American Sign Language essentially benefits families with people who have different hearing levels.

In the video Michelle Tompkins, who is an Early Childhood Education Teacher Specialist, expressed “ It’s so critical for children to have the relationship to their parents, to have the attachment to their parents, and to have the love and caring that their parents can give them, and communication is the key to that.” (Through Your Child’s Eyes” ASL, 3:00-3:20).

Also, teaching a child or young child to sign language gives them the opportunity/courage to develop language skills quickly. Children would generally not develop those kinds of skills until they have tackle speaking or learning a spoken language. For example in the video, it states that “ Early acquisition of a language provides the foundation for cognitive growth, the thinking and learning skills children need throughout their lives. Through cognition children can engage in more complex actions and think more abstractly. Early Language is a critical aspect in this process.” (Through Your Child’s Eyes: ASL. 3:50-4:10). Educating children and younger kids, sign language is extremely helpful to improving and developing these language skills early. In the Deaf Culture: Exploring Deaf Communities in the United

Toddler Signing In ASL Summary

225 Words | 1 Pages

The video I watched is title “Toddler Signing in ASL” and it’s about a mother who is constantly trying to teach her daughter how to sign in any situation.

How Did Oliver Sacks Digs Into The Exploration Of American Sign Language

584 Words | 3 Pages

In the novel Seeing Voices (1989), Oliver Sacks digs into the exploration of American Sign Language and the culture of Deaf people. Sacks studies the complex ways and effect in which language is used to impact the cognitive part of the brain. The Deaf community is very different from the hearing impaired because the community has had its challenges, language, and history. Denied the opportunity to take in a language, a child will grow up uneducated with no means of understanding and in no way have the ability to communicate with another person. With that being said deaf people in past were not "dumb" or uneducated in fact it was never their fault they were like that, but it was because they never had the chance of being taught a language.

Deaf Like Me Essay

American Sign Language (ASL), and consequently Black American Sign Language (BASL), is uniquely American in that it represents the best and worst of American Education. The best part is that ASL, and its education, gave deaf Americans the opportunity to communicate with others. In contrast, BASL exhibits how racism infiltrates the education system and sign language itself. Thus, BASL originated due to institutional racism in education by way of differing language policies. To begin with, the two differing language policies in question are oralism compared to manualism.
