DeafDigest - 06 December 2019

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - December 6, 2019 -- upon learning child is deaf What do some hearing parents do upon learning that their child is deaf? They may learn ASL, may learn about deaf schools, may learn about counselors that work with deaf children, may learn about these teachers of the deaf, network with other parents of deaf children, and so on.   -- waiting months in advance for a great interpreter It is hard to believe. If a deaf person wants the best interpreter, he has to make reservations and wait several months in advance. This is not a joke!   -- rare deaf person in construction trades There are not too many deaf people in the construction trades field. Discrimination or disinterest by the deaf? Do not know, but there was a newspaper story today about a construction company in Vermont having a deaf employee and the management enrolling him in classes and workshops to teach him more skills in this field.     Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 12/01/19 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
