-- many cities refuse to post up Deaf Child signs
A deaf child is part of a family in Dayton, OH. The
family had been begging the city to post up
the Deaf Child signs. For quite some time the
city refused, but finally put up the Deaf Child
sign. Why did the city refuse in the first
place? Two reasons. First reason is cost.
Second reason if the street has no sidewalks!
-- a shock about a health center
Augusta Health Center in Fisherville, VA,
lacks an interpreter for the deaf. And
when deaf patients come in, the Center
has to call an interpreting agency to
send in an interpreter. What is the
big shock? That for some of the deaf
patients, they have to wait more than
four hours for an interpreter to show
up! Yes, there is a video remote
interpreting, but it is quite unpopular
with the deaf.
