Andreas Christian Møller
Andreas Christian Møller (18 February 1796 – 24 December 1874) was a Norwegian lathe operator and teacher of the Deaf who founded the first Schools for the deaf, school for the Deaf in Norway. Møller is therefore considered the "father of Deaf education" in Norway. The AC Møller Sign Language Center bears his name. Biography Møller was born in Trondheim, Norway, as the third of eight children to master shoemaker Johannes Møller and wife Ingeborg Christiansdatter Steen. Education Møller became deaf at two years of age as the result of smallpox. Attempts were made to restore his hearing through Galvanism, electric shock, which were unsuccessful. His education suffered during his upbringing due to his disability as there were no schools for the Deaf available nearby where he could be educated. The closest school for the Deaf was located in Copenhagen, Denmark and called Det Kongelige Døvstummeinstitut, the Royal Institute for the Deaf-Mute. Students were educated usin ...

Norwegian Sign Language
Norwegian Sign Language, or NSL (Norwegian or , ''NTS''), is the principal sign language in Norway. There are many sign language organizations and some television programs broadcast in NSL in Norway. The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation airs (News in Sign Language) daily and (Time for Signs) weekly. NSL is an official language as of 1 January 2022. Relation to Malagasy Sign Language The language is sometimes reported to be similar, or even identical to the sign language used in Madagascar. In fact, while Norwegian Sign Language may have influenced Malagasy sign language via the creation of schools for the deaf by Norwegian Lutheran missionaries, the languages are quite distinct. Out of a sample of 96 sign pairs, 18 pairs were identical between the two languages, 26 showed some level of similarity, and 52 appeared completely unrelated. It is not yet known to what degree the similarities are a result of direct borrowing, borrowing from a common source language (such as ASL ...

Fredrik Glad Balchen
Fredrik Glad Balchen (6 April 1815 – 24 April 1899) was a Norwegian teacher of the deaf. Personal and early life Balchen was born in Bergen, the son of chaplain Johan Peter Balchen (1783–1827) and his wife Christiane Wilhelmine Gulbrandsen (1789–1819). His early childhood was impacted by his mother's death when he was four years old, and his father's when he was twelve. He married Benjamine Walgerda Heiberg (1845–1926) on 16 September 1869, the daughter of Caspar Cappelen Heiberg (1814–1855) and Emilie Christine Hansine Bjertnæs (1824–1865). Career and education Upon finishing his examen artium at the University of Oslo, he started studying theology. Owing to his economic difficulties, Balchen started teaching at Ole Jacob Broch and Hartvig Nissen's Latin school. Balchen eventually applied for a concession to establish a deaf school in Christiania. The King had erstwhile announced a state stipend to a person taking an education suited for creating a deaf school ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Elias Hofgaard
Elias Peter Hansen Hofgaard (né Hansen; 25 November 1856 – 15 November 1906) was a Norwegian pioneer educator of the deaf. Hofgaard was born in Berg, Østfold, and was brother-in-law of Lars Havstad. Hofgaard had employed the " speaking method" on very talented deaf students with good results; still it surprised many when he declared that he would use the method with the deafblind girl Ragnhild Tollefsdatter Kåta, probably among the first deafblind who learned to talk. Hofgaard reasoned that a deaf and blind child would have most use of learning to speak (rather than using e.g. the finger alphabet). Hofgaard first taught Kåta to pronounce the letters, then to combine two letters into a syllable, and finally multi-syllabic words before trying to attach meaning to what had, until then, been presented as a complicated game. The first words used were: ('watch'), ('foot'), and ('table'). The words were associated with the objects over several days until Kåta understo ...

Oralism
Oralism is the education of deaf students through oral language by using lip reading, speech, and mimicking the mouth shapes and breathing patterns of speech.Through Deaf Eyes. Diane Garey, Lawrence R. Hott. DVD, PBS (Direct), 2007. Oralism came into popular use in the United States around the late 1860s. In 1867, the Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, Massachusetts, was the first school to start teaching in this manner. Oralism and its contrast, manualism, manifest differently in deaf education and are a source of controversy for involved communities. Oralism should not be confused with Listening and Spoken Language, a technique for teaching deaf children that emphasizes the child's perception of auditory signals from hearing aids or cochlear implants. History Early 18th century Since the beginning of formal deaf education in the 18th century in the United States, manualism and oralism have been on opposing sides of a heated debate that continues to this day.Winefield, ...

Lip Reading
The lips are the visible body part at the mouth of many animals, including humans. Lips are soft, movable, and serve as the opening for food intake and in the articulation of sound and speech. Human lips are a tactile sensory organ, and can be an erogenous zone when used in kissing and other acts of intimacy. Structure The upper and lower lips are referred to as the "Labium superius oris" and "Labium inferius oris", respectively. The juncture where the lips meet the surrounding skin of the mouth area is the vermilion border, and the typically reddish area within the borders is called the vermilion zone. The vermilion border of the upper lip is known as the cupid's bow. The fleshy protuberance located in the center of the upper lip is a Tubercle (anatomy), tubercle known by various terms including the procheilon (also spelled ''prochilon''), the "tuberculum labii superioris", and the "labial tubercle". The vertical groove extending from the procheilon to the nasal septum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
