Oscar-Winning Actress Marlee Matlin and Howard A. Rosenblum Share Their Perspective on the SCOTUS Ruling for Deaf Students https://t.co/x2VSisgP50 #deaf
@amardesai@UberFacts Not just North American kids. My cousin is in her 5th (and last) year of teaching in China. This is how Western teachers are regularly treated by students there. But absolutely agree on your other points.
@EllenDeGeneres Too bad nearly a quarter of the people watching weren’t able to access it given there were no #captions available for the #deaf and #HardOfHearing.
@SpoiledLatina@MayraABC13@FCC There are several ways this could’ve been prevented. Captioners have been fighting this fight for more than a decade. I or any of the Board members at @GCaptioning would be happy to speak with you on the efforts underway to provide quality captions to the public.
@SpoiledLatina@MayraABC13@FCC I am a captioner, and while I didn’t personally do this broadcast, I can speak to the fact that captioners are instructed to put this exact parenthetical up when someone is speaking a language other than whatever the primary language of the broadcast is in. 1/3
@SpoiledLatina@MayraABC13@FCC And while the @FCC does oversee the regulations regarding captions, they do not themselves hire the actual captioners. And let’s just say that their oversight in this area is less than abysmal. 2/3
Shoutout to Kimberly Shea, Sebrina Crosby and Karyn Menck at @CaptionPros for the @CottonBowlGame press conference transcripts all week. It’s a tremendous amount of work and @haynesworth413 was more than happy to get a tutorial! @GreenWaveFB appreciates your efforts! #RollWave 🌊
