What an inspiration!
Wow! Technology has paved many new paths and accessibility for the Deaf and HOH as well as the general hearing population. Once the TTY/TDD dominated our communication channel but now that is changing rapidly before our very own eyes.
Learned about the various tools and trends one can utilized to advocate for the Deaf and HOH people. The latest cases the DOJ have resolved. Learned what is ethical and professional for interpreters when using Facebook, Twitter, and others. How about VRS Etiquette. There was information on Social Security. Did you know there are job openings for the deaf and hard of hearing in the Secret Service and other federal agencies? Found out the key concerns among most Deaf and HOH today are issues that are being addressed in H.R. 3101 and S. 3304. Yes, we need the same rights to attend movie theaters as hearing people but with closed captioned. Other chief concerns was Internet captioning, TV captioning, accommodations in hospitals and doctors offices.
Please stay tune for specifics.
