When I visited Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., {it is the only university in the world for deaf and hearing-impaired students} and talked about the "hearing impaired," one of the deaf students signed, "Why don't you look at yourself as sign impaired?"4 It was a very interesting turning of the tables, because there were hundreds of students all conversing in sign, and I was the mute one who could understand nothing and communicate nothing, except through an interpreter.
