Deaf are not dumb

The deaf  people are not dumb.They can be trained to speak and trained to hear with the help of hearing aids.However,it is very confusing  for deaf children to meet and interact with other deaf children since there are different sign languages.The Americans sign with one hand,while the Britishers sign with both hands.Indian sign language is different from Australian which is known as Auslan sign language. Therefore if a deaf person meets another deaf person they may not be able to communicate very well.
Indian sign language is similar to Auslan and British sign language but there are many differences in signing the words.But it is not very difficult to converse with deaf people.Yes,there may be communication gaps but your message can be understood and responded to.It is like being in a foreign country and not knowing the language.Often it can be frustrating,at the same time it can be a challenge to get your message across.
