A mainstream program for the Deaf is when instead of Deaf children going to all-Deaf schools, they go to a nearby public school using sign language interpreters, note-takers, speech therapy lessons, etc. Sometimes public schools have what's called a 'resource room', in which Deaf students in the mainstream program can go to this room, which is focussed and centered on the Deaf so that if they are not able to take say, a Science class out in the mainstream/regular classes, they can take a science course in the Deaf resource room which will be in either all sign language, or using special microphones with headphones and/or hearing aids, etc. Also, there are other Deaf within these resource rooms, which allows for easier communication between others who know sign language. Hope this helps. :-)

Why did the deaf culture turn on marlee matlin?

Some felt that her success in mainstream media overshadowed the experiences and perspectives of the Deaf community, particularly regarding the importance of American Sign Language (ASL) and authentic representation. Additionally, her relationships with hearing individuals and her participation in projects that were not exclusively Deaf-focused led to perceptions that she was distancing herself from her cultural roots. This tension reflects broader discussions about representation and identity within marginalized communities.
