Gilda Ganezer is an ASL expert, co-creator, lyricist, co-producer, choreographer and sign model for DVDs at Everyday ASL Productions. With over 25 years of ASL teaching experience, Ms. Ganezer has trained teachers, students and ASL researchers the fundamentals of the language. Along with Avery, series of ASL curriculum for colleges, universities as well as adult education and programs were developed and are still in use today. She co-authored several instructional books on ASL and trained dozens of teachers teaching techniques with these books. Co-developed and directed ASL/English Idioms and their Translations videotape/workbook set, which was one of the best-selling set teaching the essentials of using idioms in various situations and dialect. Ms. Ganezer train teachers the methods of teaching ASL/English idioms with signing accuracies and precision (i.e. exhibiting ‘accents’ while expressing idioms). Also taught accredited ASL courses at Long Island University at C.W. Post. Ms. Ganezer developed and coordinated ASL and Deaf Culture curriculums, including Vista’s Signing Naturally series and A Basic Course in American Sign Language, which were then integrated and taught at nationwide ASL conferences for over 5 years that attracted hundreds of attendees from all parts of the world. Ms. Ganezer is proficient in teaching students, particularly the novice ones with minimal exposure to the language or Deaf Culture, the fundamentals of ASL grammar and sentence structures while promoting cultural and lingual respect among Deaf and hearing peers. She specializes in the fields of Deaf Interpreting working with interpreters as a team for Deaf people with minimal language skills.
As a victim of abuse, Ms. Ganezer uses every effort as an animal rights supporter and is a dedicated animal activist. Ms. Ganezer uses all of her energies in teaching individuals about how each and every animal has feelings; particularly about how some animals may lack facial expressions or the ability to convey their message across, similarly the way Ms. Ganezer was unable to express all her life about the mistreatments she had endured. She is one of the first to ensure that Everyday ASL Productions would be committed in donating a part of all net proceeds to various animal-caring organizations. In the past, Ms. Ganezer had given up her business and daily routines to care for a canine with a rare form of cancer by creating and hand feeding specially made healthy diets, day by day, for over 7 years. These experiences have given Ms. Ganezer the opportunity to teach others, along with Avery, the world of ASL, healthy everyday living and especially compassion.
