Answer 1

1. It is important to consider the prejudice that Deaf people face everyday.

2. In one of the articles I was reading they talked about how most people are surprised to find out that Deaf people can drive, or that they can do really anything that hearing people can do. Most of the time Deaf people are looked at as mentally disabled by hearing people because they assume that just because a person has a disability they are less intelligent then them.

3. I found evidence for my answer in I See A Voice, in a show that I was watching that shows the realistic side of being deaf Switched at Birth, and in an article I found called Deaf can do, can't do.

Service Learning

Currently I do not have a service learning person, but I am in contact with some places.

The places I am looking into are GLAD (Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness), John Tracy Clinic, and HEAR Center.

The first service learning that I am trying to get is working with GLAD and with that I have the email of one of the people that work for GLAD. The second is I have to number for Jill Muhes at the John Tracy Clinic. I was put in contact with these people by the people I was originally looking for service learning with, the HEAR Center.

I haven't started work at any of these places yet.

Edit:

I now have a service learning person.

The place I am service learning at is the HEAR Center in Pasadena. They work with people who are losing their hearing. I will be working with Alyssa Wasserman and helping in any way that I can. I will be observing audiovisual testing as well as speech therapy. I also will be trying to volunteer at the Hope House in El Monte for some extra hours.

I will be starting Thursday, January 26th.
