...okay, but if Ella is deaf and neither of her parents are communicating with her in a visual format, that's going to result in a first-language delay that could affect her ability to learn and use language and literacy down the road. That's why infant hearing screenings EXIST. 90% of deaf kids have hearing parents who don't sign. But if deaf kids are identified as being deaf from Day 1, that means they have the opportunity to access language from Day 1 and develop on-par with their hearing peers. Turning down a hearing screening - unless you're already using a visual communication strategy in the home - is not just ignorant and irresponsible, it's criminal neglect.
I have to agree with you. Obviously by not getting a child's hearing tested parents would not discriminate against their child or treat them any differently. However the fact that parent's would treat a deaf child differently is what's broken in the first place. The Deaf see newborn hearing screening as a window to discrimination because most parents wont learn to sign. But just the fact that this is a concern is what's wrong with the system.
Bought me to tears! Love it! I am Deaf by birth by a disease that almost killed me - CMV. We need that in Australia as we feel that we are so far behind the US in equality and access with employments we want. We don't have doctors or nurses that are Deaf. No Deaf lawyers. No Deaf paramedics. I am almost finished studying an adult course in Certificate IV in Preparation for Nursing Entry, then I am going to apply for a course that pathways into paramedics. I am 36.5 years old. I am a former cadet with St John Ambulance Brigade for 4 years. I was told by my group's supervisor that I can't be a nurse, be a doctor, or a paramedic because I can't hear. I felt oppressed by that memory for years. And now I had fought to be in the course I had started last Semester 2, 2015, repeating 2 of the units after passed the 3 of the 5 units of the nursing course. My lecturers were surprised that I did that. Repeated 2 of the units this semester, 2016. Continuing ...
I hope you have continued and reached your goal! Having someone who understands you and can communicate with you when you're having a medical emergency is really important. You'll bring so much help to Deaf, HoH, and hearing people.
This is such an interesting film. I think Nyle and kid was the nicest thing. We all have a superpower, we just need to find it. In the future, we should go beyond inclusion. "Disability" wouldn't even be a exist if we are more accepting of each other and are have more things accessible to everyone and so on. :)
Finding out whether or not a child has a hearing loss at a young age is vital to how they will develop language, be it signed or spoken. Newborn hearing screenings are important and I don't like how this film made it seem that by having a child tested they are automatically labeled as lesser. That's not how it works
It’s so difficult to engage on this subject because of the emotional elements. This video does a good job of exploring the subject in an inoffensive way, but it also interjects more emotion into the discussion by its appeals to emotion. One can argue that disability can be dismissed by recognizing that it simply refers to a disparity between capabilities among individuals, which exists among everyone. In this sense, I am ‘disabled’ because I can’t reach the top of my book shelf, when my roommate can. In this sense of the term, everyone is disabled or no one is. As pointed out in the video, this is just playing with words and meaning. Of course we can play with words and meaning to rationalize away the term, but this does not address the root of the idea. To talk about the root, we need to be able to have candid conversations which WILL offend some people. Since we, currently, as a culture, seem unwilling to have candid conversations about disability, we more often end up with word games and superficial “feel good”, placebo-like solutions rather than meaningful progress.
+GnosGrajab Amen! Totally agree. Disability is a difficult discussion and PC and word play get us nowhere. You have no idea how many times I have met able bodied and disabled people who say "I was so afraid of being NOT PC that I never wanted to talk about disability." Let's get to the root of the problem with HONESTY!!! I think these films here cripvideoproductions.com do a good job of being honest.
Yes I agree! Great film!! Great work!! & That kiss was soooo yummmy, soooo lovely, soooo dreamy.......but If it were my lips he was kissing, it would have been longer, passionate, & more Tougne! ;) lol
I think the tech in this film is cool but not equal. They had a system to read sign and interpret to English but then the voice was interpreted to English; why not ASL? As an interpreter myself I doubt there will ever be a machine that can 'read' the emotions of signer and convey it in a spoken/written language. Looks like I'm not out of a job yet. LOL
Continued from the bottom... Recently I had passed my repeated maths unit and I don't need to do that again. Yay! And passed 2 Human Anatomy & Physiology exams, and we have 2 more exams to do before I get the cerificate awarded to me. After that, I am taking a 6 months break before applying for a new course that pathways to paramedic course in February 2017. I am going to break the barriers here in Australia by being thr first Deaf person to do the course by fighting for it. Fight for who you are and what you truly desire. Sorry for the long comments! ❤️
😍 watching this I felt that the question whether there has been a female or male president, prime minister, king or queen, sultan or sultaness, if there has been a gay or LGBTQI&WhateverMoreLetterYouWantToAdd, is so outdated, obsolete, because there has been great female leaders, and gays have been exisiting for 1000s of years (if not for time immemorial), but wheelchairs? The question should perhaps be when do we get to experience a king/queen/president/sultan/tsarinna/prime minister in a wheelchair? And not somebody with another skin nuance than your own (because blind people can't see your skin tone?) or another gender, because irrespective if we appear to be different, by skin or gender, we are made out of the same materials, minerals such as magnesium, kalum, copper, iron, etc., neither race or ethnicity or country of origin or any other of that bullshit? If we are to believe current theory on medicine, then even cats' and dogs' DNA is for example made out of the same components like that of Homo Sapiens Sapiens: Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine?
Food for thought (even was for me because I thought wheelchairs are like 200 years old, turned out they are much older and not made in the USA?): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelchair? Because I feel that a wheelchaired country leader would not necessarily impose that all of society becomes wheelchair adapted, but rather help us all to profoundly re-feel, re-think, re-question, the common perception of this reality and help broaden, improve our perspectives, sensitise is to completely new and different things, and perhaps for the better of the many, in order to unite us all, because I feel that those that live the simple life (like I am blessed and fortunate enough to be doing) really easily become blindsided by so unimportant details and aspects of this life that it actually is scandalous, because there is so much better ways we could be transmuting and directing energy than necessarily be pointing out differences all the time? Although differences are good and must be there because this world is built around heterogeneity?
Because I feel, when the time comes for the soul to leave this world, God or whatever to call that entity, will not be asking us: "what was your name, race, religion, sex, ethnicity, gender, country of origin, salary, sexuality, what passport did you hold and what languages did you speak, did you manage not to drink a single drop of alcohol or how much alcohol did you consume, were you a king, queen, tsar, sultan, sir, lord, or duke, did you sit or stand when going to the toilet, how many medals and competitions have you won, how many prayers or asanas have you completed, how many hours you mediated, if you were wheelchaired, deaf, mute, blind or maybe all 4 of them, if you used FB or TikTok, was your diet vegan, how many partners did you have and how many times did you have sexual intercourse, did you cover your head, how much money, earnings, wealth, did you have at most and how much are you leaving behind, what diseases did you have and what not, or any of that other made up human nonsense to be honest?". Because it is impossible to classify, name, label, etc. everything? And also, aren't we all souls in the first place, the invisible part of ourselves and then everything else? And even if souls differ in terms of energetic blueprint (if they even are because I base that on the fact that fingerprints are unique), aren't they also made up of the same materials, elements? The question maybe is what are we really doing in this world folks and not what is the colour of your eyes or how big is your nose? Nota bene, whatever you have transmuted energy into generating in this reality you will not be able to take with you when it is time to say goodbye to this world, not even the body that was "yours" during the journey? Some aspects of creation, this world, reality, will always remain a mystery, like how it all started, what happens when you "die", because what would be the point if we knew and understood the all, if we all got a bullet list when coming into this world with all that is to happen moment by moment? Some things have always been and will simply always remain hidden to everyone?
Writing that I feel that life, God, whatever you call or name the entity that cannot be named, truly is and can be cruel to some, it is actually scary (and sad?) how some actually have to pass through this world, how they have to live, how they have to spend their time here and I just feel how so immensely fortunate and blessed I am in this life simply because I have a fully functional body? If that is even a blessing, because looking at Nyle DiMarco's life (being blessed to be able to do so, and to hear), I feel that his life seems way more fun than mine :), so I feel that I am actually totally reconsidering what blessings and fortune actually is and what it is about? I just feel make love and peace not war, we are basically all the same folks and there is enough space for all of us?
And I love how I recently had a rant about how Influencers are overrated and make no sense, specially the ones like Kim Kardashian et. al., and then God sends me DiMarco and opens my eyes to a whole new world and makes me feel that Influencers like DiMarco are totally my style and how I feel that influence actually should be used :)! ∞ thanks you who actually cannot be named, nor any name has, or ever had, you that they, amongst other things, have named God and that actually cannot be described or depicted 😊?
Because I feel to God, humans are just a small minority compared to all other energies, frequencies, vibrations, creations, creatures, that exist in this world, reality, and that God neither has time nor cares about all these human made epithets or means of measuring things or success', that perhaps humans are those furthest astray and furthest from the real purpose of this existence?
This is such an amazing message and Nyle is awesome for trying to change how people with perceived disabilities are viewed. But 100% jealous of the girl
Sophy Contreras yea seems fake and awkward lol he dont like the hippie throw clothes on from the floor in the dark type girl lol Hes so sexy so he would go for a very good looking women. 😍 I'm available 🤗 and I know sign language 🤩
