Did you know many Deaf children in Taiwan already learn American Sign Language (ASL) fingerspelling? Dr. Jean Andrews and Fanghuai Ku unpack Deaf education in a globalised world — how Deaf people acquire multiple languages, and why Taiwan is ahead of the curve in some areas.

We explore how Deaf culture is passed down, the vital role of Deaf educators, and why a janitor might end up being the best communicator in a Deaf school.
