Why do you think Deaf people are so aware of hearing people, but the hearing community can scarcely communicate with them?
I'm taking a Survey of Deafness class as a part of my studies for interpreting. I find it a shame us hearing folk do so little for the Deaf community.
How long would I have to go to college for if I'm interested in American Sign Language interpretation?
I am interested in a career involving ASL, particularly being a translator or working in Deaf Education. How many years would I have to go to college? I researched it a bit and came up with about twelve years. This isn't an automatic deal breaker for me, but that is a very long time, and I want to consider it before applying to colleges. I am a high school junior by the way.
Is it possible for me to go to college to be a ASL translator if before college I only have very, very basic ASL knowledge ?
I have always been very interested in being an ASL translator. However, my family has been unable to afford programs to teach me. I have learned a little through online courses, but my knowledge is limited. And I am not even sure if what I do know is correct. I really want to enhance my signing abilities, but I will not be able to take a sign language course before college.

How can I be an SLP that incorporates ASL in my practice?
Hi there! I've studied ASL all through high school and college (I'm a senior in college now), originally double majoring in ASL and speech pathology - now just majoring in SLP and minoring in ASL. I desperately want to incorporate ASL into being an SLP, but I've had professors tell me it's impossible/too rare of a circumstance to make a career out of. My question(s): Is it really impossible? What can I do to be able to to both in the future? I've been told to just say that I'm "deaf friendly" to patients, but what area of SLP would that fall into? My original thought was to offer ASL or re-learning spoken speech to those who lose it from trauma, like severe Dysarthria, but that's where I was told it wasn't 'a thing'. Does anyone have any input or advice? Thanks! #ASL #SLP #american-sign-language #speech-language-pathology
Is it challenging to find a job in deaf education?
I am currently really interested in ASL studies and am looking into minoring in American-Sign Language in college along with a major in something in Health Science. I do not know much sign-language yet, but it's never too late to learn! I am just curious how hard it would be to find job opportunities if I really like the study and decide to focus my career on ASL. #college-major #education #college-minor #academic-advising #health-science #asl #deaf
