    I have no friends, family members who are deaf but I decided to learn ASL because I feel the world needs to be equal when the Deaf community has not gained enough accessibility. I have helped quite a lot of people who are struggling with communication and I feel really good that they aren't being left out. I think everyone should take their chance and time to at least know the basic signs for the Deaf, they would be super appreciated!

    This made me cry growing up in the deaf community being partially deaf I've seen kids upset because they can't talk to people but I also know they were pretty risiliant kids the fact they did that made me so happy

      I learned from an ASL teacher named Bill Vicars (he has lessons on CZcams and also Lifeprint) that babies can learn ASL even before they learn to talk, because they are always moving their hands and fingers so much!

  • @tornadod23
    @tornadod23 Před 5 lety +9

    This touches my heart so much because I myself am deaf in my left ear and hard of hearing in my right. A lot of people don't even like to have to repeat themselves when talking to someone Deaf or HOH so for these neighbors of this beautiful little to go out of their way to learn sign language is such a blessing to her. God bless you all! ❤️

    Imagine this!! I grew up in Newton and couldn’t be more proud that a neighborhood would do this for that precious little Samantha and her special family. . This is so inspiring and should give us all hope for the future. I am overcome with emotion and wish I too could thank each of those wonderful people. Bless them all. L’ Chaim. “It takes a village to raise a child, as the expression goes.” Thank you Steve Hartman and CBS for sending out the call. And I’m just saying… I probably wouldn’t make a casserole… maybe cookies?

      @@MyWasteOfTime remember that the video is designed for hard of hearing/ deaf users and those people are mad because a video designed for deaf people and should have added captions and the fact that cbs doesn’t do this regularly let alone videos design for deaf people, it frustrates them. It makes the deaf/Hard of hearing community angry is that the company doesn’t realize that a video that is about our community should have cc’s. I know it seems like I am going on a rant but majority of news videos don’t have captions so it makes people feel not included especially on a video about deaf people.
