ASL History for NOTES Review


Only 10% of Deaf people have Deaf parents and grow up using ASL.
The families of most Deaf people do not sign much or at all
Historically, many Deaf people learned sign at schools for the deaf,
from other students in the dorm. Often they were not allowed to
sign in class.
Early 1800’s – First schools for the deaf set up in the U.S. ASL
begins to develop as a language
1860’s – Sign language is banned in the classroom in Europe and
North America
1960’s - ASL was recognized by linguists as a unique language .
1970’s and 1980’s - schools for the deaf began using sign language,
and many hearing people began to take sign classes.
Late 1980’s and 1990’s - the Deaf community is recognized as a
cultural minority rather than a group of disabled persons. This is
based in part on the Deaf President Now movement at Gallaudet
University, the world’s only university for the Deaf. See link for a
video on DPN:
Deaf Culture - Goodbyes

You can sign goodbye using a small wave or by using the
sign take care. In the Deaf community, because there
are relatively few signing Deaf people compared to the
speaking hearing community, time spent together
signing is precious. Plans are often made to meet again
before parting, and shaking hands and hugging are
common. To the culturally Deaf, leaving without saying
goodbye to each person is considered rude, so give
yourself plenty of time to “make the rounds” before
you leave a Deaf event.
Accent Tip – Don’t add the separate sign for you when signing see you later or
see you tomorrow.
