Deaf people applaud by raising their hands in the air and wringing them back and forth. They don't clap because they can't hear the clapping. Clapping doesn't make sense to deaf people.

Also, clapping is similar to the sign for school so it looks like you're signing "school school school school!" to them. lol Most deaf people know if a hearing person is clapping that they're not shouting school at them though.

You may have seen the 'deaf clap' in action. A deaf clap looks a bit like this. Hold your hands up (approximately level with your ears) about twelve inches apart with your palms facing each other and shake your hands back and forth (think 'jazz hands.')

A Deaf interpreter is a Deaf person who is a native user of (ie) American Sign Language-ASL, and a member of the Deaf community. The interpreter can work as a bridge between a Deaf person, an interpreter and the non- signing hearing person.
