The child was surprised by their reaction because they didn&#8217;t know farts make a sound. This created a wonderful and funny teaching moment for Trupiano.<\/p>\n<p>Trupiano shared the conversation on Facebook.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>While the discussion Tupiano had with her students was funny, it points to a serious problem faced by the deaf community. &#8220;I know it started with farts, but the real issue is that many of my students aren&#8217;t able to learn about these things at home or from their peers because they don&#8217;t have the same linguistic access,&#8221; she told GOOD.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So many of my students don&#8217;t have families who can sign well enough to explain so many things it&#8217;s incredibly isolating for these kids,&#8221; she continued.<\/p>\n<p>Tupiano hopes her funny story about bodily functions will inspire others to become more involved with the deaf community by learning sign language.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would love to see a world where my students can learn about anything from anyone they interact with during their day,&#8221; she told GOOD. &#8220;Whether that means learning about the solar system, the candy options at a store, or even farts, it would be so great for them to have that language access anywhere they go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hearinglikeme.com\/how-to-learn-sign-language\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Intersted in learning ASL?
