Shaylee Mansfield Instagram – Let’s get real here… everywhere I go, be it at a restaurant or store or wherever, some hearing people automatically talk to my hearing sister (or anyone who is hearing that’s with me)… they forget that they can talk to me and there are ways of doing that. Write it down, use your iPhone, gesture, point, or even better…learn some basic sign language. When someone tells a hearing person to speak directly to the Deaf person, take that advice from the start and don’t make them remind the hearing person over n’ over. #deafawareness #signlanguage #deafcommunity #americansignlanguage #bilingual #ourlife
