Deaf Etiquette

• always request an interpreter if you are not fluent in ASL
• don't talk and sign, do fingerspell clearly, & do look in the eyes of the deaf while signing
• don't whisper in front of a deaf person

Pro Tips

• don’t take everyone’s signs as gospel, especially if they are hearing - they may not know the correct sign!
