Title:
Advanced ASL: Deaf Services — What They Are & Serious Problems
Film Description
This advanced ASL training focuses on a deeply real part of Deaf life: services that exist because we are Deaf—and the serious problems that often come with them. Many Deaf people are told that services are “available,” yet in real life those services are delayed, denied, incomplete, or fail at the most critical moments.
Rather than teaching laws or technical policy language, this film teaches how Deaf people actually talk about services in everyday life—what is offered, what is missing, what breaks down, and how it feels emotionally to face these barriers again and again. The training uses natural ASL structure, clear storytelling, and lived experience to show how to explain access issues, service failures, and the emotional toll they create.
Designed for advanced ASL students, interpreters, educators, and Deaf adults, this film helps viewers communicate these experiences clearly, accurately, and authentically in real conversations.
