Signing Stuff



These little sweeties are the sons of the Mom who writes the Signs of Life blog- highly recommended.

Here's a little manners tip for when communication with a deaf person via an interpreter.

And... I am a fan of a teen drama show. The sort of thing I normally scoff and mock. Except that the program features a deaf story line, with the actors who play deaf characters actually being deaf (or Deaf, and there is a difference).

Switched at Birth: Volume One

Caveats abound. There is a scene where Daphne and Wilke climb into the backseat of a car. I'd just skip it completely. There are mouthy teens. There's a spoiled brat of a wretched girl I would want nowhere near a son of mine, but I think the movie writers want viewers to love her spunk. I think she needs some spunk with an a, at least when she was younger. There are teens with gambling addictions and who knows what other problems (but you know they're coming, and vandalism and so forth and so on. But, oh, I love the signing scenes. I do wish they'd keep the camera on the signers.

Anyway, enjoy.

  2. Bones and Law and Order sometimes have deaf people and that is my biggest frustration, they have on part of the signs, or from and angel so you can't read it!
