For accessibility, #UgSL 👇
Let your face do the talking.
Questions. Commands. Negation. Emotion.
All on the face.
Hands without expression?
That’s an unfinished sentence.
#UgSL #Accessibility #SignLanguageInterpreting
Interpreting isn’t word-for-word.
It’s meaning-for-meaning.
Tone. Intent. Context.
When done right, information stays accurate, fair, and accessible.
That’s not extra work.
That’s the job.
#UgSL #Accessibility #SignLanguageInterpreting
This is a gesture.
That is Ugandan Sign Language.
Difference?
Grammar.
Face = tense
Body = meaning
Hands = structure
Skip the face and body?
Congrats—you just changed the sentence 😬

This week, in collaboration with @CEBTRAN_Uganda , we conducted partnership workshops in Moroto, Kapchorwa, and Mbale districts, engaging with various stakeholders. discussions & commitments centered around #deaf #education, #SignLanguage devt, social and ethical issues. #UgSL
It is saddening to see the deteriorating academic performance of #deafchildren in national exams.
@UNADeaf, #specialneedsdept of @Educ_SportsUg,@NUDIPU and @all concerned persons, more advocacy is needed to provide esp well trained #Ugsl #interpreters during exam time.

Rebecca Mansell @SkyNews emphasizes the need for more #BSL teachers, with #deaf educators leading the way. Isn’t this the same for #Uganda #UgSL? Or we also need a UgSL Bill like @DeafsaInfo @BrunoDruchen @bobnkwangu @Thomas_Tayebwa
'BSL has been an oppressed language for a very long time and it is very important that we get this right'
Rebecca Mansell says there are not enough BSL teachers and adds that 'deaf teachers should take the lead'.
