@ColinAllenAM@FNSF@WFDeaf_org So richly and honourifically deserved after years of contributions to communities around the world. Well done and thank you, Honourary President Colin!!
@DebraRussell1 Kudos to CBC Gem but if one is to consider proper inclusion, it should be shown on regular channels, not limited to internet only - “accessible but other there” And there are great Albertans to do the interpreting work, not Ontario.
The Newfoundland and Labrador English School District claimed there were "no resources" and "no appetite" to provide an education in ASL to Carter and other deaf children. https://t.co/mF5yFVbE3p
The WFD has been contacted about the issue of hearing people taking the place of deaf people by teaching or conducting research on national sign languages

Hey #Auslan Community,
@deafaustralia has created a Deaf census that targets all people living in Australia who use Auslan or other sign languages. Through this survey, we hope to gather a clearer picture of Australian Community who uses sign language 1/2

And how do we know if teachers are qualified to teach Deaf children when there are no ASL/Deaf culture assessments? Unfortunately and way too often children suffer and parents are not aware. Deaf kids are often mislabeled to be behaviourally disruptive when they can’t express

@anchalsharma I want to compliment the excellent article you wrote about Indigenous Sign Language. Just one correction - interpreters don’t “help” to communicate for Deaf persons. They interpret for both Deaf and hearing persons. The role is to bridge two languages and cultures.
@ColinAllenAM@SDRorg @wfdeaf Congratulations! As always we are appreciative of your tremendous effort inspiring the Deaf people and to believe in themselves to achieve. Kudos!
