Question #1:

Alicia: There is a parent-infant play/support group nearby that uses Total Communication and my understanding is that there is an early start Pre-school Zoey could attend, but they don’t use any sign language. As far as I know we can’t attend both, I’m doing so terrible learning ASL, Where do you think we should go?

Clinician: Deciding on a school can be very difficult, but I am here to support you in making a decision and whatever may follow your decision. Have you talked to your family or friends about your options?

Alicia: Not yet. My family and friends are super supportive, but I don’t have enough information on either program yet. Can you help me?

Clinician: Absolutely! I don’t want to overwhelm you because this information can be a lot at first. After we finish meeting, I will send you an email explaining what we talked about. …show more content…

Thank you!

Clinician: Let’s discuss Total Communication first. Total communication uses all different kinds of communication in the classroom. Zoey will learn to use sign language, finger spelling, written, and spoken methods to give information to their students.

It is learning a foreign language. It takes time. I am happy to provide extra ASL resources, such as class, reading material, and videos to support you ASL. But if you do not feel comfortable using ASL, there are also other options.

Panic rose inside of me. I felt like if I made one wrong move I would die of humiliation. What if I signed a word incorrectly? “Hi, nice to meet you.” I practiced for 5 straight days how to say those words in sign language.

I have always been interested in American Sign Language as well as the various aspects of Deaf culture and the community. For ASL classes, it was encouraged to attend events hosted by the UCF ASL Club or try and find other Deaf events in Orlando. As a result, I was able to step a little closer to the exclusive, tight-knit community. One night that sticks out in my memory was a deaf panel event, courtesy of the ASL Club. I heard about the various experiences the panel members have had and all about their lives.

2- Barriers to access to health information and health care services among the deaf Communication competency plays a primary role in successful treatment (Mark V Williams, Davis, Parker, & Weiss, 2002). For instance, effective provider-patient communication for successful sexual and reproductive health programs (Kwadwo Mprah, 2013), decreased vulnerability to avoidable adverse events (Bartlett, Blais, Tamblyn, Clermont, & MacGibbon, 2008) and better use of preventive health services have been demonstrated (Villani & Mortensen, 2013) According to the Helen Killer’s comment about hearing loss, communication is vital for the deaf (Meador & Zazove, 2005). For example, deaf patients’ satisfaction and therapeutic compliance are affected by the adequate health care provider-patient communication (O'Hearn, 2006). Nevertheless, communication and language barriers have been recognized as the indubitable underlying causes of the gap in health knowledge among the deaf community (Kuenburg et al., 2016).

Diversity is a great asset to any organization. Deaf people don’t want to be changed, they would just like to have the same opportunities to participate in society. Callis states, “I believe creating cultural awareness from the top down is the most effective methods of establishing two-way communication between businesses and the deaf community.” I choose this American Sign Language class to fill a cultural understanding requirement for my bachelor’s degree here at IUPUI. I have enjoyed every minute of this class learning about the deaf culture, and especially learning their language, American Sign Language (ASL).

I also learned about wellness checks that are conducted with each patient. The wellness checks helps the providers identify the health status of each patient.

For instance, one patient that had an issue with housing was able to use the resources that I provided to connect with a program that helps with food and shelter.

We speech therapists have been using sign language with infants and toddlers for years. We are especially likely to do this if a child's speech lags behind his desire to communicate. When this happens, children are prone to frustration because they have much more to express than they are able to say. Sign language gives them a way to communicate even if they don't yet have verbal words, and it helps the language part of their brain keep developing while we work to get the speech part to catch up. Because sign language carries these advantages, we often recommend the use of sign language with children who are late talkers, those who are having significant difficulty with speech--such as those with apraxia of speech--or those who have a diagnosis such as Down Syndrome, where speech is often later developing.
