Vlog - Deaf Dish: Through the Eyes and Hands
I was thinking about assistive technology and came across this excellent vlog "Deaf Dish: Through the Eyes and Hands". My only problem is that I don't know American Sign Language (ASL), and there is no captions under her signing, however I enjoy reading her blog. Right now she is taking a break for the summer, busy with her kids and life which I could totally relate to. There are previous vlogs to view. If you know anyone that is deaf or can read ASL direct them to this site and see what they think.

A few years ago I took a sign language class for my 30 above my masters degree. Having a deaf uncle, I learned fingerspelling at a young age. I never went much beyond that. As an adult, I bought an ASL book, but did not devote myself to learning; I just do better with structured classes. In any case, it's interesting to learn about. They have their own syntax and there are even sounds that go along with
ASL.
My Uncle Norman's wife is blind and deaf. As a very young child, I remember being scared and uncomfortable watching and listening to her talk. She was speaking proper ASL. I just had to relax and get to know her, then I was fine.
