![]() Just as with the hearing population, cell phones, smartphones, and computers work well for text messaging and face-to-face communication. Although TTYs are historically very significant as the major breakthrough for Deaf Communication, VIDEOPHONES and CELL PHONES are now more commonly used. The dialog introduces the use of a TTY, the technology that opened the door for deaf people to use a phone for communication with other TTYs. We did, however, acknowledge the declining use of TTYs in favor of video phones by editing the section on "Communicating in Signs and Other Ways” (from ASL102, Lesson 6).The TTY (TeleTYpe), TDD ( Telecommunications Device for the Deaf), and TT (Text Telephone) acronyms are used interchangeably to refer to any type of text-based telecommunications equipment used by a person who does not have enough functional hearing to understand speech, even with amplification. Since this program is more for hearing students who want to learn the basics of ASL we feel that the method we have here is the best way to a full comprehension of the evolving language. We have tried to use the most commonly known signs that a Deaf person should know or at least recognize within the context. Like all languages, Sign Language evolves and changes….but also like all languages the basics and original groundwork do not change. School or organization must provide proctoring and supervision of tests and offline use of supplementary materials. Signed presentations of poems, speeches, and songs.Class discussion of relevant issues facing the Deaf Population of America and the World.Use items from the downloadable Curriculum Supplement (found in the Instructor Support page). ![]()
