Did anyone see Monday nights episode of Switched at Birth? It was all in ASL with captions for the signing impaired. It had a really good point to present about a deaf perspective of ASL and ASL residential schools for the Deaf. Of course these are not the views of all deaf individuals but It was nice see a a scenario of Deaf, hearing, and hard of hearing students all working together to preserve their deaf space. Awesome way to inform hearing people of a Deaf view! Loved it!

I agree it was really good. I was sitting there watching it and was texting my bf telling him why i really liked the episode. I was telling him that it showed a different perspective then what i am used to seeing.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a great episode. I enjoyed how they used sign language and introduced ASL to those in the hearing world who were previously uneducated.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see it but I hear that there has been a lot of positive feedback from viewers. My sister being one of them. She loved it.
ReplyDeleteI watch Switched at Birth every Monday and I love it. I really enjoyed this weeks episode because when Melody was trying to decide if she was going to take a job she realized that she was going to have to accommodate to the hearing people. The entire show is based on a deaf person's life. I guess you could say "A day in the life of a deaf person." It was really neat and interesting to watch and you can kind of see what it would be like to be deaf and living in a hearing world.
ReplyDeleteI watch that show every week and love every minute of it. I think it was a great way to see what it might be like for deaf people from a hearing perspective. It was a great episode.
