HEARING ASL STUDENTS PLEASE READ:
The Deaf community welcomes you to learn ASL.
But, please do not take up space of Deaf or hard of hearing. Please step aside and make room. This not only means at a table but also in general... Also, please do not interrupt in-depth conversations. It is appropriate to ask during a break in conversation if you need clarification. But, if it is a private conversation do not interrupt.
Deaf space is reserved for ASL ONLY. It is reserved for Deaf, Deaf Blind, and hard of hearing.
We ask you to be respectful of the space we desperately need. Meaning use ASL and do not use voice.
We live in a hearing world 24/7 and we need a space where we can just be ourselves. With this in mind, no voicing unless by interpreter.
Absolutely NO VOICING during chat or social times.
ASL Allies are welcome but, if you come to social do not expect people to slow down their signing. Asking for clarification is ok.
But, if you still don't understand after continued clarification then sit back and absorb and don't interrupt conversations.
ASL Allies please continue to help us build a safe and fun space (e.g.: hearing CODA, ASL students, hearing partners or hearing interpreters)! Thank you for your understanding and support!
So check your attitude at the door, let your hair down and your hands fly. Young and old; tall and short; fat and thin; come one, come all and celebrate the richness and diversity of your fabulous community!
