DeafDigest - 21 May 2020

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - May 21, 2020 -- at least $50,000 to make ADA people happy ADA requires all web sites to be deaf-accessible (captions and/or ASL). For years and years ADA people did not enforce the captions/ASL needs. Then two years ago the ADA people woke up. As a result, small business owners that ignore captions and/or ASL will be fined $50,000 and up - just to comply with the ADA rules! Sad to say, for huge corporations, $50,000 is just pennies to them!   -- best way to make hearing neighbors love the deaf! A deaf man was a handyman; he could fix anything from lawn movers to leaky kitchen faucets. Hearing neighbors that do not know how to use a hammer, asked him for help. He never said no; as a result he was much loved in the neighborhood! He was always invited to private neighborhood parties even though they couldn't communicate with him. -- the ASL hobby ASL as a hobby? Well, there have been many stories in newspapers of bored hearing people, stuck at home because of the Pandemic. They "learn" ASL online and they love ASL because it seems so easy. The sad thing is that when they come to a deaf person they do not understand the ASL that the deaf responds!   Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 05/17/20 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
