I am not sure if many of you out there are hearing that more people are learning the sign language for the deaf.
They want to get involved and be part of the community.
I have the chart in my office and every day I try to learn as much as possible.
Not I am not perfect and probably will never be.
I take about five or ten minutes to learn this.
Able to say hello,Hi etc.For me I find this hard to learn as I feel my fingers are so butterfingers in doing son.
Just like learning your ABC when starting school.
Most hearing impaired will not take the time or try to learn this.
I only know one person who is deaf and do say hello or hi.
This person will give me a big smile.Make me feel good and I do want to get involve if I can.
Lot of the hearing people get annoy with impaired and deaf people.
Because they do not take the time in signing or speak slowly,
Ah!slowly they talk so fast and cannot make out what they saying.
When I asked to repeat and slowly,well I get sort of a evil eye.
Why is this? because they do not want to do it.
If I have a hard time hearing some people I let them know it.
A lot of voices are different.
You have an hearing aid and they holler at you.
This upset me and tell them that you do not holler or try to speak in my hearing aid.
How stupid is this?Dale of panthurdreams knows a lot about this and knowing what I am talking about.
Do you get upset by this?well you do not have to if you comply by the rules.
Take the time to speak slowly to your loved one or try to learn to sign.
This is a great tool.
Hope that Dale sees this and maybe put a light on this.
Oh!make sure you give them eye contact.Not looking down or up etc.
