“Deaf Can!” So Say The Rohana Special School Children!

During one lesson in the Deaf Studies class, I showed them a short video from California School for the Deaf’s Middle School PAH! Day celebration. The children were so inspired that they wanted to make a video themselves. I suggested the “Deaf Can!” theme and they ran with it. About half of the footage were filmed by the children themselves!

Watch the children of Rohana Special School proudly proclaim, “DEAF CAN!”

    Wow - watched it twice - I watched their faces carefully and it is clear that they are inspired by your (Adam) presence. We are fortunate to have you over to teach Deaf people in other country that Deaf Can! Thanks for sharing!!

    I had goosebumps and a wide grin all throughout watching this video. A stark contrast to AG Bell’s insistence that Deaf people will not be independent through Sign Language (was bombarded plenty with that meme last weekend, ok?)– to see Deaf kids happily and proudly declare that they CAN!

    Thanks!

    : ))) This really shows the immense power of a Deaf role model (you) and “peer to peer” impact by your showing the video of CSDF PAh! Day of other students…. *hands waving*
