BONVILLIAN (1948 –2018) John Bonvillian was one of the early pioneers in the acquisition of signs by children with disabilities, beginning in the early 1970s, laying the groundwork for many future studies. He was one of the first people we approached to contribute a chapter about sign with children on the autism spectrum. At the time (2016), he was very busy as an emeritus faculty member in the Department of Psychology and the Program in Linguistics at the University of Virginia and a fellow of both the Association for Psychological Science and the American Psychological Association. He was also preparing his own manuscript on Simplified Signs. However, he kindly agreed to take part, and it was whilst he was writing for us that he was diagnosed with the illness that was to prove terminal. Typically, he was the first author to complete and submit his chapter. We are saddened by his passing, but we celebrate the inspiration he offered to generations of students and researchers. We are delighted to dedicate this book to the memory of a visionary academic, who valued both signing, and the lives of children with developmental disabilities.

In addition, names of Deaf and Hearing historical figures appearing in blue are briefly described in "Who's Who" which can be accessed via the Overview Section of this Project (for English text) or the Timeline Section (for ASL). "The history of the Deaf is no longer only that of their education or of their hearing teachers. It is the history of Deaf people in its long march, with its hopes, its sufferings, its joys, its angers, its defeats and its victories." Bernard Truffaut (1993) Honor Thy Deaf History © Nancy Rourke 2011 Introduction The history of the DEAF-WORLD is one that has constantly had to counter the falsehood that has been attributed to Aristotle that "Those who are born deaf all become senseless and incapable of reason."1 Our long march to prove that being Deaf is all right and that natural signed languages are equal to spoken languages has been well documented in Deaf people's literary and artistic expressions. The 1999 World Federation of the Deaf Conference in Sydney, Australia, opened with the "Blue Ribbon Ceremony" in which various people from the global Deaf community stated, in part: "...We celebrate our proud history, our arts, and our cultures... we celebrate our survival...And today, let us remember that many of us and our ancestors have suffered at the hands of those who believe we should not be here.

  • Communication
    Communication rarechromo.org Communication guide Communication isn’t just about speech. We communicate in lots of different ways. Speech, signing, pointing, eye contact, body movements, expressions etc. It can and is used by everyone, every day. This guide was written to help parents whose child has a rare chromosome or gene disorder, and includes ideas to help them to teach communication skills and to learn how to communicate with their child who has a developmental delay. Speech is a skill that children begin to develop as babies. Infants start by communicating through crying, then they move onto develop babbling speech which contains no real words. This can carry on for some time. For most children, their first words are made up of simple vowel sounds like ‘da da’, ‘ma ma’ or ‘ba ba’. Gradually children begin to use these sounds to form language but this can come at very different ages. As children begin to develop more complicated language, they produce longer words and can string words together to form a sentence. By the time they start school; most children have speech that is easily understood. However, some children take longer to develop their speech to a level where everything they say can be understood. Some children do not learn to speak at all and have to find other methods of communicating their wants and needs. If your child has a Speech – the oral sounds that are made developmental delay, speech Language - the use of words or gestures will often also be delayed, or Receptive skills - understanding language not develop at all.

  • SIGNALONG in Swindon
    SIGNALONG in Swindon What is Signalong? It encourages Total Communication. This means using a combination of speech, facial expression, body language, tone of voice and sign to communicate our message. It is based on BSL (British Sign Language) but only key words are signed. Key words are the important words that you want to emphasise in a sentence / phrase, for example: the dog is eating the biscuit. It is sign supported communication. You always sign AND say the word. This means that it will encourage language development, not hinder it, in any way. It’s similar to Makaton and Mr Tumble’s signs, but in Swindon we chose to use one system across all settings …that choice was Signalong. Signs are introduced in everyday, real-life situations using objects or pictures. For example, every time you give your child a cup, you would say the word “cup”, and use the sign alongside this. Why sign with my child? There is no evidence that signing holds back speech and language. Signing can help reduce frustration. It gives your child a way of getting their message across. develop a child’s understanding of words Signing helps to . Spoken words are fleeting and quickly gone. This can make them hard to learn. The combination of seeing a sign and making a sign can help children to remember new words. Signing will help to gain your child’s attention as they will look at the actions that you make. Signing slows down your rate of speech. Slowing down your talking will make it easier for your child to follow.

  • Deaf Blindness
    Deaf Blindness I see with my hands and I hear with my body. I feel what you see and I hear through vibrations. -Anonymous What is Deaf-blindness? Deaf-blindess is legally defined as "[having] concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes such severe communication and other developmental and educational needs that they cannot be accommodated in special education programs solely for children with deafness or children with blindness" (IDEA §300.8 ?[c][2]). A person who is deaf-blind is not necessarily completely deaf and/or blind; rather, the degrees to which deaf-blindness and its combination in individuals vary (deafblindinfo. org). While some may be completely deaf and blind, it is more common for individuals to have some degree of residual vision and/or hearing. The condition of deaf-blindness may occur at any stage in life: some may be born deaf and become blind later on in life; others may be born blind and become deaf later; still others might experience a residual loss of both vision and hearing (AADB). Additionally, some deaf-blind individuals may carry additional physical or cognitive disabilities, though this isn't necessarily a given. Depending on the degree of blindness, deaf-blind persons may utilize sign language or tactile sign language for communication; likewise, if there is some degree of hearing, individuals may choose to utilize spoken language for communication . What Causes Deaf-blindness? There are various ways that people become deaf-blind. Some ways include birth trauma, optic nerve atrophy, cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy. Some may become deaf and blind through birth trauma.

    ABOUT THIS ISSUE SCHOOL SCHMOOL WAS CREATED IN TIOHTIÀ:KE ("MONTREAL"), UNCEDED INDIGENOUS KANIEN'KEHA:KA (MOHAWK) TERRITORY, WHICH HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN A MEETING AND LIVING SPACE FOR HAUDENOSAUNEE, ABÉNAKI, AND ALGONQUIN PEOPLE. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF MÉTIS, INNU, AND INUIT FOLK ON THIS LAND. School Schmool is your radical guide to your often unradical school. In 1994, the first editors wrote, “When we say ‘school schmool’ we don’t mean to be dismissive. What we mean is that there are a lot of things going on at university, and school is only one of them.” Though it began as a bi-annual publication that brought together group profiles, articles, and practical resources for social justice, School Schmool is now an ad-free, corporate-free, agenda-with-an-agenda, connecting the McGill, Concordia, and greater Tioh’tia:ke communities.We hope to bridge (and break) the gap between academia and issues outside the classroom by providing a guidebook where students can find information on resources and initiatives taking place in their communities. We strive to feature content that presents radical, anti-oppressive, and intersectional perspectives on current issues, especially works by Queer and/or Trans people, Black and/or Indigenous people, and other people of colour. The theme for this year’s edition is THE TANGIBLE. Over the past few years, it's often felt like everyone was particularly exhausted. Instead of just talking about how shitty things sometimes are, we wanted to offer possibilities for concrete actions, and real ideas for creating radical communities. Sometimes engagement can mean learning how to occupy the McGill administration building (p.

    COMMUNICATION BASICS Section 5 Communication Basics |Alberta Hands & Voices Parent Toolkit Communication Options: Speech? Sign? Both? What is Best for my Child? Making a Decision One of the most important decisions facing a family with a child who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing is choosing a communication method (also called a communication mode). Recently a parent told us she was terrified of making this “critical, life-long decision.” This parent also wanted to know what the current research says about the best method of communication for children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Decisions about communication modes are not No one method has been irreversible. We encourage families to remain scientifically proven to be open-minded and flexible. The needs of your best for all children. child, and your family, change over time. Some families start with speech and sign language and later change to using only sign language as their child’s strengths and preferences become more obvious. Other families start with speech only, and then add sign language when they realize their child is not making enough progress. Still others decide to use speech only, and stay with that decision over time. Remember the Alberta Hands & Voices mantra: whatever choice is best for your child makes that the right choice. As you think about how your family communicates now with your child and how you would like to communicate with him or her in the future, the best way to decide is to: ➢ be open to all communication modes ➢ ask questions 2 Communication Basics |Alberta Hands & Voices Parent Toolkit ➢ talk to adults who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing ➢ talk to other families with children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing; meet their children ➢ talk to professionals who know your child ➢ discuss, read, and obtain as much information as you can about the various methods What Current Research Does and Does Not Tell Us If you looked through scientific journals to try to determine what is the best communication method, you might soon find yourself feeling very confused.

  • Hand-To-Hand Combat, Or Mouth-To-Mouth Resuscitation?
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2003) 26, 199–260 Printed in the United States of America From mouth to hand: Gesture, speech, and the evolution of right-handedness Michael C. Corballis Department of Psychology, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand. [email protected] Abstract: The strong predominance of right-handedness appears to be a uniquely human characteristic, whereas the left-cerebral dom- inance for vocalization occurs in many species, including frogs, birds, and mammals. Right-handedness may have arisen because of an association between manual gestures and vocalization in the evolution of language. I argue that language evolved from manual gestures, gradually incorporating vocal elements. The transition may be traced through changes in the function of Broca’s area. Its homologue in monkeys has nothing to do with vocal control, but contains the so-called “mirror neurons,” the code for both the production of manual reaching movements and the perception of the same movements performed by others. This system is bilateral in monkeys, but pre- dominantly left-hemispheric in humans, and in humans is involved with vocalization as well as manual actions. There is evidence that Broca’s area is enlarged on the left side in Homo habilis, suggesting that a link between gesture and vocalization may go back at least two million years, although other evidence suggests that speech may not have become fully autonomous until Homo sapiens appeared some 170,000 years ago, or perhaps even later. The removal of manual gesture as a necessary component of language may explain the rapid advance of technology, allowing late migrations of Homo sapiens from Africa to replace all other hominids in other parts of the world, including the Neanderthals in Europe and Homo erectus in Asia.
