Lots of “food for thought” to digest in this 4 minute video! The concept of “audism” is an emotionally charged hot topic, so let’s work together infuse kindness, empathy, and understanding into our worlds 🤍🙏

My parents are hearing, my mother sent me to a residential school for the Deaf and Blind. She prepared me for what is to come, I had mild hearing loss. Wasn't successful in public school. My hearing loss has worsened, I'm so grateful for her sacrifice of sending me away. I have the tools for what's to come. I wouldn't be who I am today had she not sent me to get the education I deserved.

Hello. I'm a CODA. I'm in college now to learn ASL. My parents know some ASL. I was taught Signed English. I rely on mouth movement and I find myself reading lips, I feel like this is a bad habit because not all Deaf signers mouth the words as they sign. Do you have any advice or suggestions?

[@ASLSnapshots]

It’s wonderful to read your enthusiasm for improvement! “Mouth morphemes” are an essential part of ASL grammar. And yes, many Deaf people tend to take it a step further and incorporate lipreading into their signing…. It’s not necessarily a bad habit.
Consider watching shows such as the Daily Moth - news anchors in ASL. The anchors there tend to sign in the way you expressed wanting improvements on.
I have an ever growing list of ASL content on my website called “Community Resources”. The Daily Moth, among others, is linked there:
