This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Ruben, cuya ponencia es en lengua de signos, narra su experiencia en una universidad americana en la que la Lengua de Signos es el idioma oficial, Gallaudet University, y por lo tanto muy apreciada por las personas sordas, en la que ha aprendido muchisimo sobre la lengua de signos y sus implicaciones internacionales ademas de hacer buenos amigos.Traduccion a cargo de Cristina Gambra y Gala Sulleiro.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
