Parents Of Deaf Children Encouraged To Learn Sign Language
VIDEO: Parents of Deaf children encouraged to learn sign language.
KENYA - Parents of Deaf children need to learn sign language in order to communicate with their children.
This is the proposal by the undugu society of Kenya, who maintain that most Deaf children, especially those from poor backgrounds, live most of their formative years in silence because both their parents and the community at large cannot communicate with them.
The society also faulted the education system for not being accommodative enough to enable effective learning by Deaf children.

Future Of Electronic Devices For The Deaf
VIDEO: Expected in future of technology devices for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals have various abilities to communicate, relate to, and access their world.
We see a world where communication is open and transparent. A world where every Deaf person can interact freely with others. It's not simply a far-fetched dream, it's our vision for the future.
The technology devices can support, change or modify an individual's ability to succeed at tasks that they otherwise may not be able to accomplish.

'Sign Language is Strength' Demonstration in Berlin
VIDEO [International Sign] - On 14 June 2013 held in Berlin a demo action sign language and rally. About 10,000 Deaf people protested in Berlin for equal rights and participation in the German society at by the Federal Parliament (Reichstag building). Deaf Germans call on politicians to implement all necessary accessibility! Germans demand the full recognition, German sign language in all areas.
In Berlin, on 14 June 2013 about 10,000 mostly Deaf people from all over the West for your rights and accessibility demonstrated by sign language. The demonstration route ran from the Reichstag to the vicinity of Checkpoint Charlie on Friedrichstrasse. Mel Riot reported.
25 years ago, on 17 June 1988 the European Parliament decided that the respective national sign language should be recognized as full-fledged language in all Member States of the European Community. Due to the prolonged struggle of the Deaf community and the support of many politicians the respective sign language is now recognized in most countries of the European Union and the Deaf fellow citizens have the right of access to information in their native language. However, there are still countries where the national sign language is not recognized, and in Germany there are still many situations in which Deaf people, despite the recognition of sign language, equal access to institutions of public life is denied.
With the demonstration of "action sign language" grab those affected exactly this topic, and want to show that the German sign language even though she is 11 years officially recognized in Germany, is not yet considered in all aspects as a matter of course. Deaf people encounter still many barriers and there are big differences in quality of the services for hearing-impaired people.
An example of this is the education in which the foundation for the further development opportunities and hard of hearing children is fixed. For the school, it is very important for children and young people that they are taught by teachers who are their sign language skills at a sufficiently high level. This can only ensure the fewest educational institutions so far unfortunately. Fact: Deaf children and young people are still not self-evident taught sign language.
Nor is self-evident in the pre-school education, access to sign language and a bilingual early intervention.
Even in the areas of communication and information access in which people with hearing impairments still bump into barriers, must the quality of sign language interpreters, the selection of personnel in institutions and agencies that are working for hearing-impaired people, saved and checked in the best case by native speakers are. Only in this way can be guaranteed that the barriers are broken down and Deaf people can live in an inclusive society. More Informations at http://aktion.gehoerlosen-bund.de
