  • Sign Two Student: What is Audism?
  • ASLTeacher: Audism describes the mentality that to be able to hear and to speak is necessarily better and leads to a higher quality of life. On this basis, different forms of discriminating behavior against deaf and hard of hearing people may arise[citation needed]. Audism can manifest in different areas of life, done mostly by hearing people.

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

For any new ITP students out there- watch this and take it to heart. It is BY FAR the number one way to improve/expand your signing skills and cultural knowledge.

"Being a Deafie means that we have the ability to appreciate the visual world more than those that are hearing; to look at the things around us and see how beautiful they truely are. We can enjoy the beauty of a bird in flight which, surely, is much more breath-taking than hearing a whistle in the trees. :)"
