Yes very good because I can now appreciate the significance of the subtle orientations of the hands in space.... complementary to the facial expressions....and the the hands in relation to the chest as they make the differnt signs. Just as intricate and complext as spoken communication.

Really insightful course into the deaf awareness, really helped me understand the potential barriers faced by deaf people in our society.
By Sarah Swadling on 9/24/2024
The course was really engaging and informative. Was set at a good pace for people who have limited knowledge about the topic, such as myself. This course really opened my eyes to the factors which influence deaf peoples' lives.

This course was beneficial as it helped me understand the deaf culture from a more progressive, intrinsic view, rather than just hearing and knowing a medical perspective. It was also helpful to learn how to better accommodate a person who is deaf or H.O.H without inconveniencing them.

Really enjoyed this course. It provides useful examples of what issues our Deaf or Hard of Hearing community members can encounter, and how we can easily reduce the barriers to full participation.
By Marie Hopkins on 1/23/2022
This is a great course with clearly explained perspectives and shared in a way that is open and careful to inform in a way that everyone can be receptive to. :) I intend to share it with others I know, in my workplace or other social groups as well where people would benefit from a greater understanding of Deaf culture and life experiences.
