I play senior softball and an individual who played on one of the teams in our league has joined our every day pick-up ball group.He is totally deaf but I believe he can read lips. It's hard for everyone to understand what he is communicating to us so he tries to make it simple and rudimentary.So, I've decided to try to learn ASL in an attempt to be able to converse with him on a level he can understand. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has experience in ASL in dealing with anyone they know is deaf.
