Attendance at Deaf events is an excellent way to improve receptive skills, learn how Deaf people talk about various topics, learn about Deaf culture, network with those who may provide valuable information in the future, provide reciprocity through helping out in ways that Deaf people are comfortable with, and even have fun (imagine!) Check locally with your NAD or RID Chapters for such activities as workshops for Deaf people and for interpreters, organization-sponsored events (see Professional development: Organizations), religious activities (see Christian Deaf organizations or Jewish Deaf organizations), plays, and hang-outs. To find your local chapter, contact your state NAD and RID chapters; see Professional development: Organizations. Be sensitive to the need for Deaf people to be away from the Hearing world and check out if you might be obtrusive. See also Deafness.about.com: Getting acquainted [with Deaf people]. For how to "behave" at Deaf events, see Professional development: People.
