Sign Language Interpreters – ASL Interpreters

  STEM = Science , Technology, Engineering, Math STEM camp caters to deaf, hard of hearing students  (Georgia Center For the Deaf and Hard of Hearing) Such a great idea! Across the Atlanta metro area, science, technology, engineering and math camps for the elementary through high set have become a summer staple, with high schools, […]

  From the Dalai Lama: “If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.” Just noticed a photo of Gene Simmons with the Dalai Lama…..both flashing the ILY (I love you) ASL sign. Next I saw a photo of the Pope doing the same. I’m starting to see this […]

  So I told Meredith about The Sign Language Company and how we help provide sign language interpreters …. needed to assist in communication between hearing and deaf people. Her first words were “oh….how wonderful that you help those poor deaf people”…… followed by “I can’t imagine not being able to hear music, or hear […]

If you are connected in someway with the Deaf Community (deaf, sign language interpreter, family, friend….), then you might often find yourself wondering “What if I were deaf?” as situations arise throughout a normal day.

  Just in case you don’t follow motocross, meet the fastest woman racer in the U.S. Ashley Fiolek … young, fearless, and Deaf since birth. “I don’t think the casual fan appreciates Ashley as much as someone who has ridden a motorcycle,” says Fiolek’s teammate Andrew Short, who finished third in the 2009 AMA Supercross series.

  ……….according to The Supreme Court in 1982.  Amy Rowley’s parents hired a deaf lawyer to argue their case in front of the US Supreme Court. There are quite a few “firsts” in this landmark case setting the foundation for the system we see today.   FIRST DEAF LAWYER GOES BEFORE SUPREME COURT By DENA […]

    He’s 26 years old and he is apparently more than just arm candy. Nyle DiMarco is making a name for himself and people are “listening” to what he has to say. Gallaudet Graduate , America’s Next Top Model, Dancing With The Stars, Amazing blue eyes… Who wants to be the first to call […]

  This week, Gallaudet University celebrated a new University President. Congratulations to Bobbi Cordano for this wonderful achievement! Thinking back, it made me remember my own experience at Gallaudet back in the 1970’s.   Can you imagine learning Sign Language at Gallaudet University? I compare it to taking Catholicism classes at the Vatican. I spent […]
