...Ryan Lane Ryan Thomas Lane was born on November 23, 1987 to parents William and Jill Lane. Ryan was born deaf and when he was only 2 weeks old he was diagnosed with congenital nerve deafness. Congenital nerve deafness is a defect on the auditory nerve in the cochlea which may be present at birth or acquired during or soon after birth. Usually both inner ears are effected to the same extent. In Ryan’s case congenital nerve deafness was either caused by kernicterus (a lack of oxygen during a prolonged pregnancy, where the baby becomes jaundiced,) or was inherited from failure of the cochlea to develop properly. His sisters Hayley and Kristen both knew sign language, and tried to teach their parents and Ryan also. Though they knew ASL, they knew nothing about the background and culture of the Deaf Community. When Ryan was 6 years old he started learning ASL. He soon realized that he did not like ASL and decided to use SEE (signed exact English). Ryan’s father, William, was hard-of-hearing but his mother and sisters were both hearing. Ryan Lane won the worlds heart by communicating through SEE, his recurring role in ABC’s hit drama “Switched at Birth,” and by participating in the charity “Dogs for the Deaf” Ryan Lane knew American Sign Language but preferred to use SEE. When he was younger his parents wanted him to learn to read lips, so they sent him through speech auditory training. It was hard for him to learn anything because he could not focus, and he did not understand...

...Have you ever heard of hearing dog or thought it would be cool to have one if you were deaf or hearing impaired? Hearing dogs assist deaf individuals by alerting them to a variety of household sounds such as a door knock or doorbell, alarm clock, oven buzzer, telephone, baby cry, name call or smoke alarm. In 1970 a hearing-impaired women named Mrs. Elva Janke made a request for one because her old dog had died that helped her with alarming sounds in her home. She reached out to cities to help get her request/point across. Agnes McGrath the inventor of hearing dogs accepted the request and help the deaf and hearing impaired people in the world.

...There was a Longitudinal Study done on nine deaf infants and twenty-one of them can hear that included an examination. The infants that can hear established babbling at an earlier age than deaf infant’s (Oller & Eilers, 1988). Under those circumstance we have to ask was the vacillate in language attainment by the infants that are deaf or do they acquire at a dissimilar speed than the infants that does hear. Nevertheless, deaf infants have to learn other methods of language, there is nothing demonstrating that they cannot. Upon researching deaf children have the ability to communicate in earlier stages, which is define by their environment. They used signed language and greater the exposure to the use of sign language the faster their communication skill would develop (Lederberg, Schick, Spencer, 2013). To grasp the sign language environment, it took another individual to participate in sign language. In the previous statement, social interaction does play an important role in this achievement (Friend, Schmitt, Simpson, 2011). Not to mention if there was no form of communication there would defiantly would have been a delay in the language development. Children from Deaf and Hard-of Hearing (DHH) were examined and their learning environment included key components for, instant programs they attended, the type of teacher that taught, and parents participation...

...about the reasons why we should have Pit Bulls as pets. In this paragraph, I’ll be talking about why PitBulls should be allowed as pets. The reason why is because they can protect their owners or anyone. They can protect you when you're in danger. For example, in Source 4 it talks about how they attack if there's a problem. One of the quotes is. Other breeds of dogs can attack people, these incidents go unmentioned in the news, even at the local level. They can also protect you by their barking. Their loud barking can intimidate other people or predators and scare them away. Another reason why they can protect you is because they are one of the “ Breeds” that are one of the strongest and buffest pets ever. Their strongest and buffness can already tell the other person or predator to not mess with them because they will know to not mess with you. For the most part, this is the reason why we should allow Pit Bulls as pets....

...Disability Etiquette: Engaging People with Disabilities Don’t let fear and uncertainty keep you from getting to know people with disabilities. Fear of the unknown and lack of knowledge about interacting can lead to uneasiness when meeting a person who has a disability. Remember: a person with a disability is a person with feelings. Treat him or her as you would want to be treated, and then let common sense and friendship break down any barriers you may encounter. Meeting a person with a disability 1. A handshake is NOT a standard greeting for everyone. When in doubt, ASK the person whether he or she would like to shake hands with you. A smile along with a spoken greeting is always appropriate. 2. Speak directly to the person with a disability, not just to persons who may be accompanying him or her. 3. Don’t mention the person’s disability, unless he or she talks about it or it is relevant to the conversation. 4. Treat adults as adults. Don’t patronize or talk down to people with disabilities. Likewise, don’t lavish praise on a person with a disability for having the “courage” to overcome a disability. 5. Be patient and give your undivided attention, especially with someone who speaks slowly or with great effort. 6. Never pretend to understand what a person is saying. Ask the person to repeat or rephrase. 7. It is okay to use common expressions like “see you soon” or “I’d better be running along.” 8. Relax. We all make mistakes. Offer...

...Kellie Hintz 15 May 2010 Writing 1200 The Human-Animal Bond: How animals enrich our lives The year 2003 started out the same as any other year. It was my second year in the Army and I was just beginning to get used to the demands of military life, when, all of a sudden, my unit got orders to go to Iraq. I felt as if my world had been turned upside down, and I had no idea how I was going to get through the deployment and still keep my sanity. About three months into the deployment, I was taking the trash out after dinner when it happened. As I was about to launch the bag into the trash trailer, I could have sworn I heard a cat meow. I thought, “I must be crazy!” I hadn’t seen a cat since I left the United States, but sure enough when I bent down to look under the trailer, there he was. Staring back at me was a cat that could have passed for my childhood cat. I doubted that he would come to me if I called him, but I decided to give it a try anyway, and to my surprise he came! This was the beginning of a three month relationship. I started calling him Marvin since he reminded me so much of the cat I had when I was young. For the three months I spent about 30 minutes a day with Marvin. He would usually show up right around dinner time. He always knew where he could find me, and when he did, he would come over and jump into my lap and lay down. He would sit with me for a while and I would pet him and talk to him about my day. Some of the people I worked with would come by and...

...American Sign Language, or ASL has long been associated with the deaf community, and for good reason, as it was created for those who are deaf, hard of hearing and hearing impaired. After officially being recognized as a language in 1817, it has been the standard used in most of the United States of America, as well as most of Canada. In recent years, however it has been used to teach infants how to speak, and as a tool for nonverbal autistic people to communicate. There are major differences between the ways ASL is used in these situations. Because it is now being used differently, like any language it is evolving to fit the needs and culture of different people groups. Nonverbal people and deaf people experience different challenges in their day to day life they use Sign Language Differently Because most nonverbal people can hear, the function of ASL in their daily life is much different than that of a deaf person. The three most important differences between sign languages in the deaf community and the nonverbal community are the...

...shapes, loan signs * Joyce strongly dislikes the ABC cards because it is not the proper way to learn how to fingerspell. * Her method is to unlearn the ABC’s and relearn them as whole units and not individual letters * Children with deaf parents learn fingerspelling as units not letters. They later learn the individual signs in school. * We have to change, and establish a new habit of reading fingerspelling as whole words based on the shape. The three C’s * Children go through phases- see as whole units, omit letters when fingerspelling, after learning to read and write they can then spell correctly. * Word shape= configuration * Closure filling in the gaps by making educated guessed * Context- anticipated or predicts what might be coming in a finger spelled word that idea of expectation or anticipation is very much like using what you know of the English language or what you know of the situation or topic of conversation to provide a context. Lesson Two * Research shows most deaf people look in the area of the thought to keep up with the whole conversation.to pick up the facial, body expression fingerspelling, and the overall space. * Practice sentence!!! “ The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs” * Stop or pause in between words to show separation. * Must concentrate to see the slight pause * Practice, practice, practice Guidelines to follow * Pam faces out towards the person * Helpful to learn to read fingerspelling...

His action would start a chain of events that would lead to a collision of all the characters in the film. Alejandro Gonzalez, would do something beautiful with this. His film is a liner motion from start to finish however, the film dose go in different mentions to the relative narrative of the film what I mean by this the film may be in a liner progress yet the character’s own time line to or relation to the film are not in sink.
