Top stories about the deaf:
The deaf of Australia have been unhappy with the
government of ignoring their needs, making them
feel they’re not a priority.
The alumni association of the Louisiana School
for the Deaf has been dormant for quite some
time. It is now being revived, with election
of new officers.
The Greensburg City Council in Pennsylvania
has agreed to pay an interpreter at the rate
of $60.00 per hour for its next council
meeting at the request of a parent of a
deaf child. Two interesting things – the parent
is not a city resident, and while the parent
requested an interpreter, she did not explain
why. Not wanting to get entangled into a
lawsuit, the council agreed to this request!
Yet another lawsuit against a hospital in
Colorado for not providing an interpreter
for a deaf father concerned about his
daughter being hospitalized.
Legislative political squabbles in Idaho
is preventing the appointment of a substitute
chairperson that would oversee the affairs
of the Idaho Educational Services for the Deaf
and the Blind.

SMALL TOWN DEAF JOB SEEKERS
Years ago when times were great, it was not hard for
deaf people to find jobs, even in small towns.
A deaf service agency in the small town would refer deaf
clients to hearing agency that finds jobs for them.
Not any more. Both agencies have constantly been referring
deaf clients to each other, hoping the “other” agency will
find jobs for them.
Times have changed and this is sad.

THE FACE IS ALWAYS ANGRY
DeafDigest editor knows of several deaf people that always
look angry, even when they’re not angry!
It has alot to do with facial expressions, and it is
unfortunate because it scares away deaf people that want
to be friends with them!

WHAT DO INTERPRETERS HATE?
that a hearing teacher would tell the interpreter:
please don’t sign what I just said!
COMMENTS FROM A CART OPERATOR – continuing series
A question that people often ask me is “Who hired
you to be here?” What they are really usually asking is :Who is paying
you?”
Some people think that the users or consumers
of our services have to pay for a CART provider to be present at an
event. However, usually a college, university, court, company, or agency
will hire the CART provider because they are required to provide accommodations
or equal access under the law.
There are a number of laws that govern
accessibility for people with a hearing loss, including the American with
Disabilities Act (ADA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),
and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Some people with a hearing loss think that they could not use the services
of a CART provider because they could not afford to pay for them. But most
public and many private entities are obligated to provide communication access.
These include places of employment, public and private educational institutions,
and performances and events open to the public.
If you or someone you know could benefit from the services of a CART provider,
you may want to investigate your rights to equal access under the law.
A PET PEEVE OF BEING DEAF
hearing people assume that all deaf people are
expert lipreaders
(Every deaf person, no matter if it is ASL, oral,
Cued Speech, late-deafened, hearing aid user, CI user,
etc, share these pet peeves. You may laugh or cry)
