Technology and Accessibility
technology for the deaf
TTY
captions
captioning required on tv shows, movies, at theatre and public settings
captioning device (1980's)
NAD movie captions
alerting systems
flashing when someone knocks at door as doorbell is not sufficient for some deaf people
Deaf Community and Access
hard to find doctors
ex: Nicki, Kris Runge
wasn't until ADA was in place that deaf students were accepted into medical schools
interpreters lack knowledge to sign medical terms so deaf patients tend to not go to doctors
ADA allowed deaf truck drivers be a thing even though they were more than capable before
"design for all"
innovative technology
cellphones are one of the most useful and easily accessible
apps and softwares are being developed often
getting easier for deaf individuals to find accessible sources that helps them communicate
