French Sign Language

	Deafness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Members of Deaf culture use sign language as their primary language and often emphatically see themselves as not disabled, but rather as members of a cultural or language minority.
		Deaf students from one school have been known to playfully refer to deaf students from another school as "hearing" during athletic competition.
		Deaf is also used as a colloquialism to refer to a recalcitrant individual or someone unwilling to listen, obey or acknowledge an authority or partner.

		Deaf people write in a spoken language, not in an orthography of their sign language (although writing systems have been developed for some sign languages).
		There are two opposing perspectives on how to teach language to deaf people: one is that deaf students should be taught primarily in sign language (manualism), the other is that deaf students should be taught primarily (or exclusively) to speak and lip-read (oralism).
		Deaf students were outraged at the selection of another in a line of university presidents who were hearing, finding it patronizing, marginalizing, and inappropriate for such an essential part of the Deaf community.

	A Primer
		Deaf culture is based on the heritage and traditions of the Deaf community.
		Ninety percent of deaf babies are born to hearing families; the 10 percent born to deaf families grow up learning sign language very much as hearing babies learn spoken language--by observing (instead of listening) and imitating.
		Deaf people usually do not have private conversations where they can be "overseen," so a deaf person knows it is OK to watch for a pause in a signed conversation, interrupt with a gesture, deliver the message and leave.

	The National Health Care Foundation for the Deaf--now known as Deaf-REACH
		The substitution for that speaker was a round-table discussion of how churches for the deaf could maximize the effectiveness of their community outreach.
		When it was mentioned that deaf patients at St. Elizabeths Hospital (for mentally ill persons) were neglected and isolated, one of the retreat participants proposed monthly socials at St. Elizabeths for deaf patients.
		As treatment for the deaf patients progressed, it soon became obvious to the leader of this new unit that there would be a need for a group home where people released from the hospital could live while adjusting to life in the community.

		Deaf The community of deaf people who use American Sign Language as a primary means of communication.
		The rise of the Deaf Pride movement in the 1980s has introduced a distinction between deaf and Deaf, with the capitalized form used specifically in referring to deaf persons belonging to the community—also known as Deaf culture—that has formed around the use of American Sign Language as the preferred means of communication.
		In the case of fl, the decision whether or not to capitalize is essentially a matter of personal or political preference, while with deaf the capitalized and uncapitalized forms differ in meaning as well as style.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Education of the Deaf and Dumb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The term "deaf and dumb", so frequently applied to that class of individuals who neither hear nor speak, is becoming obsolete among the educators of the deaf, as it implies a radical defect in both the auditory and the vocal organism.
		There can be no doubt that from the dawn of Christianity the deaf enlisted the sympathy and zeal of many priests and missionaries who, by various ingenious devices suited to the occasion, taught them the essential truths of faith: but history has left meagre records of their good work.
		Among the efficient agencies for the promotion of educational work for the deaf must be numbered the meetings, congresses, and conferences of superintendents and teachers of the deaf, and of the deaf themselves.
