Welcome!This website hosts my senior honors project for the Honors Program at the College of St. Catherine. Statement of Purpose:
This project is intended to inform teachers and the public about Deaf education, past and present, discuss the pros and cons of the different schools and teaching methods of the Deaf, and provide tips for hearing teachers with Deaf students. It also discusses my experiences at both a hearing college and a college for the Deaf.

Gallaudet University in Washington, DC (Gordon Dierauer) | About Me:I am currently a senior at the College of St. Catherine, majoring in Biology and minoring in American Sign Language (ASL). I am hard of hearing, have Auditory Processing Disorder, and am involved in Deaf culture. I use ASL interpreters in class and for larger group meetings and events, and prefer to use ASL with friends who sign. However, I also communicate fine (well, mostly) through lipreading and speaking. This works best in one-on-one situations and/or somewhere quiet. I spent the spring 2007 semester at Gallaudet University, the college for the Deaf in Washington, DC. |
