Deaf Male Model - Introducing Nyle DiMarco

WATCH [ASL/CC] - America's Next Top Model's first ever Deaf contestant on why he refuses to let his disability hold him back.

LOS ANGELES -- A model who is set to become the first ever Deaf person to compete in hit reality series America's Next Top Model has revealed why he refuses to let his disability stop him from reaching the top of the fashion industry.

Nyle DiMarco, 25, is set to feature on the upcoming 22nd season of the hit CW series, which was created by supermodel Tyra Banks. But while some might believe he is at a disadvantage when compared with his co-stars, the Washington-based model insists that his disability actually makes him all the more unique.

'I strongly believe that being Deaf gives me a huge advantage because of my native language, American Sign Language' Nyle revealed to Washington Life.

And, perhaps unsurprisingly, the fact that Nyle is Deaf certainly isn't the first thing that people notice about the budding model, who was contacted by the producers of America's Next Top Model after they saw him guest-starring in hit sitcom ‘Switched at Birth’.

'The show found me through my accounts on social media and models.com, which is where I showcase my work,' Nyle explained.

'Honestly, America's Next Top Model wasn’t something that I had ever really thought about doing before but when I spoke with casting, I thought, “why not!” The rest is history.'

While Nyle is unable to reveal how the show, which he has been busy filming for a number of weeks now, has been going, he hopes that his appearance in the series, no matter how far he ends up going, will help to inspire other Deaf people to pursue their dreams... Read The Full Story.

About America’s Next Top Model - Cycle 22 of America’s Next Top Model, hosted by Tyra Banks, will feature the third “Guys and Girls” edition. Selected men and women living under one roof will battle it out to earn the prestigious title of America’s Next Top Model.

American Sign Language Effects On The Brain

Deaf children need adequate communication to develop a healthy brain, experts say.

DHN's coverage story of the education and communication skills for Deaf children in the United States of America. Experts tell us how the brain works when it doesn't develop properly and when it does.

Their solution? Giving Deaf children access to both American Sign Language and English leads to healthy development and should be part of every child's learning process from day one. Next week we meet two women who did just that.

The National Domestic Violence Hotline partners with Abused Deaf Women’s Advocacy Services to provide a Hotline staffed by Deaf Advocates who communicate in American Sign Language and answer calls from 9am-5pm PST, Monday through Friday.

But what about calls that occur after 5pm and on weekends when the Deaf advocates are not available to receive calls due to lack of funding?

Instead, calls are routed to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, where hearing advocates answer using interpreters after hours. We need fully trained Deaf advocates that can answer using American Sign Language any time they are needed. Who do we want to answer the call? Help us expand our program so Deaf Advocates are able to answer the call, 24/7.

Deaf Mom Dances With Hearing Son Goes Viral

Interview with Deaf mom and hearing son connect through their language of dance.

Mark Villaver has danced behind some impressive celebrities like Usher Terry Raymond. But he's never looked better on the dance floor than in this video, where he and his mom throw down some super smooth moves to Usher. Mark's mom is Deaf, but judging by her flow, she has no problem finding her groove.

In the introduction to the video, uploaded to YouTube in mid-October, Mark asks his mom in sign language if she'd like to dance. She signs back, visibly excited, "Yeah!" prompting a dance routine which will absolutely knock your socks off.

Mark Villaver doesn't sign but he and his Deaf mom, Emilia, can always connect through dance. Deaf and Hearing Network sat down with Mark in California and his mom in Hawaii to discuss their love of dance and why they went viral.
