This was the phone introduction to Psul Ogden, CSUF professor. Paul Ogden is a deaf professor in the Communicative Disorders department. Like many people who have never had experience with a . deaf person, this reporter was.quite apprehensive over meeting Ogden. But what began as basic apprehension turned into knowledge of how one person has been able to turn a handicap into an asset. , Ogden was born deaf. He reads lips and he has' overcome deafness in many ways. Ogden is living proof of the philosophy that handicapped students can successfully compete in school if only given a chance. Graduating valedictorian front high school in West Virginia, Ogden went on to earn degrees in Mathematics and Deaf Education as well as receiving a PhD in deafness and education psych¬ ology. "I went to a 'hearing' high school. I bad to sit in front snd work really hard. I had to read much more," said Ogden. Ogden recalled one experience when he was in undergraduate school snd was having problems in a class because a professor had a full beard and Ogden was unable to read his lips. '} explained my problem to the pro¬ fessor and asked him if he could comb or wax bis moustache. The next time the class met the professor had shaved off his beard for the semester, just for me. 1 wss embarrassed but I worked harder to live up to his expect—ions of me," he ssid. Before coming to Fresno last year, Ogden had taught at College of the Sequoias in Viaalia. "1 really missed the university atmo¬ sphere so I wanted to come to CSUF," he said. Ogden teaches five classes in the Communicative Disorders department. In some of hia classes, Ogden has a student interpreter who repeats every¬ thing he says for those students who have trouble understanding him. In other classes he teaches, Ogden doesn't use an interpreter but lectures himself and uses sign language. Ogden feela his deafness is an asset to his student. '1 am able to tell tbem about deaf—ess and what it te like to be deaf," he said. Ogden'a students agree that hia deaf¬ ness to an asset to them. *lt really helps having a deaf teacher. If you are able to hear there is just no way you can relate to deaf people with¬ out this kind of experience," ssid Kathy Beggarly, one of Ogden's students. 1 feel I'm getting a great deal more out of fate classes. Not only am I —«ming the subject, 1 get to hear a deaf person and practice my sign language," said Wendy Westsmith, an Ogden student. "I feel it's imperative if you're going into deaf education and such good experience to have a deaf teacher," ahe said. gasset Both Beggarly and Westsmith agreed that'some students have a sense of panic ' after finding out they have a deaf teacher. "Your fir* reaction might be to automatically check out and get a hear¬ ing teacher but as soon as your panic subsides you learn a great .deal,* Beggarly said. Both girls spoke of Ogden's ability to relate to personal experience and his patience in explaining and' lepteteiug things to students as two of his better qualities. To help bring the students closer to the world of the deaf, Ogden te holding two workshops at bis home. The work¬ shops will consist of deaf people and students getting together and communi¬ cating. "We '11 be interviewing deaf people all day and this gives us the ability to go into their world," said Westsmith. Ogden is currently writ—g a book on the experiences of being deaf and will take him about two years to complete. The book will include experiences and relationships of being deaf. A foremost concern of the deaf is communication, said Ogden. "It takes a couple of hours before people are able to understand me,' said Ogden. You abo have to have the right kind of attitude to be able to understand the deaf person, some people put up psychological blocks so they can't understand, he said. "Eye contact is very important in communication and being able to under¬ stand, one student wouldn't look me in the eye and I thought he didn't want to talk to me," he said- Manual communication, sign lan¬ guage, involves more than just reading, books and learning a few signs, accord¬ ing to Ogden. "Learning sign involves body coordin¬ ation and the use of facial expression. Facial expressions take the place of tone of voice. Without facial expressions the joy of communication is killed," said Ogden. Ogden pointed out a common mis- conception; that just because a person is deaf they have unique problems. "I notice my problems are common among other people. The wont assump¬ tion you can make to that deaf people have their problems because they are deaf," be ssid. Ogden slso stressed that deaf people can't be classified together. Deaf people like hearing people are each different from one another. Ogden talks and tries to counsel deaf people, especially ones who ara having rough times,- trying to be empathetic with them. "I try to give them ideas on how to move on and try, mothering a deaf person is just doing them harm," he said. For himself, Ogden doesn't like people being sentimental about his deafness nor does he ask for sympathy. Ogden tries to do everything he can.
