Subject: Deaf/Hard of Hearing Linguists Learning Phonology

 
Hello:

Our university is building some online courses relating to linguistics, and
there are questions about how deaf or hard of hearing students would learn
about phonological concepts. 

Unfortunately, some of my colleagues are a little skeptical about the idea of
a Deaf/HOH person being able to complete the course, although I know there are
Deaf/HOH people with linguistic training. 

The uniqueness of ASL and sign languages alone makes it critical that we
include this community in our linguistic courses.

Some accessibility guidelines such as providing captions for videos and
transcript for audio seem obvious, but if anyone is willing to share
information or insights on how students in this situation have mastered
phonology, I would be happy to learn more. 

My sense is that most phonology can be done without listening to audio, but I
could be missing something obvious.

If you want to contact me directly, I'm at elizabeth.j.pyatt at gmail.com.

I appreciate your time.
