American Sign Language (ASL) uses hand shapes, movements, facial expressions and body positioning to convey meaning visually without sound. ASL incorporates elements of mime and imagery and uses space and movement rather than a spoken structure. Key aspects of ASL include using the dominant hand to sign, focusing on the signer's face to read cues, establishing locations in space for people and objects, and using fingerspelling mainly for names and titles.
On Friday 7 May 2021 our Assemblies focused on Deaf Awareness Week and we are extremely grateful to parent Aicha Reid for providing signing videos which we have used in class each day. Our P4 and P7 Equalities Advisors produced their own signing videos to share at Assembly. Unfortunately, we experienced technical difficulties which forced us to abandon the live P1-3 Assembly broadcast which was hugely disappointing. We managed to get operational for the P4-7 Assembly and gave some information about deafness and hearing impairment and shared the story of Helen Keller’s life and amazing achievements. We will broadcast the Assembly to P1-3 on Monday and will first make sure all is working well in cyberland!

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility

1. American Sign Language is a
language that incorporates mime,
and picture-like images to
express and convey abstract
ideas and concepts. Also, ASL
uses space and movement to
convey meaning.
2. Did you know that
90% of Deaf have
hearing parents?
10. The most effective
way to communicate
with a Deaf person is to
use sign language or an
interpreter.
11. You should always use
your dominant hand to
sign. If you are
ambidextrous, choose one
hand as your dominant
hand and be consistent.
12. Fingerspelled loan signs are two to
five letter, commonly used words
that have their own unique patterns
of movement. These movements are
different from regular
fingerspelling. Instead, these words
have become ASL signs. Examples:
dog, OK, car, bus, bank, early,….
13. When you see a
fingerspelled word you should
try to see the shape and
movement pattern of the
word rather than try to see
each letter.
14. When you fingerspell a
word try to keep you
hand slightly to the right
of your face and below
your chin. Avoid
bouncing each letter.
15. Fingerspelling is not a substitute
for a sign. If you don’t know a
sign for a word, first try to act
it out, point to it, describe,
gesture, draw. Fingerspelling
should be used as a last resort.
16. Remember to use spatial organizing
when talking about people, places,
or things (referents) that are not
in the immediate environment.
Establish a specific location for
“referents”, name it, and then you
can refer to it again by pointing to
the same location.
17. To answer a question with a
negative response you can:
shake your head not, sign “no”,
answer the question with the
correct information, or you can
sign “none”.
18. • The typical grammar
for ASL is
time, topic, and
comment.
19. Did you know that in the
Deaf Culture when you
arrive late to a meeting it
is expected that you stop
and explain why you were
late?
20. How would you get a Deaf
person’s attention? Simply,
wave to the person or touch
the person. Other commonly
used modes are to flash the
lights or stomp on the floor.
21. What would you do if you need to
pass between two people signing? It
is socially appropriate to walk
between the signers. As you are
doing so slightly bow your head and
sign “excuse me”. If it is a group
of people signing it is best to go
around the group.
22. Did you know that when two Deaf
people meet for the first time
they usually share information
about what school they attended.
This helps them to establish their
ties with the Deaf community.
23. Deaf people strengthen their
social bonds by participating
in Deaf clubs and activities
such as, athletic
tournaments, churches,
picnics, and other social
events.
24. • When you meet a Deaf person for
the first time they will want to know:
1. your first and last name
2. whether you are deaf, hard of
hearing, or hearing
3. who is teaching you the language
and culture
4. where you are studying
why you are learning ASL
25. Name signs should be
EARNED by a Deaf
person; hearing people
should not invent their
own name signs.
26. Only a small percentage of hearing
parents learn sign language.
Consequently, Deaf children develop
strategies for communicating with
people who do not sign. Some
strategies are: pen and paper,
gesturing, lipreading, speech, adapting
signs to other (home signs) or using an
interpreter.
27. • Some strategies to help you communicate
with a Deaf person:
1. Let the Deaf person know you can sign
2. Let the Deaf person set the communication
pattern to be used
3. Avoid talking (voicing) in the presence of a
Deaf person without signing
Avoid “eyedropping” on other people signing
30. In 1864 the first
university for the
Deaf was established:
Gallaudet University
31. Sign Language hand formations
Hand shape
Hand location
Hand movement
Hand orientation
32. Bellringer
Many schools use a philosophy called
Total Communication (TC). This means
every type of communication including
ASL, lip reading, and oral speech are
taught.
33. Bellringer
The first school for the deaf,
the Institut Roual des
Sourds-Muets; (Royal
Institute for the Deaf and
mute) was established in
Paris during the 18th
century.
