Little House on the Prairie
A teacher in my major (Occupational Science) brought this video up during our discussion of ASL. She found it interesting the way of communication then. I found it awesome that she found an interest in ASL. There were many things I was able to tell her about ASL that she was unaware about! Love it! She spoke about how many people are unaware of ASL in the world!

This is really interesting. I love how the communication from him is done through gesturing and that the kids are so receptive to what he is communicating. I had never given much thought to how deaf people were portrayed in media prior to the present time. I love how his role is very positive and that the kids repsect him and want to help him. Also, that the mother of the girls trusts him. I think this was a positive portrayal of a deaf person for that time. This used to be my mom's favorite show growing up, I am going to ask her if she remembers this character and if she does what impression that made on her as a child. Thank you for posting this :)
