DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, September 23, 2015 morning
-- a well known deaf school changes its name
The Learning Center for the Deaf (TLC), the school, has
changed its name, sort of! There is much more to TLC
than just the school that deaf students attend. TLC is
a sprawling complex of 14 separate departments -
meaning one school and 13 other departments, in
Framingham, MA, and a couple of other locations.
For sake of better identification, TLC, the school,
has changed its name to Marie Philip School (in honor
of the deaf leader that departed us few years ago).
TLC, the complex, however, retains its same name.
-- Starbucks becoming much more deaf-friendly
Starbucks has always been popular in the Deaf
Community, but ordering something can be
quite an ordeal. DeafDigest editor has
personally witnessed a deaf person, with fair
speaking skills, struggle with the barista
over a specific order. Ordering something
like a Frappuccino with one shot of something,
and two shots of something else can lead to
misunderstandings and frustrations! Not any
more - with their upgrade on Mobile Order & Pay
app. A deaf person can key in the specific
order and it will be perfect when served.
