thank you for reassuring us that it is okay to make a mistake while learning. I am going through an ASL course online right now and just found myself getting overwhelmed and almost wanting to cry at the thought of being insensitive or offending somebody. I don't want that fear to paralyze me from practicing my communication skills in different languages that I may learn. Learning ASL and interacting with different communities literally will force you to get over yourself lol. It's really good and very humbling
Yeah what I’ve noticed about the deaf community is that they are very patient and don’t get offended easily lol. Very cool people to hang out with overall
Thank you for this video. I’m trying to learn ASL online, but I lost inspiration a couple of months ago. You have inspired me to continue to learn. Thank you!
If you use your finger to write letters on the person's hand, should you use upper or lower case? Are most deaf blind adults who had the proper education, able to understand that?
There’s not really upper or lowercase words used if it was specifically important then I would probably use a sign indicating that it’s a capital letter
Use all upper case letters except the letter "i" which is written in lower case. The dot on the lowercase "i" makes it easy to distinguish. If you make a mistake, just motion on the palm of the hand that you're erasing it. DeafBlind adults who are proficient in English (or whatever language you're writing in - my friend's parents used Print On Palm (POP) in Bengali) should be able to get the hang of it, although it may not be their preferred method of communication. I once worked with a gentleman who became deaf later in life, then lost his vision overnight (illness and other conditions). Fortunately, when it happened, staff at the hospital knew to use POP and introduced it to him. It was a lifesaver. Slow, but at least he was able to get information in. He used speech to communicate back. If a DB person has peripheral neuropathy which makes it difficult to feel the letters on the palm of their hand, try their upper arm or back...wherever they are comfortable and can feel the message.
He is legally blind. However he does have limited vision. This is very common. Not everyone who is blind is. Completely in the dark. Some see shadows and light, others see figures but no details. Some see in one eye but have no depth perception due to the other eye. Lots of variety here. Always good to ask what they can see or hear to help you communicate with them!

Where is the blind one @@WavefrontCentre
If he is blind, how is he seeing the signs? 🤔

People are blind they can speaking and listening. People can’t speaking they alway can’t listening but they can seeing.
Actually almost no blind person if fully blind
