-- a rare deaf job in the entertainment field
What is the rarest deaf job in the entertainment field?
It is voice-over acting. When one watches the cartoons
and hears conversation, it is called voiceovers. Anyway,
we have a deaf person who does voiceovers. It is Andre
Sogliuzzo. When he does voiceovers he uses special hearing
aids that are plugged into headset feeds so that he will
miss nothing.
-- a "deaf house" across the street from Gallaudet
About 25 years ago, former Gallaudet instructor
Bernard Brown came up with the concept of a Deaf House,
as developed from his years of experience in the home
improvement field. You can see the list at:

Anyway it was announced that Gallaudet is coming up
with a "town-gown" neighborhood across the street,
which is supposed to be 100 percent deaf friendly.
This concept is almost the same as the Deaf House.
The JBG Construction company will be building this
type of Deaf House Neighborhood, only that Gallaudet
calls it Town-Gown.
-- Fedex in a lawsuit
Yesterday DeafDigest briefly mentioned that while
Fedex gives a lot of business to a deaf contractor,
it is being sued for lack of accommodations. The
attorney told DeafDigest that there were no
interpreters for application procedures, training,
daily safety meetings, employment disciplinary or
opportunities for promotion, workers comp,
termination and etc. 19 deaf people are part of
that lawsuit. So is Fedex good to the deaf or
bad to the deaf? See what happens in the courts.
