I don't know if its just me or its a bad think but I just love watch deaf people communicate the way they use there hands is so beautiful and poetic and I find it mesmorizing
+Maria Mulholland There is nothing wrong with thinking sign language is beautiful.
Agreed Maria. Sign Language is beautiful, it's very soothing to watch I think. I'm trying to learn some Irish Sign Language (ISL) myself which is a bit different to ASL but many signs are the same lucky for me!😁
+Alan S That is cool! I would love to learn more sign languages. :)
ASL Stew You should try it, it's such an interesting thing to do. As you already know ASL you could try to learn French Sign Language (from which ASL and indeed ISL are based). It's like the mother sign language haha😁
Hello
When I am about to learn something on your channel that I don't know about, I practice signing by turning the volume off. I see how long I can follow without hearing your voiceover and it's pretty hard, but good exercise! I recommend it!
+A.K. Madden Good idea :)
Fabulous! I loved this! So clear and concise! You provided a lot of very important and useful info. I will include link to this in my training webcasts I am preparing. Thank you.
+sbgrassick So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for including it in your webcasts! :)
great tips! i'm learning so much from your channel. thank you so much!
[Jenna] Glad this video helped!
That is good we do deaf/blind people at our Apartment is in Los Angeles, CA and I am very proud of you explain more details for deaf/blind. God bless you.
Thank you for making this awesome video, Jill! :) I am deaf-blind as well (low-vision/profound sloping loss), and it's hard for me to read captions (so the Netflix has HUGE captions, haha) or read faces and lips from a distance, so being close definitely helps. My ASL is rusty :( but, yes, going slower also helps. :) Again, thank you for your wonderful patience and understanding. Jen is surely lucky to have you. :) Peace always...
oddfellowfloyd I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for your kinds words as well. :)
Alsome my name charvell, l deaf blind.hear nothing but some vision left eye only basically.😁
SimplySimpleSigning Welcome Charvell! :)
Hello
Everything you said was spot on. I have a friend who is deaf-blind and it’s really hard to communicate with him. In the daylight or a well lit room we can communicate well but when it gets dark, or certain places like maybe a restaurant that’s dimmed,communication gets a little harder and I have to sign in his hand. The only thing that I disagree with is the proximity you mentioned. For him; he always says I sign too close to him and I have to move back. But again, I feel aligned with everything you mentioned. Especially where you said you might sneed to modify your signing space.
Jill.. I stared at this video for a few minutes and I thought I recognized you! :) I remember your happy smile from our workshop in Rochester. Good to see your face again. Hi to your wife.
This was a great little video, and I am definitely going to share it with others. You are good at vlogs and I hope you keep them up!
- Samantha (Bringing the Stage to Life Workshop)
gatecommunications So great to hear from you Samantha! Thank you for sharing my video. I will tell Jenna hi for you.
I love that there is talking along with the signing, for people who are learning! NICE! :D
Accessibility for all!
+ASL Stew yea, just don't understand why not both together, instead of voicing over the video. Maybe deaf people read lips different that someone that can hear?
I neither know anybody blind nor deaf in my life but I don't know why I have this feeling that I have to know or else I can't communicate with others
+Juri Seki That's great if you want to learn in order to possible communicate with others. :)
You never know when you might end up using it. I didn't used to know anyone deaf when I started learning ASL, but then when I was in the hospital for a while the lunch lady happened to be deaf and we were able to have some basic conversations since I'd happened to be practicing ASL recently.
What you do is amazing. Thanks!
[Jill] Thank you
Good, clear explanation, thank you! Your signing is pleasant to look at it.
Sarah Penk Thank you so much!
Great video! I'm trying to learn all I can about Deaf-Blind communication before camp next week. You have one of the best signing videos I've seen. You should be a teacher! You're signing is beautiful, clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much for the help!
Lace Redmon Wow thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad I could be of help. Good luck on camp. I had a lot of fun helping at Deaf-Blind camp. You will learn sooo much! :)
This is so inspiring indeed. It will go a long way to enhance my teaching
juliepat73 Omugur So happy I could help! :)
This is really cool! I'm legally blind. I'm not deaf or hard of hearing but I really want to learn how to sighn.
How you watching this?
@@Dustin34 legend blind death mean fully blind. I have some sight.
Very informative! Thanks for sharing.
+Madison Panell Thanks for watching! :)
I've been legally blind since high school (im in my 20s now) and I've started to lose my hearing also and am now considered deaf blind and I found this video looking for something to send to my in-laws as a way to give them suggestions for how to communicate with me. This is such a great video! Also your signing is nice and clear. Sometimes I can't see signing in vlogs because it's too fast and blurry (like you said! :D) but yours was so easy to follow!
[Jill] Wow, I'm so happy to hear that this video is helpful with you and your family. I hope all goes well. :)
Oh my goodness! Thank you for doing this video, I wasn't sure if you were going to do it , but you did! Thank you :D
On 0.28 mark there is a spelling error for 'website' you spelt 'websie' , on the subtitles ,
Excellent video :D
Jake Alexander Murray Haha yes I write down all the ideas given to me and try to get to them as soon as I can. Sorry this took so long. I will fix that subtitle error. Thank you for letting me know. :)
I am in my bachelor's interpreting program and this semester we had a Deafblind interpreting class. This weekend we interpreted for Deafblind people and went shopping with them. What is one thing that so important to stress is always communicate with the person if something is wrong or you need to let the person know something. Also be flexiable with method of interpreting for Deafblind. The person I worked with sometimes would use tactile when communicating from time to time, but typically used close vision interpreting when we just interpreted. Also while interpreting always identify who is speaking when you interpret.
Hello... I am deaf good you my friend??? How are You??? Hi...number 7628912660 okays
I want to learn about deaf-blind communication, Thank you for informative video.
+Seo Young Kim Thank you for watching :)
Just stumbled across this video while looking at different deaf and deafblind related topics. As a user of Pro-Tactile (I am Deaf and have low vision in my left eye and near to none in my right, while also having night blindess) I find this video really good! Thank you for sharing all of this information! It is my hope to become a DeafBlind specialist one day.
[Jill] I'm so happy to hear you liked the video! Good luck on becoming a Deafblind specialist. That would be awesome!
ASL Stew thank you so much for the encouragement! I look forward to it.
I remember reading about Annie Sullivan teaching Helen Keller the tactile signing method. It is great that there are so many ways to communicate so that people do not feel left out of conversations with blind/deaf people.
Megan Luck Yes and I know there are more that I'm not familiar with and technology improving helps too. :)
WOW! Thanks for help communicate for deaf and blind people! ;-)
[Jill] Sure, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
You're an interpreter? THAT'S SUPER COOL! I would love to pursue that "when I grow up" LOL!
+Diane Ramsey Yup! Thanks. Good luck on your pursuit "when you grow up" lol :)
Thank you so very much for talking and explaining about deaf blind. Because yes I am deaf blind. And I use tactile sign language because I only have a tiny tiny bit of light perception. And when I’m traveling outside I wear hearing aids in each year. And my friends tell me that when I hug them they can hear the feedback from my hearing aids that held out my hearing aid have to be for me to hear. Because without him I am considered death.
This is so helpful. I'm a writer, and I wanted to include a deaf blind character in my story (the character is a child who helps the main character discover different kinds of strength) but I realized I knew nothing of how she would communicate effectively. TH-cam videos from people with firsthand experience as well as a million Google searches saved me! My world includes magic so I considered telepathy but that felt like a cop out.
I'm glad I could be helpful for your book. I would add that talking to a Deaf Blind person would be the best avenue. They are a great resource since it's their life.
Very good video. Great work.
+Mary Ng Thank you
Great video! The only thing that bothers me is the background music. It's often hard for us adhd folks to focus on listening to someone talk when there's music playing in the back.
Hi, I've just found your channel and really enjoying your videos so far. I am hearing, have low vision and I'm learning ASL in a class with a Deaf teacher and sighted classmates. I love learning how to sign but admittedly I do find it very visually demanding to keep up. I found this video helpful for those reasons as well as learning more about how to communicate with people who are deaf-blind. Would you have any tips on how I could learn better in class without interrupting my classmates' learning? I totally understand if you don't - it's an unusual question I guess. I can't sign well enough yet to effectively communicate with my teacher on what I can and can't see. I want to continue learning!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Have a great day!
butanoverture Hmm yeah I'm not super sure, but I can try and give you a few suggestions. First, maybe it would be possible to request for a CDI (certified deaf interpreter). If there are none that are certified, then maybe just request for a deaf interpreter. That would mean they would watch the teacher, and either copy sign, or if that is too fast for you, then they could adapt the sign that makes it easier for you to understand. Maybe a second option is to request that you can video record your classes. That way you can go back and watch later and replay if things are too fast to get the first time (some teachers allow and some don't). Really, the best to do is to communicate your concerns with your teacher. If you cannot sign to them yet, then write it on paper or in an email format. They will be able to work with you to make sure you are getting the most out the class you can. Hope this helps. :)
Great start... For more info on pro-tactile, go to search box and type protactile deafblind, you will see four videos explaining in protactile in detail... Enjoy!
+Vince Nuncio Thank you.
Great! Also "throughout" at beginning of "tips"... forgot the ou... :-) Will use with my class.
McMillen ASL Oops sorry about that! Thanks
I'm about to start to learn my country's sign language, I hope this channel might help me
[Jill] I'm sure we can be of some help. :)
Thank you for share your experience! Still learning but im getting there. God Bless
[Jill] We are always learning! :)
I've also heard of haptics, like drawing on someone's back to explain scenery, or touches to signal yes or no. I've also seen a DeafBlind woman, Heather Lawson asks her interpreters to do people's expressions on her arm. For example, the interpreter would draw a smile or frown on her arm. An o would be for amazed, a hit is like, "oh come on", or a scratch is for laughing. Her interpreter would also draw a question mark on her arm if the audience was puzzled. These are just a few examples, I know every DeafBlind is different. Sorry that this is so lengthy.
omg... I really really really couldn't imagine not being able to hear AND see... 😭😭😭 I hope one day surgery for this stuff becomes cheaper for moderate people later on.
+BlueRose 101 Yes your life would be different if you couldn't hear or see but it's not all bad. Maybe DeafBlind people live very fulfilling lives and don't even see their lives as anything less that normal. :)
I have worked with deaf-blind people, in a variety of capacities, for many years. I just wanted to say you did a pretty good job with your video. You should consider using a deaf-blind person in future videos. Let me know if I can help you find someone.
+Rustie Rotstein Yes in future videos we definitely want to involved others for a variety of topics. Thank you!
Esight or stem cell research or therapy may be able to help you would need to research it though?
This is so good. :) I am sorry that i can`t enjoy more, because i am trying to learn Croatian sign language, and trying to be an interperor for hard of hearing, deaf and deaf blind people. So i really don`t want to mix up signs. :P But this is a really good thing you are doing. Because there are so many prejudice about deaf and deaf blind people. :) Sorry on my bad English, I am so bad in grammar. :P I like your vid so much. Thanks :)
+mimi mami Thank you for watching! Your English is just fine. That's great you are trying to become an interpreter. Good luck!
Thank you :) I hope one day after I master in Croatian sign language I will learn ASL too... :)
We do know HKNC
If you were to print on someone's palm and their palm is facing you would you do the letters backwards so that they don't seem mirrored to them?
[Jill] As far as I know, you just write it from your perspective. You do not need to write them backwards. The Deaf-blind individual will get used to the idea of flipping the letters in their mind, just like Deaf people do when watching signing. (If this is wrong... please anyone let me know. Thanks)
Is it okay if I share this with my friends to teach them about how to communicate with a deaf blind person?
Plus I showed this video to the friend who is deaf blind and she agrees 100% on everything you said and now wants to make a TH-cam account just to subscribe to you :)
Jake Alexander Murray Of course you can Jake! Please share with anyone you want. I'm so glad to hear your Deaf Blind friend agreed with my video. That is so sweet she is making an account just to subscribe to me. THANK YOU so much!
I am deaf and my bff is blind so lol
(The video on my channel is from my sister)
Wow interesting. :)
Katy Ems I love how you just "LOL'ed" after that :-)
www.aadb.org is not work on link. You have forget to fix real link above there.
so what if someone is fully deaf and fully blind and always has been, how would print on palm work? like how would they know what letters look like and sound like ya know?
I'm not an expert on that, but I believe you can use tactile letters (raised letters) to teach the alphabet. I don't know about sounds of letters.
yeah i really enjoy your vids especially when your signing with cc. thank you jill also i think its totally cool that your a married lesbian i definitely support that. its nice to see the LGBT community gaining more rights. well anyway hope you keep up the vids
***** Thank you for the support Travis!
Hi, um, my sister has recently became deaf-blind due to an accident... I was curious to if you know of anything that I can do to like keep her occupied through out the day?
[Jill] Hmm I'm not that much of an expert in everyday life for Deaf-Blind. But I would say you could look into this resource. facebook.com/ClarisaVollmar/ This is a family with a Deaf Blind baby (they are Deaf themselves). I know they have a baby and your sister may be older, but they might have better connections to others who could help you. Good luck!
Thank you!
so they know, only with holding the wrists of the other one person which sign is meant? I don`t think so
I have seen that the blind person makes a circle with his hands above the signing hands of the other person, with wrists i suppose they wouldn`t feel the differences between the signs. They are blind, they don`t see the hands ;)
Tracking is just to help the person see "track" the signs easier. If the person has limited vision they can use tracking to make sure they know where the signs are being done.
I would love to learn how to sign, any tips on where to start?
You can start with online videos until you can take a formal class. Bill Vicars videos are amazing to learn from . You can find them on TH-cam. If you want formal classes, just make sure they are from a Deaf person.
I have a question. When someone (not everyone) signs why do they make odd or overly exaggerated facial or lip movements?
[Jill] Some people are just more expressive than others.
That's how they show tone in what they are saying. Why don't people who can hear speak in monotone?
Facial expression can be part of the sign. Quiet versus VERY QUIET with facial expression. The communication is not only the hands.
Wait what.. when youre blind can you see blackness or is it just blurry? because shes saying here you might have to sign closer to them? so how do they know youre even signing if they cant see or hear im so confused
[Jenna] There's different types and ranges of blindness just like deafness, so some people may have limited vision and they can see signs up close. It really depends on Deaf-Blind individuals and what works best for each of them.
Some blind people can see quite a bit, just not very clearly. There are people that can't perceive light at all, and that'd be black, but there's a wide range, from people who just need very strong glasses to pitch black
My dad's doctor told him that my dad will eventually go deaf and blind and I'm worried about it
[Jill] I would say be proactive in learning new ways to do everyday things. It wouldn't hurt to start learning some sign language or different communication techniques. Also, learning ways that Blind individuals interact with everyday life. I would say look into local organizations for the Blind, Deaf, or DeafBlind. Being proactive about the situation will always be more helpful.
no offense but I just wonder is it necessary for deaf people to have a lot facial expression or it just happen naturally when they do sign language?
+Behind You Facial expression is a part of sign language, it can indicate grammar as well as having other uses. Being a visual language though, people tend to be more expressive with facial expression naturally (not all though , as everyone is different).
Thanks for information :)
th-cam.com/video/l11lahuiHLA/w-d-xo.html is the first video of four on ProTactile.
So many different facial expressions
Yes I'm a very expressive person.
🇧🇩😭😭🤣🤣
but how do they know who they’re looking at tho?
[Jill] I'm not an expert on that, but once you establish communication, then they know you are in front of them. If you move, then you would inform them.
😀😀👉👈 👆
??
[Jill] ??
are you blind?
+Shefali Anapat No I am not.
+ASL Stew dumb?
+Shefali Anapat nope
+ASL Stew ??????? then how do you know deaf and dumb language?
+Shefali Anapat Well ASL is the language of Deaf/Hard of hearing people. Deaf and dumb is an old term that is not used anymore. I learned ASL by studying the langauge and interacting with Deaf/Hard of hearing people just like learning any other language. :)
