    thank you for reassuring us that it is okay to make a mistake while learning. I am going through an ASL course online right now and just found myself getting overwhelmed and almost wanting to cry at the thought of being insensitive or offending somebody. I don't want that fear to paralyze me from practicing my communication skills in different languages that I may learn. Learning ASL and interacting with different communities literally will force you to get over yourself lol. It's really good and very humbling

      He is legally blind. However he does have limited vision. This is very common. Not everyone who is blind is. Completely in the dark. Some see shadows and light, others see figures but no details. Some see in one eye but have no depth perception due to the other eye. Lots of variety here. Always good to ask what they can see or hear to help you communicate with them!

    If you use your finger to write letters on the person's hand, should you use upper or lower case? Are most deaf blind adults who had the proper education, able to understand that?

    • @mariaelizabeth6066
      @mariaelizabeth6066 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There’s not really upper or lowercase words used if it was specifically important then I would probably use a sign indicating that it’s a capital letter

    • @nancyodonnell
      @nancyodonnell ปีที่แล้ว

      Use all upper case letters except the letter "i" which is written in lower case. The dot on the lowercase "i" makes it easy to distinguish. If you make a mistake, just motion on the palm of the hand that you're erasing it. DeafBlind adults who are proficient in English (or whatever language you're writing in - my friend's parents used Print On Palm (POP) in Bengali) should be able to get the hang of it, although it may not be their preferred method of communication. I once worked with a gentleman who became deaf later in life, then lost his vision overnight (illness and other conditions). Fortunately, when it happened, staff at the hospital knew to use POP and introduced it to him. It was a lifesaver. Slow, but at least he was able to get information in. He used speech to communicate back. If a DB person has peripheral neuropathy which makes it difficult to feel the letters on the palm of their hand, try their upper arm or back...wherever they are comfortable and can feel the message.

    You know, I do of course think it's great that Wavefront Centre has a CEO who has hearing loss, and I don't want to take away from the importance of that. I do agree in general with the message of this video - advocacy and representation ARE so important, and it sounds like this person has accomplished a lot. But there were some things in this video that rubbed me the wrong way. There was some kind of implication that working in the service industry was inferior (it's not), and in particular I didn't like that he said "I remember my other classmates celebrating their achievements, but mine was different" How on earth can you know what your classmates went through? As someone that suffers with a number of invisible disabilities this was really offensive to me. It's great that this guy has achieved so much, but you don't have to put other people down to celebrate your own accomplishments.

    English transcript for the DeafBlind: Hi, I am going to talk about TV devices today. During this difficult time, we are finding ourselves trying to get more information, get health updates, etc. and if you have difficulty hearing the TV with your hearing aids, there are a number of devices available to assist you to hear better. If you received a system like this, each manufacturer has their own specific device; then these could work directly with your hearing aids to connect to a TV. It allows the sound from the TV to go directly into your hearing aids, rather than bouncing around the room and then going into your hearing aids so you get a better sound quality and it makes it easier to understand the TV. So basically what happens is for each device, there’s two cords. A power cord and an audio cable. The audio cable will plug into the back of the unit (TV base), somewhere in one of these jacks and then the other end will plug into the audio output jack in the back of the television. Depending on the cord, it will go into a different jack - but it is quite obvious which jack it goes into by the look of the cable. [Please note that if the jacks on the TV are already in use, you can try plugging the cords into the back of the Telus or Shaw cable box.] Then you plug it into the wall, and then for some hearing aids - the device will send [sound] to the hearing aids. For others, you may have to wear an accessory. Again, these are specific to the manufacturer - there isn’t one device that works with all of the hearing aids. Some of the systems that the user has to wear and then there is a TV device. The user’s device does need to charge from time to time. Generally they will work for at least 5 hours, some of the new ones they will work for longer before needing to be charged. But usually there is a small cradle area in the charging unit, or in the TV device that you just plug the device into - and it will charge overnight and then you can use it the next day. Most of these systems are a two unit system, it takes about two hours to charge the unit and then you can use it again. Often, one hour will give you about an 80% charge so you can still use it throughout the day if you are watching TV a lot. We will have links at the end of this video [see description box] to each manufacturer’s systems and you can have a look and see if you have it, and then you can connect it up and give it a try. Another option is to use closed captioning on your television. You can access that through your clicker (remote control) - generally on the settings button. And you will look through the menu and look for closed captions or cc to turn them on and these are the words at the bottom of the screen where you can read along with what people are saying. Not all programs are closed captioned, and some of the health messages that are being put out are currently not captioned. There is an option to go to TH-cam (to watch the health updates), those are not professionally captioned but there is an auto-generated captioning so there might be a few errors but it might allow you to follow-up on some of those health messages and get more of the information with those closed captions. Thanks very much.
