EXCLUSIVE California School for the Deaf students protest coach’s replacement.
RIVERSIDE, CA - At least 90 teenagers at California School for the Deaf, Riverside, left morning classes Thursday, Oct. 31, to protest the replacement of the high school boys’ basketball coach.
Students demonstrated outside the gym over what they said was the forced resignation of coach Jeremias Valencia and the hiring of former coach David Hamilton.
“We don’t want him to be our coach,” 11th grader Miranda Murphy wrote. “We’re trying to get Jeremias back.”
The California Department of Education issued a statement from Riverside campus Superintendent Mal Grossinger.
“I can appreciate that the students in question feel strongly about who serves as their basketball coach, but this is ultimately a personnel decision that had to be made by administrators,” Grossinger said. “We will continue to encourage the students to return to class and discuss more constructive ways to share their views.”
Students had painted a banner saying “We want Coach V. back” and hung it on the chain link fence that faces Arlington Avenue along with other signs protesting the coach’s being replaced. ... Read more: http://blog.pe.com/high-schools/2013/10/31/riverside-deaf-students-protest-coachs-replacement/

Deaf School Treats Students As Slaves
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: India government school teacher doing massage by Deaf student.
AKOLA - The Deaf community and parents in India outraged when the video leaking into the public of a government school teacher forcing student to doing massage which it was not a part of the education in school.
The teacher, Shital Avchar, working at a government run school for Deaf students, was also found guilty of taking nap in the classroom during school hours and harassing the pupils. Slavery are incompatible and it was part of a slavery re-enactment that discriminate to the students - some parents said crossed the line.
How dare teachers doing that to the students and call it an educational experience? Obviously this school district has taken education to a level it never needed to go to. Teaching children how to slavery and act inappropriately is never the job of a teachers.

Deaf Students Break Language Barriers
VIDEO: Auslan Version - Deaf students break language barriers in Australia.
When Heidi Beasley-Ellich sits her written VCE exams this month - whether in media studies or further maths or textiles - she will read the questions in English and write her answers in English, too.
This would not pose a problem were it not for the fact English is not Heidi's first language, because she is profoundly Deaf.
Heidi attends Forest Hill College in Burwood East, which helps Deaf children enter mainstream education by providing them with in-class resources including real-time captioning and interpreters.
Facility manager Amanda Purcell, winner of a 2013 Victorian Teacher of the Year award, believes passionately in the learning system but not the rigid form of assessment that puts Heidi and others at a major disadvantage.
''Say they've been learning and absorbing VCE biology for two years in Auslan,'' Ms Purcell said. ''It defeats the purpose of allowing them to learn the subject in their first language if you're going to assess them in their second language.''
Ms Purcell returned this month from a research trip to Scotland, where exams for the Deaf work differently. There, an interpreter signs each question to a Deaf student, and the student signs their answer while being filmed.
''The interpreter will then watch the film, and translate everything that the student signed into English,'' she said. ''That's what goes off to be assessed. And that's what I'm really hoping to get here.''
Ms Purcell is compiling an options paper for the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority based on her consultation with researchers and curriculum authorities abroad.
''Over there, Deaf students are getting scores that are indicative of what they know and what they can do, rather than their English level. And they're going on to careers in engineering and chemistry, where here they might not get the score required.'' ...

Deaf Advocates Sues U of M Over Stadium Design
VIDEO: National Association of the Deaf sues University of Maryland for failing to provide closed captioning at sports games.
WASHINGTON - Aberdeen Patch: A lawsuit filed in September by the National Association of the Deaf against the University of Maryland for its lack of amenities for Deaf fans at sporting events is just one of many such efforts to ensure hearing-impaired sports enthusiasts can enjoy themselves at stadiums.
Association CEO Howard A. Rosenblum said his organization has successfully sued other athletic organizations over the same issue, including the Washington Redskins, Ohio State University and the University of Kentucky.
The association successfully sued the Washington Redskins in 2011. According to lawsuit documents, the Redskins were required to “provide Deaf and Hard of Hearing fans equal access to the aural information broadcast over the stadium bowl public address system at FedEx Field.”
The University of Maryland lawsuit details complaints brought to the association by Sean Markel and Joseph Innes, two Deaf sports patrons who regularly attend Terrapin sporting events at Comcast Center and Byrd Stadium. Markel and Innes filed another complaint against the university on Oct. 16.
“This is an action to enforce the rights of individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and to ensure full and equal access to the defendant University of Maryland, College Park’s football and basketball games and other programs, services and activities taking place at defendants’ venues and on the University of Maryland athletic department website,” reads the official complaint filed by the association on behalf of Markel and Innes.
Maryland Assistant Vice President of Marketing and Communications Brian Ullman released a statement in response to the first complaint saying the university is committed to making sure Terrapin fans with disabilities can enjoy the school’s sporting events. He said the team already offers closed captioning through a special website that can be displayed on smart phones and tablets. ...

Deaflympics Sofia 2013 - Highlights for the Closing Ceremony
WATCH VIDEO: Deaflympics - Sofia 2013 - Highlights for the Closing Ceremony and Craig Crowley's Farewell Address to the Nations.
SOFIA - The 22rd Summer Deaflympics held in Sofia, Bulgaria -The Closing Ceremony Press Release on Sofia 2013.com: Mr Cooper (CEO, ICSD) and Eli Zaharieva (Organising Committee, Host Country) started the meeting by drawing attention to particular highlights of the Games so far, and the exciting final weekend of the Games to come. Eli Zaharieva was delighted to report on the progress of Bulgarian athletes with medals for their wrestling team. Mr Cooper then explained the outline for the Closing Ceremony on Sunday.
The Men's football final will take place at Vasil Levski Stadium, and depending on whether the match is completed after 90 minutes or there is a need for extra time, the turnaround will be quite quick.
The plan is to vacate the stadium and go to the neighbouring park, Boris Gardens while the stadium is prepared for the Speeches and the Closing Ceremony video.
After the speeches and the passing of the flag at Vasil Levski Stadium, there will be entertainment at Boris Gardens, which will include a customary Bulgarian folk dance company.
As one Deaf world, we will all be together, mingle and celebrate the Deaflympics as one community. The element of Deaf culture where there will be no time limit, as the lamps in the park will all be kept on so there will be plenty of light for sign language and celebration.

Deaf College Student Suspect: Dylan Andrew Quick (VIDEO)
Watch Video: (Captioned) - A Deaf student suspect in Texas college stabbings had dreams of success, bloodshed, some say.
Abcnews.go.com: A Deaf college student accused of going on a stabbing spree at a Texas campus attacked his victims with such force that "pieces of blade" were found in at least one of his 14 alleged victims, according to police.
Dylan Andrew Quick, 20, allegedly used a razor utility knife to stab and cut fellow students at Lone Star College Tuesday, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
"There were pieces of blade in at least one victim, broken blade pieces in the area where the cutting occurred, and the handle to a razor-type knife (X-Acto-style) was found in a backpack that Quick was carrying when he was arrested," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
Quick told police he has "had fantasies of stabbing people to death" since he was 8 years old. He also indicated he had been planning the attack for "some time."
Quick has been "matter-of-fact" with investigators, Sheriff Adrian Garcia said at a news conference today. ...READ MORE: http://abcnews.go.com/US/texas-college-stabbing-suspect-left-pieces-blade-victim/story?id=18922338#.UWZBezdbySp
CNN - Dylan Andrew Quick overcame a childhood disability and had big plans for the future. But on Tuesday, the 20-year-old student went on a stabbing spree on his Texas college campus, authorities said.
By the time campus police took him into custody, 14 people had been injured at Lone Star College. It's unclear how many of the injured were stabbed and how many suffered other injuries. The campus shut down Tuesday, but will reopen Wednesday.
Quick landed in jail. For now, his plans for the future may be in jeopardy.
Overcoming obstacles: Quick was born Deaf and received a cochlear implant at age 7, CNN affiliate KPRC reported. An article on how he overcame challenges early in life appeared on a Lone Star student blog the first week of April. The implant gave him the ability to hear, but he had to play catch-up to learn how to speak English. His mother homeschooled him and got him involved in Lone Star's library programs, when he was a teen, according to KPRC.
Quick became a voracious reader and developed a close connection with the school northwest of Houston, where he later became a student, the affiliate said. He was planning to finish his associate's degree there and transfer to the University of Houston to study accounting. The young man dreamed of starting a book club. But Quick had also been harboring a darker dream, police said. ...READ MORE: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/10/justice/texas-college-stabbing/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Deaf Toddler Hears Parents' Voices For First Time
VIDEO: Deaf toddler hears parents' voices for first time.
BRAZOS VALLEY, TX. - A Deaf toddler from Brenham heard his parents' voices for the first time Friday thanks to a cochlear implant Surgery he received at the College Station Medical Center.
Cadyn Beard lost his hearing when he was only a year old. Doctors can't explain why it happened, but ENT specialists told Cadyn’s parents there was a way to restore his hearing. Months later, Cadyn became the second child to ever receive a Cochlear Implant surgery in the Brazos Valley.
Doctors activated the implant for the first time Friday. “It was exciting to know he could hear our voices for the very first time,” said Krista Beard, Cadyn’s mother.
The Beards recorded the moment when doctors turned on the cochlear implant. In the video, you can see the moment Cadyn hears a crayon drop for the first time.
“He got really shy. He ducked down into his arm. He was a little scared, a little skeptical. Then he just wanted a hug,” said Krista. “It’s just a jolt to all of a sudden hear something that you haven't heard before...when you haven't heard anything.” ...READ MORE: http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/Caught-on-Camera-Deaf-Toddler-Hears-Parents-Voices-for-First-Time-201869121.html

Sloan Churman Video Is A Hoax ?
VIDEO: Sarah Churman's "Hears" for the first time is a hoax ... Believe it or not.
If you have access to the Internet, or live within shouting distance of someone who does, then few past weeks you probably watched the wildly popular YouTube video of Sarah Churman, a 29-year-old deaf woman who, after receiving cochlear implants, was able to hear for the first time as seen: 29 Year Old Deaf Woman Hears Herself For The First Time.
There have been quite a few detractors on the internet stating that seems to indicate this video may be a fake/hoax..., because she is able to speak almost immediately after it is turned on. The video takes place in a doctor's office and shows Ms. Churman's reaction at the precise moment a lab technician turns on the implant device. (Implant device- Envoy Medical, the maker of the Esteem -pharmaceuticals.einnews.com)
What is Esteem Implants?
Made by Envoy Medical: www.EnvoyMedical.com similar as Cochlear implants, however, Envoy Medical is not the same as cochlear implants. Esteem Envoy Medical is visible and it is implemented behind the ear 100% invisible hearing technology is these are implantable devices for those who don't want to use hearing aids. The hearing implants kinda of new technology the surgery for Esteem implantation involves the usual techniques for mastoid surgery in addition to an extended facial recess surgical approach to access the ossicular chain. An incision is made behind the ear to allow access to the middle ear space. During the implant procedure, the ossicular chain is disarticulated (surgically separated). The tip of the Sensor and Driver extend into the middle ear. The surgeon connects the Sensor and Driver to your incus and stapes, respectively. The Sound Processor is implanted behind the ear, under the scalp. Insulated wires connect the Sound Processor to the Sensor and Driver as seen on YouTube: How the Esteem® Works (Animation)
Some people viewed this video at least a half-dozen times, and they can unequivocally state that it is the most inspiring 90-second video you will ever see that consists almost entirely of a woman crying (Presumably, she is crying because of the emotion of the moment, and not because the technician decided that Sarah's first audible sound should be a recording of, say, Fran Drescher's voice).
The story is grossly distorted or simply fake (to sell the product?). It is possbile to convince people to buy the product perhaps, which Sarah Churman got paid off the debt as Envoy Medical Corporation, the maker of the Esteem give her $30,000 to pay her back that Sarah's video fakery been successfully, as seen on YouTube with closed captioned as Sarah Churman first appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show: Here Is Video About Sarah Churman With A Device Called Esteem
Sloan Churman's video is only for the MONEY as the dirty business? as seen on Cochlear Business Is Dirty Business! with captioned. The Envoy Medical Corporation, the maker of the Esteem is dirty business to convinced people to buy the product?..is that right?..no?..you decide... because there is too many in the negative comments as seen on: Sloanchurman Video -All Comments mostly involve accusations that the scene was staged, that Churman is not really DEAF, that there is no such thing as "hearing," etc. Therefore, Sloan Churman's inspiring video where Sarah Churman hears her own voice for the first time after a lifetime of being Deaf.
The several people have a bunch of ignorant like naysayers, haters and extremist groups most assumed and accusations that hearing impaired that did the comments under Sloan Churman's inspiring video for instance, The Damage Has Been Done! which is absolutely no proof by hearing impaired people that did this. What. 50K comments, majority of hearing impaired people attacking?.. 50K? This is absolutely completely stupid jokes!
Anyway, one frequently cited piece of evidence supporting the hoax claim is that Sarah speaks pretty clearly which, according to many commenters, is impossible for someone who is actually Deaf. This evaluation is usually backed up with an explanation like, "My nephew went to summer camp with a guy who said his neighbor's aunt was completely Deaf, and she couldn't talk that well, so this must be a fake." It is possbile that Churman's video is a hoax, for instance: Yes, they "hear" now, but they're still not "Hearing"! with captions.
These people clearly do not understand that proper speech requires hearing in order for the speaker to properly modulate their voice. For the same reason that people listening to loud music on headphones may either shout or speak too quietly, Deaf people typically have a difficult time vocalizing normally. One of the reasons that they are able to vocalize in the manner that they do is because their brain is using the vibration caused by their vocal chords to help modulate. Now that I’ve cleared that up let’s all get misty eyed for as we watch a truly transcendent moment of science and humanity.
However, the first sentence of that article proves the point. She was not Deaf. She had severe hearing loss. it is amazing what they did but it should not be title DEAF girl hearing herself for the First Time. She has heard herself before, just not clearly. maybe there's a line drawn between using the term 'Deaf', because there are 'legally blind' people that can still see. maybe there is 'legally Deaf'.
Some people have opinion of view about Sarah Churman's video.
The Sarah Churman Effect - First off, check out Sarah Churman's first blog soon after her Esteem was activated describing her awareness about the new sound around here.
1) It's fake. The whole thing was acted out in order to help promote the Esteem implantable hearing aid.
2) The title of the YouTube video was "misleading" and that she didn't really hear her voice for the first time.
3) Her voice sounded too "hearing-like" and could be heard clearly raising questions if her hearing loss is really severe.

Media Reporter interview with Sarah Churman on the show "TODAY"
By Michael Inbar: TODAY.com contributor updated 10/3/2011 9:58:26 AM ET.
Severely hearing impaired since birth, Sarah Churman had long managed to cope in a world where sounds came as if they were under water. But now, a surgical implant lets her hear her own voice, the sounds of birds singing, her two daughters chattering and her husband snoring.
“Yeah, that I didn’t listen to very long!” Churman told Matt Lauer on TODAY Monday as she recounted her first full week in the world of the hearing.
The pretty, 29-year-old Texan has became an internet sensation, thanks to a video taken by her husband, Sloan, as she heard her voice for the very first time last week. In the video, Sarah becomes overwhelmed with emotion, covering her mouth and bursting into tears, as she first hears herself talking. “I don’t want to hear myself cry,” she says and then laughs as she turns to her husband.
Sloan Churman posted the video on YouTube so friends and family could also witness the medical miracle, but a whole lot of others also looked in 8 million at last count. Appearing with his wife, Sloan told Lauer he almost didn’t tape the groundbreaking family event at all.
“I nearly didn’t videotape it, if it wasn’t for my mother saying, ‘You’re going to video this, we need to see this,” he said. “I wouldn’t have done it, because this was intimate for us; this was like getting married or having a child. I mean, seriously.”
Sarah was born with a rare genetic deformity that means she's missing the hair in her inner ear that transmits sound to the brain. She was fitted with her first hearing aid at age 2, but even with that technology she could only hear some vibrations and loud noises. She compensated throughout her life by becoming adept at reading people’s lips.
But earlier this year, Sloan Churman heard a radio ad for the Esteem Inner Ear Stimulator, billed as the only full implantable hearing aid for what his wife suffered from sensorineural hearing loss.
The $30,000 implant was pricey for the working class family. But they saved and borrowed Sloan’s mother helped out greatly and in July, Sarah had the procedure.
She told Lauer “millions of things” went through her mind as she prepared to hear her own voice for the first time last week.
“Half of me was just scared to death, that it was going to come on and I wasn’t going to like it, just because…this is all I’ve ever known for 29 years,” she said. “So the fear of the unknown, not knowing what it was going to sound like can be overwhelming. And it was just nervousness, (but) then the other half of me, ‘Oh hurry up and turn it on!’"
Sarah learned despite not being able to hear, she has a distinct Texas accent. “The funny thing is…the first time we traveled outside the country, everyone kept talking about our accents, so I was kind of surprised I didn’t think I had an accent,” she told Lauer.
But perhaps the biggest blessing was being able to hear the voices of her daughters, ages 4 and 20 months.
“That was pretty amazing,” she said. “My oldest (is) quite the little talker; she sounds so grown up and very articulate. And my youngest, I can hear the Texas accent in her voice.”
According to TODAY medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman, the fact that Sarah has an accent and can enunciate words fairly clearly shows she has had some hearing ability, but the still-new procedure is a distinct improvement on what a regular hearing aid can do.
“The cool thing about this is it uses the normal anatomy of the ear, so it takes the little bones in the middle ear, sends them to a processor, then sends them to the nerve that goes into the brain, and all this garbled stuff is turned into sound, so she can really hear it,” Snyderman said.
“Hearing aids normally have a lot of background noise and distortion; this makes it much better. It’s a surgical implantation approved by the FDA, but only a couple of hundred people have them.”
Sarah Churman's "Hears" for the first time is a hoax? You decide...

HEARS For The First Time Video Is FAKE ?
Sloan Churman Video is a Hoax ?
If you have access to the Internet, or live within shouting distance of someone who does, then few past weeks you probably watched the wildly popular YouTube video of Sarah Churman, a 29-year-old deaf woman who, after receiving cochlear implants, was able to hear for the first time as seen: 29 Year Old Deaf Woman Hears Herself For The First Time.
There have been quite a few detractors on the internet stating that seems to indicate this video may be a fake/hoax..., because she is able to speak almost immediately after it is turned on. The video takes place in a doctor's office and shows Ms. Churman's reaction at the precise moment a lab technician turns on the implant device. (Implant device- Envoy Medical, the maker of the Esteem -pharmaceuticals.einnews.com)
What is Esteem Implants?
Made by Envoy Medical: www.EnvoyMedical.com similar as Cochlear implants, however, Envoy Medical is not the same as cochlear implants. Esteem Envoy Medical is visible and it is implemented behind the ear 100% invisible hearing technology is these are implantable devices for those who don't want to use hearing aids. The hearing implants kinda of new technology the surgery for Esteem implantation involves the usual techniques for mastoid surgery in addition to an extended facial recess surgical approach to access the ossicular chain. An incision is made behind the ear to allow access to the middle ear space. During the implant procedure, the ossicular chain is disarticulated (surgically separated). The tip of the Sensor and Driver extend into the middle ear. The surgeon connects the Sensor and Driver to your incus and stapes, respectively. The Sound Processor is implanted behind the ear, under the scalp. Insulated wires connect the Sound Processor to the Sensor and Driver as seen on YouTube: How the Esteem® Works (Animation)
Some people viewed this video at least a half-dozen times, and they can unequivocally state that it is the most inspiring 90-second video you will ever see that consists almost entirely of a woman crying (Presumably, she is crying because of the emotion of the moment, and not because the technician decided that Sarah's first audible sound should be a recording of, say, Fran Drescher's voice).
The story is grossly distorted or simply fake (to sell the product?). It is possbile to convince people to buy the product perhaps, which Sarah Churman got paid off the debt as Envoy Medical Corporation, the maker of the Esteem give her $30,000 to pay her back that Sarah's video fakery been successfully, as seen on YouTube with closed captioned as Sarah Churman first appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show: Here Is Video About Sarah Churman With A Device Called Esteem
