Follow this link to see presenter bios.

This course explores the lived experiences of Deaf individuals across generations, highlighting how educational placement, communication access, and family dynamics shape Deaf identity. Through personal narratives and case examples, participants will examine themes including oralism, mainstreaming, residential Deaf schools, language deprivation, multigenerational Deaf families, disability within disability (DeafBlindness and autism), and the role of ASL in academic and social development.

By the end of this course, participants will demonstrate comprehension of Deaf Culture and Education concepts by accurately recognizing key vocabulary, historical references, and factual details presented in the narratives; selecting accurate summaries and explanations of cultural values, educational systems, and communication access issues; and applying Deaf cultural frameworks to scenario-based questions. Learners will also differentiate and compare educational experiences, language environments, and community influences across storytellers; evaluate how language access, policy decisions, and societal attitudes shaped identity development and academic outcomes; and identify overarching themes that connect Deaf history, cultural norms, educational practices, and lived experiences across multiple narratives, as measured through a multiple-choice assessment.

Recommended for intermediate or advanced ASL learners. This course is on-demand,  ASL videos with English captions.
