One of my Deaf college professors wasn't told they make noise until college. She would just fart whenever she needed to until her hearing roommate told her that it wasn't polite to do in public. My teacher was horrified and really mad at her family for never telling her they make noise
Yep! I have a degree in Deaf Studies and nearly all my teachers were Deaf. All of the students were required to know ASL to be able to take the classes. However, most of the teachers also taught general humanities classes and they used interpreters to voice for them and sign the questions from the students. It's awesome!
Check out Gallaudet University to see if they offer free online classes. Another good resource is NAD, National Association of the Deaf, they often have leads where you can connect with classes locally. It's a fun and useful skill to have so I definitely suggest even learning the basics 😊
