Day 14 ASD 2017 Amy Cohen Efron I am back!!! #ASL28Challenge Day 14 - Motif: American School for the Deaf "Ripple Effects : Past, Present, and Future" This is a CONCEPTUAL image of the history of American School for the Deaf starting with Old Hartford School, Gallaudet Hall with iconic cupola, and Post-modern Gallaudet Hall with Glass angular roof. It shows transformation of Deaf Education from the past to the future. The bottom of the image are butterflies which represents transformation of Deaf souls touching water causing the ripple effect in the United States by spreading ASL, Deafhood, and Deaf Education. These butterflies are in blue, turquoise, and yellow- that's Gallaudet colors (Buff and Blue) and also colors of the Deaf Flag. This is a rough concept and I will definitely work on it when I have time.

Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell had a daughter who was Deaf, named Alice Cogswell. She became the first Deaf student at ASD. Gallaudet went to England and met Laurent Clerc and then he went to France and asked Clerc to come to America. ASD started its first school in 1817. Kathy Fisher-Abraham Day 14 -ASD motif “Past Deaf founders respected and never forgotten” Topic: The memory of Clerc, Cogswell, and Gallaudet remains alive today because of ASL brought by them to America so that Deaf people/students could learn. 8x10 sketch pad, then added to digital photoshop to cut out the pictures of our founders with my original artwork. Because of them and starting the first school for the deaf- ASD, ASL is still being used and is very very much preserved.

Sorry for any inconvenience! But you can read on the internet, for more information about where Laurent Clerc met Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Alice Cogswell in 1815 - 1816. How did they communicate with young Deaf girl Alice Cogswell ... Here's the link: http://www.gallaudet.edu/tip/english-center/reading-(esl)/practice-exercises/laurent-clerc.html Look at this picture where I sketched with Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, Alice Cogswell and Laurent Clerc stands. They signed "American School for the Deaf" as spiritually. Rosemary Parker Edwards Day 14: ASD Media: Photoshop I learned that ASD is celebrating 200th anniversary/birthday this year. So I thought I could do a birthday cake with four people who had a big role in establishing ASD: In 1817, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, a recent Yale graduate and ordained clergyman, met the Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell family and their deaf daughter, Alice. Embarking on a voyage to Europe to learn the art of educating deaf children, Gallaudet encountered the exciting work of l'Institut National de Jeunes Sourds de Paris (school for the deaf in Paris, France). He then enlisted Laurent Clerc, a talented, young, deaf teacher to join him in a historic journey back home to establish the first permanent school for the deaf in the United States.

    [from The HeART of Deaf Culture: Literary and Artistic Expressions of Deafhood by Karen Christie and Patti Durr, 2012] The Chain of Remembered Gratitude: The Heritage and History of the DEAF-WORLD in the United States PART ONE Note: The names of Deaf individuals appear in bold italics throughout this chapter. 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.

  • The Deaf Do Not Beg: Making the Case for Citizenship, 1880-1956
    The Deaf Do Not Beg: Making the Case for Citizenship, 1880-1956 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Octavian Elijah Robinson Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Susan Hartmann, Advisor Paula Baker Susan Burch Judy Tzu-Chun Wu Copyright by Octavian Elijah Robinson 2012 Abstract This dissertation examines deaf people’s anxieties about their place in American society and the political economy from 1880 to 1956. My study highlights how deaf people sought to place themselves within mainstream society through their activism to protect and advance their status as citizen-workers. Their activism centered on campaigns against peddling. Those campaigns sought to protect the public image of deaf people as worker-citizens while protecting their language and cultural community. The rhetoric surrounding impostorism and peddling reveals ableist attitudes; anxieties about the oral method supplanting sign language based education for the deaf; fears and insecurities about deaf people’s place in the American economy; class consciousness; and efforts to achieve full social citizenship. Deaf people’s notion of equal citizenship was that of white male citizenship with full access to economic opportunities. Their idea of citizenship extended to the legal and social right to employment and economic self-sufficiency. This is a historical account of the deaf community’s campaign during the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century to promote deaf people within American society as equal citizens and to improve their access to economic opportunities.

  • The Methods Debate Within Deaf Education in Historical Perspective
    Signs versus Whispers: The Methods debate within Deaf Education in Historical Perspective with the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) as a case study. Melissa Klatzkow Klatzkow 2 Table of Contents: Introduction: 3 Chapter One: Prelude to the oralist movement: 9 Chapter Two: The Changes In Sentiments: 16 Chapter Three: The “Rise” of Oralism: 23 Chapter Four: The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind; St. Augustine: 33 Epilogue: 51 Conclusion: 57 Glossary: 63 Bibliography: 64 Klatzkow 3 Introduction Mr. and Mrs. Cole were like any couple, living in a typical town at the turn of the century. They lived in an average house and worked normal jobs. They attended church and were, for all intents and purposes, model citizens. Several years into their marriage, they had a daughter they named Susan. At first, the Coles’ were delighted—they had wanted a child for some time now—but soon they began noticing that their daughter was developmentally behind. Mrs. Cole noticed it first. She realized that, where her friend’s babies had begun to babble, her own was silent. At first, she brushed it off and decided to ignore it, but as Susan grew older and no speech became apparent, the Coles’ concern grew. Eventually, they took Susan to a doctor, only to have their worst fears confirmed—Susan was deaf. This shocked the Coles—neither had a deaf relative and Susan had always been very healthy. Their doctor began telling them about how their daughter would enter a residential school, where she would have little contact with them for most of the year.

  • Communication Controversy in Deaf Education
    Communication Controversy in Deaf Education Presentation by: Irene Tunanidas, M.Ed., M.S. Retired Deaf Educator, Deaf Advocate, Tutor Speech interpreted by: Karen Steed, Librarian Poland Branch Library Painting Credit: Nancy Rourke May 10, 2019 3-26-2019 History of Deaf Education The history of deaf education dates back to ancient Greece where the deaf were harshly oppressed and were denied fundamental rights such as: not permitted to own a property or marry. They were considered a burden to society and were sent to a sanitarium or put to the mountains to die. (Winefield, 1987) Aristotle’s Perspective of Deaf Children Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), ancient Greek philosopher, spent considerable time interacting with deaf children in Greece and determined that those born deaf were incapable of speech and reasoning. His words echoed throughout Europe until the 1500s. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Aristotle Aristotle Definitions of Deafness Hard-of-Hearing – refers to persons who experience a slight to moderate hearing loss. Although some may be able to understand speech, they may be prevented from conversing with those who are soft-spoken, and may be prevented from comprehending messages expressed over the telephone. Deaf – In 1972 the term “Deaf” began appearing in the literature pertaining to deafness. During that time, James Woodward proposed the idea that the word, “deaf” be capitalized when referring to a particular group of people who share a language – American Sign Language (ASL) and a culture. deaf – Audiologists use the term “deaf” to identify individuals who have varying degrees of hearing loss. This medical term means the individual’s hearing needs to be “fixed” through hearing devices https://lhac.com/hearing-loss/ such as: hearing aids or cochlear implants.

I thank Gallaudet and Clerc for their amazing journey, for what they did. The school is still here today and I'm so appreciative, as a deaf person, of what it has allowed us to achieve. When I look at deaf kids today, I hope they meet with the same success that we did." Chad Williams, ASD Class of 2004 Section 1 Language, Culture, Communities Label In 1817, a school in Hartford formed a new language, a new culture, and a new community. Led by a minister, a deaf teacher from France, and the parent of a deaf child, deaf students from across the country came together for the first time and began a project that would transform lives, open doors, and advance equality across the nation. Supported and championed by the hearing community around them, these pioneers developed a “singular, living, moving, acting language” (as they described it in 1827) that would become American Sign Language. Through signing, reading, and writing, they connected with each other and with communities around them in ways that had seemed impossible before. Two hundred years later, the legacy of the American School for the Deaf (ASD) is evident in a dynamic, proud, and global community of deaf and hard of 2 hearing people fully engaged with the world. Object IDs Reunion register, 1850. ASD Archives. This book lists the names of ASD alumni who attended various Hartford reunions, evidence of a growing deaf community.

  • Bust of Laurent Clerc First Erected at the Asylum Avenue School Circa 1873 Before Being Moved to the West Hartford School. the S
    Bust of Laurent Clerc first erected at the Asylum Avenue school circa 1873 before being moved to the West Hartford school. The signs at the base of the statue spell Clerc. Photograph courtesy of Lukas Houle. 200th Anniversary of the American School for the Deaf But for the intersection of four people—three from Hartford and one from France—American Sign Language and education for the deaf might not exist as it does today. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, born in Philadelphia, moved to Hartford with his family at a young age. His neighbor, Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell, had a deaf child, Alice. For years, conventional wisdom had labeled deaf people also “dumb” or unable to communicate and learn. Gallaudet and Dr. Cogswell, however, personally observed Alice’s at- tempts to communicate with her sisters and others around her. In certain areas of Europe and on Martha’s Vineyard, deaf people had learned to communicate through gestures and hand signs. Gallaudet, by this time studying to become a minister, worked with Alice to demonstrate her abil- ity to communicate and learn. Lamenting that no schools in America educated the deaf community as those in Europe did, the two men studied population information and be- came confident that enough potential students existed in New England and the United States to warrant an American school. In 1815 after a single afternoon’s efforts, Cogswell and Gallaudet raised enough funds to launch the first phase of such a school, sending the young scholar Gallaudet to Europe to learn their methods of teaching the deaf. It was on the trip to Europe that Gallaudet met Laurent Clerc, who, having lost his own hearing in childhood, taught French sign language to deaf students.

  • Laurent Clerc (1785 – 1869) Biography (ASL 2)
    Laurent Clerc (1785 – 1869) Biography (ASL 2) Louis Laurent Marie Clerc was born on December 26, 1785 in La Balme-les-Grottes, France. He was born in to a well known family. His father, Joseph Francis Clerc, was the royal civil attorney, justice of the peace, and served as the mayor of their village from 1780 to 1784. His mother’s father was a notary public in a nearby town. Clerc was profoundly deaf. When he was about a year old, he had been left alone for a few moments, in a chair by the fire; he fell and badly burned his face. The scar left by the accident inspired his name sign, two fingers brushed against the right cheek. His family believed it was the accident that deprived him of his hearing and sense of smell; but he may have been born that way. When Laurent was seven years old, his mother took him to a physician in Lyons, a city close by La Balma, to be treated for his deafness. After two weeks of painful injections of liquid into his ears, Laurent returned home with no cure. Laurent’s early childhood was spent exploring the village, helping take care of their cows, turkeys and horses. He did not go to school and did not learn to write. “My brother and sisters communicated with me in “home sign,” gestures that were scarcely more than pantomime but had become abbreviated with use.” (Lane 1984). However, he received neither an education nor an organized mode of communication. In 1797, when Laurent was twelve years old, his uncle after whom he was named, Laurent Clerc, enrolled him in the Instit National de Jeune Sourds-Mirets in Paris.

  • The History of Deaf Education and ASL Part 3
    The History of Deaf Education and ASL Part 3 1. Deaf Education in America Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, the young preacher inspired to help the deaf after meeting the little neighbor girl, returns to Connecticut from his research trip to Europe. With him is Laurent Clerc, who was a student and then a teacher at de l’Epee’s school in Paris. They start the American Asylum for the Deaf in Hartford, the first school for the Deaf in Figure 1: Deaf School in Hartford America. Alice Cogswell, the little girl who started Gallaudet on this journey, is one of their first 7 students. Their school, now called the American School for the Deaf, is still in operation. Though their legacy continues in Hartford, it reaches beyond to become an important element in American Deaf history and the history of ASL. 2. 1818: Eliza Boardman Clerc Clerc falls in love with a marries one of his first students, Eliza Boardman. Together, they have 6 children, all of whom were hearing. Eliza and their daughter Elizabeth are shown in the picture on the right. The “E” handshape is one of the first examples of an arbitrary name sign in American Deaf culture. 3. Martha’s Vineyard Figure 2: Eliza Boardman Clerc Martha’s Vineyard is an island off the coast of Massachusetts. It was first settled in 1664 by 25 familes from Kent, England. Though close to the mainland, the journey is very long, dangerous and irregular. But, the Island was self-sufficient for food and clothing, etc. and everything else these simple families needed.
