-- state laws and the interpreters
It was learned that only 16 states require
ASL interpreters to be licensed. Also only
12 (of these 16 states) accept RID
certification as state license. What about
34 states that do not require licenses?
A big mess, it certainly is. A picture

-- movie punishment for being deaf
Movie scripts used to punish deaf characters because of their
deafness. That was true in Hollywood years ago. Not so any
more.
--- 23andMe and ancestry sites may look into deaf genes
Many people grow up without knowing their real parents.
This is the reason why these people sign up with
23andMe and ancestry other sites in hopes of finding their
real families. Cost ranges between $100 to $140. The
search looks for deafness genes, if any, as well as
with other non-deaf genetical issues.
