A man who can't talk goes into a hardware store and asks for scissors by moving his index and middle finger together. How does a deaf mute ask for a pair of scissors?

same way just use both index and middle fingers but with both hands.

"Three."\nHe was supposed to answer with the number of letters in whatever the doorman had said.\nThe word "ten" has three letters, so the correct password in that case was "three."

Hit the shift key 5 times in a row and it should come up again so you can deactivate it all together.  If that doesn't work, then go to the control panels to the handicap accessibility and its in there

Really tough situation. You need to teach them that there are symbols or names for objects or concepts and then you need to be able to have a way to relay those objects or concepts to the student.  Since 2 senses are eliminated, touch is probably the best way to reach these students.  I have worked with deaf/blind adults who either lost one or both senses in adulthood and therefore already understood these concepts or adults who were deaf/blind since childhood but already understood these concepts.  We used fingerspelling directly into the person's palm, for those who knew the letters of American Sign Language (ASL) or for those who didn't we traced the outline of the uppercase letters directly into their palms.  Of course, Braille is another option, if the person already understands it.  Good luck.

This is so, well, mean.  A mentally retarded person, who is blind and deaf would most likely be in a home of some sort.  There would be ways of communication.  \n\nAnd it is most likely that this person is not mentally retarded, but is called "dumb" because of the lack of formal education that is suited to his needs.  There is a special form of sign language that is used for people who are both deaf and blind.

X & Y talk is the right answer.\n\nwe say : he talks - X talks - Y talks\n         they talk - X&Y Talk

There is some good advice listed above.\n\nNetworking with other deaf people is a good way to hear about companies that hire the deaf.\n\nChecking with the State Department of Rehabilitation or Disabled Services or whatever its called in your state is probably the best idea.\n\nHow are his sign language abilities? A deaf friend of mine just graduated from college and she is now a substitute teacher at the state school for the deaf. Another deaf friend has very little education and he is a stock man at a warehouse.\n\nMy wife is very hard of hearing and she makes a very good living as a computer software consultant, most of which is done at home in front of a PC.\n\nHelp him to stay positive and have confidence in himself. Deaf people can do anything they want, except hear.

He can't figure out how to turn the earpiece on.\n\nHence the long pauses and dumb-founded looks.\n\nThe villiage in Texas doesn't want the idiot back. Send his a*ss to Iraq. He needs to fight his own war.

I think all that is left is charades. The blind guy taps the deaf one on the shoulder. He then pantomimes dying (maybe clutching his throat in agony and falling down). As he is doing that the deaf guy speaks out what he thinks is happening. When he is right about something the blind guy can nod his head in agreement. Obviously the deaf guy at some point will realize it is about death. The next question is who. If the blind guy starts by pointing to the deaf guy then they know it is about someone known to that deaf guy. Again the deaf guy can say what he thinks and the blind guy can shake his head yes or no until the info gets across.

It sounds like discrimination no matter how you describe it or what they advise you to do or not to do. I would contact your local disabilities office and report the discrimination... they would then be able to give you the best advice on how to proceed.

ask the person in the other room if he said something.\ndoes it happen when no one else is around,tv and radio off?\nwhat does the voice say? is it the same thing over and over? is it telling you to do something? (do something you usually wouldn't) or just talking in general stuff?\nmy brother hears voices and has for over 20 years. he's on meds which helps, but stress brings them out more so his meds are constantly changing dosages.\n\nwe love him and would not change him for anything. he's the most wonderful, kind, giving, loving, gentle, human who ever walked this earth.
