How to get the attention of a  D eaf person.
 
 
 
 
 
For many  D eaf, there is often little to no communication in the home.
It is best for the hearing to sign when in the presence of the  D eaf.
Communication is key within the Family for a  D eaf child and if a family don’t know how to sign, a  D eaf may feel excluded or confused.
The  D eaf sometimes don’t realize that they are making sounds. For example, the spoon and fork when eating (or others like the banging of the door, dragging the chair, etc.)
The  D eaf will not fully understand a lesson if a teacher does not use sign language to explain the discussion.
Hearing people use the phone to call each other.  D eaf people makes use of the SMS technology to communicate to both  D eaf and hearing.
D eaf people may sign something that is wide and might hit the person standing next to them. But this is purely accidental. In  D eaf conversations, every gesture is very important and sufficient signing space is needed for arm movements.
Television often do not have caption so  D eaf people do not understand what is being said on the TV.  D eaf people miss out on the information.
With a sign language interpreter signing in a small inset on the lower part of the TV,  D eaf people would have access to information from the news.
The  D eaf could participate in the church mass or worship services if there is a sign language interpreter or the priest himself would sign the mass.
 
 
Name signs  are a very important part of  D eaf culture.  There are rules the  D eaf follow when making up name signs, hence the reason only a  D eaf person is supposed to give you a name sign. The name sign often reflects a physical characteristic (hair length, dimples, a scar) or it can be related to your personality or job.  Once given a name sign, it is how the  D eaf community recognizes you.
 
Getting Started: It is important to get your message across, to connect and to be understood when communicating with a  D eaf person.
Communicating with the  D eaf
Gestures / Body movements Pantomimes Facial Expressions
Pen and Paper for short messages
By asking trained interpreters to express your message to the Deaf (keep in mind to speak to the Deaf not the interpreter) Learn fingerspelling.
 
Communicating with the  D eaf ( General Communication Principles)
Get the  D eaf person’s attention before signing or making a gesture. Speak slowly and clearly. Look directly at the  D eaf person. Do not place anything in or over your mouth or try to cover your mouth when you speak.
Avoid jargons. Do not pretend that you understand what they said. Always provide for an FSL interpreter.
I can  Do  it!!!!!!
