Answer 2

EQ: What is most important to consider when assisting a hearing impaired person?

Answer: Changing up your signing style.

Evidence:

1. Some people are born Deaf or become Heard of Hearing over time which determines how they sign.
2. There are two different types of signing ASL and Exact English.
3. In order to effectively communicate with whoever you are assisting it is important that you can match their signing style. You can't really sign ASL to a person who signs EE because then they will have a harder time understanding you.

Sources:

1. Service Learning
2. Third Interview
3. Articles on Exact English.

The Product

My product thus far is understanding of the technical things that go into working with the deaf. Mostly I have gotten this out of going to service learning and seeing audio tests. It has also come from the extensive research we have been doing. This is going to help me when I get my interpreter certification.
