"Technical Sign Interview Series"

The Technical Sign Interviews compose a series of videotaped interviews where deaf professionals discuss their occupations. The interviews are conducted by second-generation native ASL users, designed to elicit the "deaf way" of describing complex actions and jobs. These videotapes, each approximately 30 to 45 minutes long, are designed for use by people who already have advanced ASL skills; no captions or voiceovers are provided. They are not intended to be "vocabulary lists" but instead models of how deaf people discuss technical information among themselves. Produced by the National Center on Deafness (NCOD) / Western Region Outreach Center & Consortia (WROCC). Videos. See price list below.

A parent worries about being able to hear the baby's cry, family members become concerned when a loved one doesn't answer the phone, one's social life becomes constricted because the door goes unanswered, co-workers worry when another worker doesn't notice alarms in the building. We often think of hearing loss in terms of the issues that it creates around being able to hear and understand speech. But our hearing also alerts us to other events or dangers in our environments. In fact, many hard-of-hearing persons complain of fatigue from constantly being on 'high alert.' This module looks at a variety of assistive devices that help to convert sound to signals that are accessible to persons who are hard of hearing, deaf, or deaf-blind. Produced by WROCC.
