During this presentation, we will review and discuss data that was collected during the Covid-19 pandemic. Videos were gathered from interpreted press conferences that were televised in nine states. Subjects were both Interpreters and Deaf people who participated in activities designed to examine their comprehension of interpreted press conferences. Findings and recommendations will be shared.

Can American Sign Language (ASL) be helpful with a deaf student who has autism and no communication skills? A special education teacher asked me this question.
My response: Yes. Communication begins with receiving and expressing meaning. Like all languages, ASL establishes communication. However, be aware that American Sign Language and English are completely different languages. While using “sim-com” (talking and signing together) can help with communication, remember that sim-com is not American Sign Language.
For learning ASL, I recommend Lifeprint.
For improving reading comprehension, I recommend English by Eye videos. In videos from the playlist “1 word with different meanings!” Deaf ASL presenters describe real-world scenes, encouraging readers to figure out the meaning of each on-screen sentence.
In “10 faces in ASL!” American Sign Language helps with reading! ASL and English are not the same. Learn both! Find more fun videos on the English by Eye YouTube channel, supported by ASL Access, a 100% volunteer NPO.
Real-world scenes from everyday life help you learn English vocabulary, grammar, and idioms. This video is fun for ASL and ESL learners!
