Different Mainstreaming Models for Deaf Children

Different options for deaf education in Ireland mean childrens’ needs are better understood with today’s new hearing technologies, plus new educational resources and models.

Insights To IDK Information Session (March 2011)

IDK held an information session on mainstream education on March 4th, in Dublin. The event, for parents and educators seeking insights to educational options for deaf and hard of hearing children, was both informative and reassuring. In particular, no attempt was made to enforce a specific opinion and opportunities existed for different opinions to be heard.

Captioning: A Lifeline At Conferences & Seminars

For deaf students, employees and innovators in large gatherings or training environments, captioning is a lifeline. That’s the only way to put it. This point was clear to me after a recent conference at which eight hours of lipreading was required, because the organisers did not have a budget for captioning. On the bus home,
