DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - March 20, 2019
-- no interpreter during Bomb Cyclone weather
The Rocky Mountain ADA Center said there was no
interpreter on weather emergency news during
last week's Bomb Cyclone weather that hit
Colorado Springs hard. What was the excuse?
The director of the Pikes Peak Regional Office
of Emergency Management said no time to
get an interpreter - plus - too dangerous to
bring the interpreter to the TV studio.
The ADA center said excuse is not valid.
-- an important job not heavily in demand
An important job that not too many businesses
and agencies hire is ADA/disability rights specialist.
This may be the reason for so many ADA lawsuits!
-- can talk but prefer notes
At a museuem in Georgia, there was a deafness
theme and a late-deafened artist created a program
that emphasized communications through notes
instead of voice. This purzled DeafDigest because
the artist became deaf because of a childhood
accident, yet was still able to continue with his
speech skills. If a deaf person still can speak, so
why ask for note-taking communications?
