Deaf Etiquette
Do's and Don'ts

Slide 9 - Slide

DO's
  • During introductions, always introduce yourself first and use the sign language alphabet to fingerspell your name. The Deaf Community gives name signs to people. Those who can hear don’t invent their own, nor do they give name signs to each other.
  • When fingerspelling or signing, keep a steady hand. Your signs are easier to read when your hand is not shaking.
  • Maintain eye contact and make your approach (non-signers may view this action as staring and think that it is rude, but in the world of sign, making and maintaining eye contact is a necessary common practice).

Slide 10 - Slide

DONT'S
  • Don’t grab or poke when you walk up behind a Deaf person. This action is commonly used as a warning that something is wrong or in an emergency.
  • When you see two people are signing secretly, don’t stare. They might be having a private conversation.
  • .If you are out for a meal with a Deaf person, don’t order for them unless you are asked. They are accustomed to pointing at an item on the menu to the server.
  • Never initiate a conversation about a Deaf person’s hearing loss. Questioning implies that you don’t view that person as a whole, but broken, incomplete, or inferior. It is a sensitive subject.
