...Lauren Schneider ASL IV Tuesday/ Thursday 3:15 November 12, 2013 Deaf Event Paper 1 1. What was the purpose of this assignment? The deaf event I chose to go to was a Sunday morning church service at the Deaf Outreach Church. The purpose was to observe and communicate with others using sign language that weren’t from class. There is a difference from signing signs we are learning in class and holding a conversation with others. I needed to apply what I learned in the classroom to real life. 2. What is one question about the Deaf community that you hoped to answer during the course of this assignment? What causes the strong bond in the Deaf culture? From observing the people signing to each other it made me understand that it partly their use of ASL that keeps the bond strong. Also, the understanding they have for one another makes them so close. They have shared common experiences and struggles that being deaf came with. It’s like when I went to Italy and would feel more connected to other Americans and would start talking to them even if I didn’t know them. Speaking English was something I had in common with very few people while I was over there, so it made me want to reach out to others that spoke English. 3. Before going what did you expect it to be like? I expected it to be boring and that I would be completely lost in what was going on. I expected it to be completely silent and all in sign language. I thought people that knew I was hearing and would...

...American Sign Language is the interesting, logic, and fun to learn. The other people use American Sign Language to communicate with their friends, family or their loved one who is deaf. ASL is the fourth of the most-used languages in the United States. Now parents are teaching their babies to learn ASL. The estimates were at least 500,000 through two million are using the ASL. The American Sign Language gives children, their confidence, and self-esteem in their lives. Deaf Community vs. Hard of hearing is a different point of views and their impact was to have opportunities to have new friendships, connection to other people in the deaf community and to be able to talk with Deaf people easier. The hard of hearing or non-signer could be friends...

...LANGUAGE ACQUISTIION AND DEAFNESS Assignment 1 INTRODUCTION The first 0 – 4 years are the most important years of the learning process of a child’s life. It is generally expressed that a child’s brain can perform like a sponge in early education, and that it can soak up a wealth of information which is retained for most of its life. Much of our knowledge could be described as being acquired in a mechanical or programmed sort of way during these early years, whereby a child learns to crawl, sit, stand, walk or talk without being shown or forced to do so. However, with regard to language acquisition, according to the ‘Behaviourist’ Perception (B.F. Skinner) children learn through training and start from scratch. This theory bases its beliefs on everything being determined through the environment, whereby “’conditioning’ that is through imitation” Singleton, D (1989:122) and habit development forms the basis of language acquisition. On the other hand the ‘Nativist’ approach (N. Chomsky) contradicts this line of thought. This theory argues that there is a ‘poverty of stimulus’ in earliest environmental existence and that the child is born with an innate biological language faculty which steers and forms language acquisition, and that humans are equipped with a language acquisition device (LAD). Singleton (1989). The “argument here is age related having to do with the early emergence of language in the young child”. Singleton (1989:188). While each writer has his particular...

... I’m still not a fan of the packets we’re supposed to do in class because sometimes the terms will be missing or the action will be doubled. It tends to be confusing and takes a lot of time to finish up. I am kind of upset that my professor didn’t have us do video assignments this time around. I felt like those helped a lot when it came learning and reviewing the material more. The slides also tend to be confusing as well, maybe I’m just a confused person, but they seem to be very scattered and not well organized. Also, the terms not being listed at the end of the slides makes it difficult to remember them. I know personally, I write everything down so I can look at it later on and try to memorize them, but that’s hard to do when once I finish writing on word down, we’re onto the next one and I miss the sign completely. Other than that, I’m very excited and nervous about this video project. I feel like it’s going to determine how much we’ve actually learned these past two months and how much we’ve actually committed to memory. So I can’t wait to see that. I think the number of deaf event papers we have to write is a bit unfair considering most of us don’t really have the time available to attend these events when they take place due to work or other commitments. I also miss having to do work in the textbooks because watching the DVDs also helped commit the signs to...

...talent, from computer programmers working on speech-recognition products to engineers fabricating semiconductor devices. Ironically, amid all this high-tech gadgetry, some of the hardest jobs to fill have the ring of rust-belt manufacturing. Like most firms, Big Blue has trouble finding enough precision machinists who operate lathes and milling equipment. "It’s a dying art," says Bill Strachan, the center’s program director for technical recruiting. "Most of the precision machinists that are available are highly skilled members of the aging workforce, so we have to look for new sources." That search for new sources took the company to an unexpected place: the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. The world’s largest technological college for students who are deaf or hard of hearing offers a degree in computer integrated machining technologies. Without employees trained in this field, IBM would have to send welding projects to outside vendors, slowing turnaround times and raising costs. Hiring disabled workers gives the 315,000-person organization access to a much larger talent pool that enables it to produce the best...

...Human Resource Management (HRM) refers to the policies, practices, and systems that influence employees’ behavior, attitudes, and performance (Noe, et al. 2006). An analysis of work is considered a building block for most HR systems in organizations. Corporate restructuring processes, quality improvement programs, human resource planning, job design, recruitment strategies, training programs, succession planning, and compensation systems are among the other HR activities that are based on work analysis (Bernardin, 2008). Choosing a job that interested me to perform a work analysis was not easy; I really wanted to take this opportunity to put to work the information learned in Chapter 3 and 4 of our class with a job that it always interested me in learning on how they perform their job and what it takes to do the job. I chose a sign language interpreter from my previous job at the National Institutes of Health, Clinical Center. I worked for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center for 7 years and felt totally committed in complying with their mission to clinical research. The NIH Clinical Center (CC) is the clinical research hospital for the National Institutes of Health. It's the nation's largest hospital devoted entirely to clinical research.

...Introduction According to computing fundamentals theory, ICT (information and communications technology - or technologies) is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning. ICTs are often spoken of in a particular context, such as ICTs in education, health care, or libraries. This term paper focuses on ICTs in education and particularly its importance in transforming university education provision in Kenya. These ways are discussed in the preceding paragraphs. A specific dimension of scientific and technological progress that is already having a strong effect in university education is information and communication technology revolution. The advent of printing in the 15th century brought about the first radical transformation of modern times in the way knowledge is kept and shared. New ways of reproducing documents and information faster and more efficiently are introduced making learning in university faster and simple. Storage, transmission, access and use of information are today being revolutionized by innovations in informatics and telecommunications. Universities can now store, transmit, access and use information in a much modernized manner than before if new technologies are embraced. Rapid progress in...

...PBS for Blind and Visually Impaired Teacher Interview Paula Widell Grand Canyon University SPE 522 February 26, 2014 As educators we may address many problems in the classroom. Some of these problems can be altered or modified. In an interview done with a special education teacher who specializes in blind and visually impaired along with the deaf, speaks about how PBS or Positive Behavior Supports help her keep her children and class in control. The ratio of the class is 6:1:2, six students, one teacher and two assistants. “Research in the field of PBS has fostered a greater awareness among professional toward furthering their understanding of the relationship between distant setting events (i.e., physical, social, and environmental variables that serve to establish operations or “set the stage”) and antecedents (i.e., events that trigger behavior) and problematic behavior” (Wheeler and Richey, 2014). Her school does have a PBS system in place and since most of the students in the building are blind or severely visually impaired, they use task sort of system to keep the students on track and focus. Jenifer says “We tell the students first you do this then you do this, or if you do this first you can do this after, sort of a rewards system of you will” (J. Kaplan, personal communication, February 24, 2014). She has a daily schedule up in her classroom and she also uses tangible cues and pictures to remind her students of what expected of them during the...

...After reading the research article that was required for this weeks assignment, “Over 30 Workers Trapped After Chilean Copper Mine Collapse” (Weik, 2010), the article stated that on August 5, 2010, a small San José copper mine operation in northern Chile owned by Minera San Esteban Primera, collapsed leaving 33 workers trapped underground within the Earth’s soil. The article also reported that rescuers where making an effort to locate workers in order to drill a passage way to provide those trapped within the mine food, water and oxygen, nevertheless rescuers were interrupted on Saturday due to a second collapse of the mine. The news article also provided information that prior to the 2010 collapse, there was a fatal accident in January of 2007 which closed the mine, but operations at the mine resumed later that year. The communications with an audience are determined by the people and the different roles with it. Several considerations should be remembered due to the different perceptions or views, cultural or liberal diversity, communication deficiencies or barriers (deaf or blind individuals), along with the type of language used and also the location of the audience. The most important aspect to remember is having an idea of the types of communication styles to use when speaking to an audience. Communication styles give the sender an opportunity to express their inter thoughts while connecting with the audience. The message of the incident to the family should be an eventful...

...In this assignment I will be talking about the different types of communication that are used in care settings with factors that support and inhibit them. Communication is very important as it means sharing, giving and retaining information, and without daily interactions with other people, either orally or verbally, it would be extremely hard to get information that may be needed. In care settings, communication is vital to help with patients and clients. Communication is important in health and social care is it helps to build a relationship between the client/ service user and carer. There are four types of communication used in care settings, and these are; oral, written, computerised and special methods. Oral Oral communication is the process by which information is given verbally from one person or group of people to another. This includes consultations between a Doctor and a patient within the Doctors surgery. Oral communication can either be informal or formal. The purpose of oral communication is to build a relationship with the service user, therefore building up their self-esteem and making them more confident with talking to the practitioner. Also providing empathy when needed helps to support the service user and therefore gain more trust, that the practitioner will not tell anyone what they have just said and discussed, and that they will keep all their information confidential so no one can access it. It is also used to develop mutual understanding between the...

...Emerging Crisis: A Lecture about the Psychosocial Perspective of Personality I. Introduction Coon and Mitterer (2013) stated from their book that every life is marked by a number of developmental milestones. Those milestones are notable events, markers, or turning points that affect the development of a certain individual. Some examples of these include graduating from school, reaching your dreams, getting married, getting a job, becoming a parent, retirement, and one’s own death. One of the important things that a person needs to develop is his personality. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, personality is the set of qualities and behaviors that makes a person different from other people. From the definition, lots of questions arise. Some examples are “What makes them different from the other?”, “Why are they behaving like that?”, and “Who am I?” In order to answer those questions, Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development will help to understand the complexity of human personality. Erikson’s ‘psychosocial’ term is derived from two words – ‘psychological’ means mind and ‘social’ means external relationships (Chapman, 2013). According to Ramkumar (2002), Erik Erikson did most of his works during the 1930s to the 1950s as a psychologist. He was fascinated in child analysis. He was the student of Sigmund Freud and he was inspired by his works. From the article of Chapman (2013), Erikson’s psychosocial theory was drawn and was extended from the ideas of...
