	List of deaf people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is an incomplete list of notable deaf people.
		The Abbe de l'Epee was one of the first advocates for using sign language in deaf education, as a means to raise deaf people to literacy and to provide an avenue to an independent lifestyle.
		They are joined by many people on this list who, like them, were born deaf, used a sign language as their mother language, and were notable for their leadership and accomplishments.

	Basics of Deaf Culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Acceptance of a hearing person in the deaf community is often based on language skill, contribution to community, and understanding deaf culture.
		The deaf community is tight-knit; for example, deaf people are usually unwilling to reveal the names of their friends for fear of betraying a trust.
		Deaf people don't want to be thought of as being "handicapped." As a deaf person once said, "Deafness is not a handicap, it is a way of life!" There is nothing "wrong" with being deaf.

	Topic: Targeting recruitment of deaf people? (page 1)
		It is hard to identify deaf people by their last names which is the way foreign language congregations find "victims" in the phone book.
		That means either they are actually conducting studies with deaf bible studies, or going on return visits from leads from other deaf, or they will even look for signs on the streets that say "caution, deaf child", then try to find a deaf family in that area.
		I have seen people who are hearing but cannot vocalize well (cerebral palsy, e.g.) come and learn and be so happy to quickly communicate their thoughts and feelings in sign.

		Secondly, a problem is that very few deaf people like to be involved with the rights of deaf people in jail, from captioning TV to TTY use to interpreters, maybe because it is a taboo subject or maybe because it is embarrassing.

	EDUDEAF: Waardenburg Syndrome
		Some with the gene are totally deaf, and others are deaf in one ear, yet have completely normal hearing in the other ear.
		People with WS have a certain kind of look noticeable to the trained eye, but not so unusual that it is noted by the average person.
		Since the majority of those with the gene have little or no hearing loss, we believe that for every child we see with WS and a severe hearing loss, there are four to five family members who have relatively normal hearing but also have the gene.

		While some groups will specifically state that deaf dogs are allowed, some are a bit more vague (they will say that a dog must be "sound" or "not suffering from any deformity that may affect performance"), and these statements could be interpreted to bar deaf dogs.
