ASL/English Reaction Paper
As from my career as a sign language interpreter and also a speech language pathologist learning and acquiring information about deaf victims is of great importance to me. This has helped me to increase my knowledge on how to deal with different patients of which are my clients. Having learnt about the various tips towards effective communication between communicator and the deaf patient or victims, it will be more a reward and also a skill towards my profession. The various steps and tips to follow include; visibility, lip-reading, body positioning, noise, gesturing and body movement, repeat, time among others. They are very relevant as they increase and capture attention, makes one feel part of the topic, give someone the idea of what you are talking about and enhance polishing of use of signals in communication.
By use of coping mechanisms, many victims are hard to be noticed unless they tell about their situation. Being a stronger lip reader I have the ability to use logic to communicate what I intend towards the victims. This can only be learnt after going through a thorough study of the hearing problems sources like this one in regard to the book “the children of a lesser God”. By embracing technology, it has several impacts over the deaf’s life in various ways. It has effectively cut off the deaf people from the access to movies while telephones became a barrier to them in communication. It also changed the education and physical of deafness such as hearing aids came to use. The telephone has separated the deaf from other people in the workplace and has resulted to them being denied promotions
As a speech language pathologist, have a great task of educating the society about the ways in which they are supposed to help the victims. They have that responsibility of making the victims feel part and parcel of the community. This has been derived from this study of which I knew little about it. Having learnt about various new terms and definitions of words such as CODA, SpODA, KODA and others, am now more equipped to publish heavily to educate the community of the ways they should try to implement to improve the relationship between them and the deaf victims. This will be of use as it will try to alienate the discrimination of the concerned victims.
Hearing defect may be natural or be propagated by factors such as excessive noise and fixing of sharp objects in the eyes hence leading to the damage of the eardrum. Precautions should be taken to reduce such incidences. In case of such incidences, proper steps should be taken to evade the incoming effects. As all of us knows, hearing is a crucial function to the entire body. There is need to implement the necessary tools to improve the hearing impairment of the victims. This tools need to be purchased at all cost to make sure the victims fits and evades discrimination at jobs places. In addition, it will reduce the disqualification and also inequality and justice in various interviews.
Individuals involved in the negligence of the victims should be dealt with perpendicularly in due time. With the American Sign Language (ASL) needs to be improved and researched on to fight this menace of hearing defect. In conclusion, from the various ways to handle the victims, we should treat them with love and care as we know disability is not inability. They can achieve big in life.
