“…It is stunning to see that even directors of schools for the deaf offered up their deaf students for forced sterilization, and even euthanasia, under the Nazi regime (Biesold, 1999;Ryan, 2002). This is a serious business indeed and one can understand why many members of the Deaf community are extremely sensitive about this topic (Baynton, 1998(Baynton, , 2016Biesold et al, 2004;Brockmann & Kozelka, 2021). To be clear, I am not in any way suggesting that present-day practitioners who support an oral-only approach subscribe to any form of eugenics and they all certainly strongly condemn the application of eugenic principles to deaf people that took place in the past.…”

As a child of deaf adults (CODA), this article traces my journey in the field of psychology and deafness, and points the way to developing a more culturally and socially responsive psychology that will be fully inclusive for deaf people. My lived experience as a CODA and the long-standing tension between the scientific, clinical, and applied aspects of psychology are described in detail. I document the early misguided conceptions about deafness which permeated my own career path involving psychology, research, teaching, administration, and advocacy. A major focus of this article is with the enduring harm that has been caused by the oral–manual debate concerning the role of hearing, speech, and sign language in the education of deaf children. I urge psychologists to contribute to the resolution of this destructive controversy. From a scientific and clinical point of view, psychologists are uniquely qualified to gather evidence and apply best practice concerning the role of various communication modalities during the early development of deaf children. In the context of equity, diversity, and inclusion and recent human rights legislation, it is of paramount importance to recruit and support students, faculty, and professionals who are themselves Deaf. This will include a commitment to intersectionality that will ensure that Deaf persons who identify with diverse ethnic groups and identities are well represented.

The DGS Corpus was collected in order to document German Sign Language (DGS) for linguistic research, compile the corpus-based dictionary DW-DGS and provide a cultural resource for the language community. Regional aspects played a key role in participant selection, data collection tasks and procedures, as well as in annotation work. Regional granularity implemented had to be a compromise between research interests, corpus size, and privacy issues of participants. In the lexicographic work maps are used to visualize regional distribution of single signs as well as of groups of competing synonyms. Maps are a tool for data exploration, and they support data interpretation as well as quality assurance of the annotation. As they provide an intuitive access to distributional facts maps are also an important element in the dictionary.
