Beyond timely availability of Interpreter and the rest, we must understand that having a sign language interpreter to interpret to the Deaf on an occasion does not singly mean access. If it does not convey the needed message with precision; if it does not consider the language ability of the Deaf audience, if it does not consider the peculiarity of the language environment, then, it is mere exercise, not access to the Deaf.

During the pandemic, when we wanted to put out information, the interpreter was mixing up the oxygen mask sign with the ventilator sign because he didn’t know the difference between the two. It is important that teachers and interpreters of sign language have subject related qualifications in order to communicate any message. For this, equivalent vocabulary has to be available in Sign language. For this, it has to be built. Together. *and it has to be shared widely with everyone to use correctly. (Edit)

For most of us, our understanding of Deaf and deaf-blind culture is limited, but it doesn’t need to be. So THANKFUL to the deaf teachers I’ve had who have shared their culture through the teaching of ASL. If you want to learn ASL, learn from a deaf person! This is a great video highlighting some of the misconceptions deaf people face every day. https://lnkd.in/gXYv9mdU

✋ Trusted Marketing Support For Deaf & Hard of Hearing Business Owners ✋ Proud To Work Side By Side With The Deaf Community ✋ 30 Plus Years In Marketing
This week is Deaf Awareness Week. I am lucky to work with Deaf business owners on (the marketing-side). Here are just three important things to remember when you meet a Deaf person. 1. Don’t be frightened (sadly my Deaf friends/colleagues say this still come across this) 2. Look at them and not the interpreter (who’s there for you, not them). 3. Speak normally. There are lots of other Deaf Awareness tips I haven’t shared. There is a wealth of talent in the Deaf community. Communication shouldn’t and mustn’t be a barrier. - Behind me are just of the organisations my Deaf clients are working with. #DeafAwarenessWeek #DeafAwareness
