By the age of seven years old, he was blind; his mother put him in a state-sponsored school called the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine, Florida. That school taught him to write and arrange music with Braille, and read. Charles learned how to play piano, sax, organ, trumpet, and clarinet. He was just an all-around music mogul.

Prior to reading these chapters I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I have never really been exposed to the Deaf- World. I have watched shows such as Switched at Birth, but I know that it doesn’t completely portray the real Deaf- Community. I was extremely interested in seeing their side of the story and gaining insight on the life they live. I decided to read chapters one, and two.

He, along with Thomas Gallaudet, is considered as two pioneers that would help bring deaf people together by learning about sign language in the United
I found Deaf Again to be both a very saddening and uplifting autobiography. It was saddening how hard it is for a deaf or Hard of Hearing person to both be part of or even mesh with the hearing community.i find it uplifting because he found his plot on life and he has a place that he feels is satisfactory to live in. I did find one piece of information very interesting though. that was that while he was born being able to hear and was not deaf. the fact that his parent were deaf caused him to become hard of hearing.
It all began in 1856 when Amos Kendall became the guardian of some blind and deaf children who were not properly cared for. He set up a school and house for them, and then Edward Gallaudet took on from there as the school superintendent. The next year, Congress permitted the school to start. It was called The Columbia Institution for the Deaf and the Dumb and the Blind.

While watching “History: Through Deaf Eyes” by PBS, I learned a lot about deaf culture and history. I already knew about certain events, like the rise of oral teaching and the protest for Gallaudet; however, listening to the stories from people who experienced these events gave me appreciation I did not have before. Also, learning how technology shaped deaf history was also very interesting, as well as the various options for deaf children today. The rise of oral teaching was a part of history I briefly learned about when I was younger, but I never fully understood it until watching the movie.
The other discussion that Thomas’ parent had to make is whether to educate their son in sign language versus strictly verbal speech. Both Thomas’ parents have different opinions on teaching him ways to communicate. The beginning of the movie, his parents had decided to enroll Thomas in hearing school so that he could learn to communicate with the hearing world that his family lived in. His mother also thought that by enrolling him in a teaching based classroom supported by sign would be an easier route for Thomas considering that he was deaf. Thomas’ father had then begun his research to figure out ways to unlock Thomas’ speech capacities and the outcome of those choices.
Inside Deaf Culture Inside deaf culture is a very strong book written by carol Padden and tom Humphries in this book authors have tried to give a tour of the most important moments that has shaped the Deaf culture.

He was the last of the seven children of Samuel and Nancy Edison. At an early age Thomas developed scarlet fever along with an ear infections which left him partially deaf in both ears.

People say that a picture or piece of artwork is worth a thousand words. That seems to hold true to Kendra Harness’ artwork. Kendra Harness is a deaf artist, who produced a piece of art by the name of Positive/Negative, made in 1989. Positive/Negative profoundly shows physical deaf experience, it focuses on the eyes and it includes blue and white, with one eye being in a negative format and the other not. Positive/Negative displays deaf experience in a physical way.
There are many people who affect the blind and deaf community. So many people dedicate their lives to improving the blind and deaf circumstances in this world. Although none of them can come close to being compared to Helen Keller. She had some of the greatest accomplishments of a blind-deaf person. She was the first person with deafblindness to earn a college degree, Keller paved the way for people who struggle with problems like what she dealt with today.
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was really big in Starting Gallaudet University it all started when he was playing and his brother and his sister were not playing with another child Thomas went up and tried to talk to the girl Alice but he didn’t know how to communicate with her so he grabbed his hat off of his head and wrote H-A-T in the dirt and she understood and he was inspired to teach other children. Since there were no schools for the deaf, Thomas traveled to England and operated with family schools of deaf students he tried to teach the kids to read lips but it was hard for them to understand.
