Local Resources For Hearing Speech and Deaf Center

Dr. Carr gave me some very useful information on Local Resources for the Hearing and Deaf. I looked through the Hearing Speech & Deaf Center of Greater Cincinnati. This site is very helpful in dicussing my topic on Deaf Parents and thier children. They offer several different resources to the community. Many of the questions I have already discussed throughout the term have been answered. They offer sign language classes to everyone regardless if your hearing impaired or hearing. They operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week. They offer sign language interpreters for pregnant women. They allow each women to have the same interpeter throughout thier whole entire pregnancy. The interpeters will attend every doctors appointment. They have a summer camp for Deaf and Hearing impaired children. Donoations and Grants allow them to take the children on different field trips throughout the summer. I found it really interesting that they have a survey on having caption on the movie theater screens. This is something that I have never thought about. I didn't know if movie theaters offered services for those who are hearing impaired. I know they offer services for people who have physical disabilities. There is a survey asking hearing and deaf people to speak and change how the movie theaters think. They also have different community actvities. They are having a silent dinner at Eastgate Mall's food court. I am excited that Dr. Carr referenced this site because it allowed me to find local resources for the whole entire family. Each week I plan to update everyone on different events taking place at the Hearing Speech and Deaf Center of Cincinnati. I have posted a link below and encourage everyone to take the survey and view thier calender of events. Have any of you ever thought about how do Movie Theaters accomodate those who are hearing impaired????
