Happy Deaf History month!!!  (April)

There are a few important hallmark dates celebrated every year by Deaf communities in April.

National ASL Day

Celebrated on April 15, the day in history when American School for the Deaf was founded in Hartford, Connecticut in 1817.

learn more about ASD here:  American School for the Deaf

Here are some great presenters briefly explaining different aspects of ASL. (with closed captions for non-signers)

Deaf LGBTQ+ week

Celebrated in the second and third weeks of April, usually alternating dates, with many events and celebrations to highlight the rich heritage of Deaf queer people everywhere. (has closed captions for non-signers)

Also, April 8 is noted, as it is the day in 1864 when Gallaudet University, the only university in the world specifically for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, was chartered.

Lastly, I should say that even though this is not (NOT) a post for sharing resources to learn ASL, I did want to add one final part which specifically relates to Deaf culture, & how to interact respectfully with deaf and hard-of-hearing people. It’s by Chrissy from The Essential Sign:

(and yes, you guessed it, does have CC for non-signers. 😉)

Happy Deaf History month!

I may not be winning any awards with this one, but I'm pretty dang proud of this little piece of art I created. Creativity has never come naturally to me. I'm a logistical girl...I do spreadsheets. Getting outside of that and experiencing something so unstructured and completely up to me was super fun! I think I'll do it more often! Today is also (not this year...you have until May)

Today, April 15th, is recognized across the United States as American Sign Language day!  This year to honor #ASLDay I asked Peter Cook, the marvelously talented Deaf Poet/performer and storyteller,  to use his skills to bring part of Kate's adventure from "The Ancient One" to life. I think even Kate herself would be amazed!

To read even more about the origins of this special day — and my own personal connections to American Sign Language — I invite you to visit my blog: https://tabarron.com/blog/celebrating-american-sign-language-day/

I was raised in a little town where the School for the Deaf and Blind was located. I never saw that as anything unique until much later in life. Learning about basic sign language and braille was just part of how I grew up. What we are exposed to as children is super powerful! I still know the alphabet and a few other parts of sign language. Today we celebrate Today is also
