf and in college.The collage wear special face mask so we can see their lips or they take they mask off for a bit so we can understand them.All the teachers I have do this but one.The English teacher does not take her mask off so we can't really understand her nor does she wear a special face mask so we can see her lips. I have told her that I am deaf and wear hearing aids but she only take her mask off if I really don't understand something and nothing else.

[@aliyahreid41]

That must be really frustrating, you should send that teacher this video

[@DeafDemoBA]

Wow! Very grateful for this. In all honesty, lip reading is insanely hard with face masks being prevalent. I think I got serious anxiety because of that...

[@livtube6145]

You are not alone with that social anxiety about lip reading

[@samuelleumas9964]

Me too.... And I cannot afford a hearing aid yet, so I am afraid of all the social interactions outside, with people wearing masks. Why does it have to be a stress to talk ) :

[@marialindell9874]

Lipreading also isn't even considered a proper and effective enough to use as "communication".

[@punkgirlphoto]

As someone who is an ally in the Deaf community this was something I was curious with how the schools were doing when it came to teach their Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students. It is interesting to see how one of the state school's for the Deaf is handling with this situation. I know with the state school for Texas and for the school districts with a Deaf Ed. program they are now back in person and that I hope that the students are doing well going back to school inperson. But I do also hope that they allow the students to have the option to still be in remote learning.

[@stonetacular5651]

Man these kids...like this is all they know, this is their lives. Imagine being so young and having this happen to you (on top of having a disability). Ngl i thought it was cool to see the older kids too. I feel like they always wanna show you the little kids and that you never see kids who are like 16-19 yrs old.
