What was life like for the deaf in the 1930's?
Life for the deaf in the 1930s was challenging due to limited access to education and communication. Sign language was not widely accepted, leading to isolation and exclusion from society. Employment opportunities were limited, and there were few resources available to support the deaf community.

What are the needs of deaf people?
Deaf people can't hear so they have to have people come in to teach them sign language. It is good to know the Sign Language system so you can communicate with the deaf person and bring a smile on their face. Deaf people want to just be normal like some other kids and when kids are nice to them it makes them feel good. It is good to appreciate the good things in life than focus on the bad things.

The main barrier between the deaf and hearing world is?
language. English can be a very difficult language to learn, especially if you can not hear it or of you have not been hearing it for most of your life. hearing children learn how to speak very young by listening to their parents, deaf children on the other hand cant hear it so they don't get all the language. if a child is raised in a signing family (the family signs) then they may, depending on the sign language used, have a hard tome learning English do to it being a auditory language.
How can you communicate with a deaf person besides the obvious sign language?
You can communicate with a deaf person using written notes, gestures, facial expressions, and body language. Utilizing visual aids, such as drawing or showing images, can also help convey your message effectively. Additionally, using technology like texting, email, or video calls with captioning can facilitate communication with deaf individuals.
What do you think being deaf is like?
Quiet. Probably annoying, since most people unless they're deaf, or are close to someone deaf, don't know your language. But probably also nice, since deaf communities are closely knit. If you're interested in learning more about Deaf culture or ASL, you may enjoy the book: For Hearing People Only by Matthew Scott Moore and Linda Levitan.

Is sign language good or bad?
Languages are not inherently good or bad, but there are different social perceptions of languages and variation. That said, I assume the question is referring to the debate about whether or not Deaf children should be exposed to sign language. Scientifically, it has been shown that children need full access to an accessible language to be able to develop cognitively and linguistically. The amount of spoken language that a Deaf child can access as an infant is not generally enough to allow full acquisition, leading to language delays and other problems. The first several years of life should be a time where a child is acquiring huge amounts of linguistic information, and if the family uses sign language, the child acquires language naturally and easily. Several studies have shown that the negative effects of delayed language exposure last into adulthood. Many people mistakenly believe that if a deaf child learns sign language, he or she will not learn English as well, but this is a myth. In fact, children benefit from bilingualism, and can learn English through various means, but a solid language foundation in sign language will help English skills, not hurt them. My point is that native first language exposure is crucial for language and cognitive development. Currently, Deaf students are behind hearing peers in academic skills. In countries where sign language is mandated for deaf babies (Sweden), deaf students perform on par with hearing students. So as far as Deaf children are concerned, sign language is a very good thing...
