@translationtalk #translationchallenges. Having to request a meeting to develop a glossary of how Zoom would translate non-English terms and having to rationalize how a Deaf translator’s work can go into disarray due to autocaptioning :)

[࿇Wayne Nicholson࿇ @aslwayne]

@translationtalk #translationchallenges come up when a Deaf translator depends on auto-captioning! Tibetan to English then ASL like ‘Dzogchen’ into ‘suction’ and there is a pause with a hmmmm in the flow :)

@deaftravel Try checking for salt. We often see our dog limping. A wet paper towel to the feet does the job.

Act it out! A new study suggests that students are more likely to remember a word when they use their hands and bodies to mimic it. 🙌🏾

@virginiashou @DeafGAVoteBlue The section about language deprivation and equitable resources for deaf children is in last 1/3 of Biden’s plan.

[Dimple Rogers @adathecloset]

This is an issue of access to information and Deaf mentors for families, and a massive issue of language deprivation for our deaf kids. Families who have a deaf child should meet a Deaf mentor before they meet literally anyone else re: their child's deafness.

It's 2 years since the original #DeepAdaptation paper. Time for a revised version! Read about edits, means of constructive dialogue, avoiding division & the need to listen to all sciences.
