Have a look at some of these resources:
Watchwords
http://www.techdis.ac.uk/index.php?p=3_23
Created by a team of deaf learners at Sussex Downs College has produced
media rich, interactive guidance designed to provide greater awareness
of deaf issues for staff within educational institutions. The Watch
Words CD is designed to share some of the insights we have gained by
working with deaf students and staff.
TechDis have been keen to be involved in the dissemination of the Watch
Words project. It provides practical guidance on interacting with deaf
and hard of hearing learners within a teaching and learning environment.
A range of video clips exemplify key points and - most importantly -
give specific insights into the learner's perspectives. The learners of
Sussex Downs College and their support workers were closely involved in
every aspect of the creation of this material.

Subject: deaf awareness video
I am showing a deaf awareness video called Journey Through Sound at a
session on Friday - it is good, but a bit dated; it was recommended by
Forest books - anyone know of any other DVDs or videos perhaps more up
to date< Brigid

Subject: Re: Dvds and mushrooms
1) To my knowledge it depends on whether or not subtitles have been
added by the DVD creator.
2) Try Forrest books for DVDs, CDs and other resources on Deaf Issues
http://www.forestbooks.com/pages/.
Your wild mushroom sounds interesting...
