DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - March 3, 2020 -- inventions by the deaf for the deaf There was an article today that said disabled people invent things for themselves better than what non-disabled could do. Examples were the internet, the typewriter and the phonograph.   -- reason everyone fights ADA laws Why is there continued fighting over ADA laws? Attorneys don't agree on the language. The same goes for courts; Third, Sixth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits disagree with other circuits! The Department of Justice also has its own opinions. Is ADA a mess? Not really, but no one agrees on what the whole language says.   -- hearing aid table What is a hearing aid table? Do not know but The Michigan City Women’s Democratic Club is hosting an event, and has reserved a table that is called Hearing Aid table. What is that supposed to mean? Loops on the table for the hard of hearing? Or captioned videos on the table for the deaf? Or an interpreter for the deaf? Or is it "loaner" hearing aids for those that need to hear the speakers? So vague!     Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 03/01/20 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
