As for your comment on the blog about deafness and your experience at the local food store meeting the person who loads and unloads the cart; perhaps that person had a duel disability. It sounds like the two people you chatted with were not only deaf but mentally challenged too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting here. It is absolutely possible that the presumed deaf/mute man has a dual disability, but honestly I wouldn't assume this upfront.
ReplyDeleteIt is apparent that a portion of his face is disformed and I've wondered if maybe he doesn't have a normally functioning tongue, which would definitely affect his speech.
As for the other employee who told me the guy was deaf, well that man is the assistant manager of the store.
In response to the original post on Jim's blog, I support the learning of many methods of communication. Why should those deaf persons who are aided with technology not be encouraged to also sign? And why should only those individuals who are 'completely deaf' be the ones to communicate through ASL? I think these ideas are very narrow-minded and serve to isolate and limit communication.
