Hi everyone, I'm Tori, I'm Jess and I'm Elijah. Today
We like to talk to you about how to communicate with deaf people and how to make them feel more inclusive
So if you meet a Deaf person or have any Deaf friends and you see that they're having a bad day
just, don't assume that they need help right away instead ask them if they need help
Yeah, deaf people are people too so treat them how you normally would
one thing not to do is to
act as if their gods and tend to their every need. Deaf people often feel uncomfortable in these situations
For example here, we have Susie working on our homework and
Jesse comes along and asks her she needs help
Susie says she's completely fine and
Jess still insists on doing her homework, anyways, as you can see Susie is very uncomfortable with this
Deaf people often take this to offense because they feel that you believe they're incapable of doing their own work
If you know how to use sign language, always ask a deaf person
How they like to communicate. Not all deaf people use sign language or like to use sign language so always ask
What communication method they prefer to use. Also there's not just American language, there's also different types of sign language.
So as you can see Susie is taking a drink of water, then Bob comes, they bump into each other and Susie begins to sign
while Bob standing there looking confused
And he doesn't know what to do
So Bob gets out paper and a pen and he begins to write a note to Susie in order to communicate
That's one of the best ways especially if you don't know sign language
Here's just some basic ASL sign so the deaf people can have a small conversation and feel included
The first sign that we're gonna be teaching you is a sign for 'Thank you'
This is generally used to be polite and to be nice. You're gonna have your fingertips at your chin, and then go out
That's how you sign, 'Thank you'
Next we'll show you how to sign 'Nice to meet you'
This is actually three different signs, but it's very commonly used when meeting new people
Another sign that would be useful is 'How are you?' because it's always polite to ask. So to start off
You need to have your hands together your front fingers touching each other and act like you're scooping something up
Then you're gonna point to the person that you're asking that to. That's how you sign, 'How are you?'
This is a sign for 'Help'
You can sign this in different directions to ask for help, ask someone if they need help, or tell someone to help someone else
When signed towards yourself it means 'Help me'. When signed towards the person you're speaking to it means
'Do you need help?' and when signed towards someone you're not speaking to you it means 'Help them'
So the last sign that we're going to be teaching you is 'Sorry'
To start you're gonna make a fist and then bring it to your chest and move it in a circle
It's not hard at all and one of the simplest signs to learn
We hope these tips can be helpful in the future and create a more inclusive environment. Thank you for watching! I'm Tori,
I'm Jess, I'm Elijah. And we are out!
Alright
And then like that? Yeah, it doesn't look bad.
There ya go. But I know they scared though. They turned it down when I walked over there, so. Oh my god! It's recorded!
