Deaf Tuesday, Dec. 06, 2005 "Behavioral norms within the Deaf community differ from those in hearing society. A few examples of these norms, according to Lane, Hoffmeister, and Bahan (1996), are that people who are deaf value informality and physical contact in their interactions with one another, often giving each other hugs when greeting and departing, and their leave-takings often take much longer than those of hearing society." page 335, Exceptional Learners |
