Did you know September is Deaf Awareness Month?

Here are some ways you can celebrate and empower those around you:

🔹 Spread awareness
🔹 Support deaf-owned businesses
🔹 Donate to deaf-based charities like the Louisiana Association of the Deaf
🔹 Volunteer with deaf organizations
🔹 Encourage, advocate, and promote Deaf people in their own culture and community
🔹 Reach out to companies and governments to encourage them to fulfill their legal obligations to accessibility like ASL Interpreting and subtitles on their social media posts.

Celebrating our differences and our common interests helps us understand other’s perspectives, broaden our own, and fully experience and educate ourselves.

This is our opportunity to share with the rest of the world about our diverse stories, our Culture, the beauty of ASL, and our rich history.

As future healthcare professionals, it is our responsibility to be aware of the communication barriers that exist for some of our patients.

Interpreters and translators, despite having different roles when it comes to their service in healthcare, are crucial to ensure effective communication between patients and the hospital or clinic staff.

Here are some of the differences that distinguish both roles! 🤟

ATENCIÓN 👋
¡Charla de suma importancia para todos los profesionales de la salud!

¿Sabes qué hacer cuando un paciente Sordo visita tu clínica o cómo atenderlo en el hospital? ¡Si la respuesta es “no, pero me gustaría”, entonces esta es la charla para ti!

Mañana ofreceremos nuestra segunda actividad del semestre; conferencia dirigida por el Dr. Victor Fuentes López, audiólogo.

¡Los esperamos! 🤟

The University of Tennessee Knoxville is currently recruiting hearing parents who have a deaf signing child (ages 3-18) for a virtual research study. They are interested in how you communicate with your deaf/hard of hearing child. You will receive a $15 Amazon gift card as a thank you for your time.

To be eligible the parent must 1) be hearing and consider spoken English your primary language, 2) sign with your child for more than 50% of your conversations with them, and 3) your child must not have significant developmental challenges that are unrelated to being deaf/hard of hearing.

What will you be asked to do? Complete an online survey asking about you and your child’s communication, your child’s understanding of others’ thoughts and feelings, and basic demographic questions (age, education, etc.).

If you’re interested, follow this link (or the link/QR code on the flyer) to indicate your interest: tiny.utk.edu/Survey_DeafLanguage. Research staff will follow up with you to see if you are eligible and if you are eligible, they will send you the link for the survey. Thank you for your time and consideration!
