Critical Interrogation of Karl White's Speech

VIDEO [ASL] - Critical Interrogation of Karl White's speech at TEDxUSU.



A Critical Interrogation of Karl White's presentation at TEDxUSU: Establishing a sound foundation for children who are deaf or hard of hearing as seen on http://youtu.be/bfN1RPVuzl0.



Anyone with some level of familiarity with Deaf people will agree that there are some deep philosophical differences in how we interact with, work with, and approach Deaf children.



As such anyone who purports to be an authority on Deaf people has an ethical responsibility to be transparent.

We find it disturbing that individuals such as Karl White continue to blatantly abuse their position by misleading the general public about Deaf people, languages, and medical intervention. This is done through intentional framing, through omission of facts, and through giving appearances of neutrality when in fact bias is present.



Here we discuss some of the things we noted and/or have questions about regarding his recent presentation at TEDxUSU (published on December 5, 2012).

How To Hypnotize A Deaf Person

VIDEO: VANCOUVER - How to hypnotize a Deaf person. This is kind of funny, but it's a genuinely effective method used to hypnotise people who are completely Deaf. Turn it up. Anyway it's real and t does actually work.

Just as a count down works with progression, or a relaxation verbal induction takes the person progressively through a process, so does the light electric pulsing of the Csta. It gives a light shock that slows down and gently takes the person into a form of trance. Visit http://www.FreeHypnosisTrainingOnline.com for more information.

Deaf Community Affected By Teletext Closure

AUCKLAND - New Zealand’s Deaf community will be greatly affected by Television New Zealand’s decision to drop its Teletext magazine service. The service, which was introduced in 1984 primarily to supply Deaf people with greater access to news and information, will be disbanded.



New Zealand’s Deaf community will be greatly affected by TVNZ’s decision to drop its Teletext magazine service. The service, which was introduced in 1984 primarily to supply Deaf people with greater access to news and information, will be disbanded by TVNZ early next year.



Deaf Aotearoa Chief Executive Lachlan Keating says the decision is a disappointing one for the Deaf community, especially the older members who regularly use Teletext.



“Over one-third of the Deaf community either doesn’t have or doesn’t receive good internet access, so relies on Teletext to remain up-to-date with news and other essential information from throughout the country,” says Mr Keating.



“They also use the service to access the Deaf pages, which provide information on relevant events and activities.” Mr Keating says TVNZ has stated that it will work with special interest groups affected by this change.



“On behalf of the Deaf community, Deaf Aotearoa is keen to build a stronger relationship with TVNZ to ensure that Deaf people throughout the country have reliable and easy access to news and information.” Read more: http://business.scoop.co.nz/2012/12/14/deaf-community-affected-by-teletext-closure/ SOURCE

Deaf Woman's Cat Seized By Animal Control Officers

SHELBY, NC. - 'My heart is just broken': Deaf woman's cat seized. A basket of cat toys sits forlornly on the carpet in Cindie Steever's apartment in Shelby along with an empty food bowl.



Steever said her small apartment feels barren and empty without Costello. For Steever, Costello was more than a pet. She was her ears. Steever can't hear a knock on the door. A ringing phone goes unnoticed. She speaks with the help of her fingers and an interpreter. Steever, who is Deaf, told The Star her small gray and white cat would alert her to sounds around her home. Through her interpreter, she described Costello as her "champion hearing cat."



Last week, Costello was taken by Cleveland County Animal Control officers when they were called to her home to remove some kittens. Steever's anguish cannot only be seen in her fingers, but her face. "I relied on her," she said.



Jacquelyn Moore, Steever's friend and interpreter, said Steever felt intimidated by several people. "She thought she was being forced to give Costello up," Moore said. "She felt she didn't have a choice."



Steever, who got Costello in 2011, said the cat recently had three kittens. Her landlord told her she had to find homes for the babies but that she could keep Costello. She was given a week. Read more: http://www.shelbystar.com/news/local/my-heart-is-just-broken-deaf-woman-s-cat-seized-1.64712
