Jakarta, Indonesia - They are just like us, but they did not complain as we are.
What wrong we were born in this world. We also born from the fruit of love just as the children of Adam and Eve perfect, is the word that hurts us as spears inserted in our gut.
What wrong we were born in this world, we also born from the fruit of love just as the children of Adam and Eve just perfect for a normal person and not perfect for the Deaf.
What wrong we were born in this world cynical faces who saw us it was also equally painful but we're still confident that we still have the ability.
mereka sama seperti kita, namun mereka tidak mengeluh seperti kita.
Apa salah kami lahir di dunia ini Kami juga lahir dari buah cinta Sama seperti anak-anak Adam dan Hawa Sempurna, adalah kata-kata yang menyakitkan bagi kami Seperti tombak yang ditusukkan ke ulu hati kami.
Apa salah kami lahir di dunia ini Kami juga lahir dari buah cinta Sama seperti anak-anak Adam dan Hawa sempurna hanya untuk orang normal dan tidak sempurna untuk tuli.
Apa salah kami lahir di dunia ini wajah-wajah sinis yang melihat kami itu juga sama menyakitkan tapi kami masih tetap yakin bahwa kami masih memiliki kemampuan.

Video: A new reason for why the Deaf may have trouble reading, Health Report.
Deaf people may have no trouble communicating words through American Sign Language, or ASL. But studies of ASL users show that the average Deaf adult reads at the level of a nine-year-old.
The explanation has always been that this is because they never learned to connect letters with sounds. But a recent study shows that Deaf readers are just like other people learning to read in a second language. Linguist Jill Morford led the study. She says: "The assumption has always been that the problems with reading were educational issues with what's the right way to teach reading when you can't associate sounds with letters. But what we're finding is that all this time we've been ignoring the fact that they're actually learning a new language."
Ms. Morford is a professor at the University of New Mexico and part of a research center at Gallaudet University in Washington. Most students at Gallaudet are Deaf, the center studies how Deaf people learn and use language. Professor Morford says signers are like English learners whose first language uses a different alphabet. She says: "Anyone who has a first language that has a written system that's very different than English, like Arabic or Chinese or Russian, knows that learning to recognize and understand words in English is much more challenging than if you already speak a language that uses the same orthography. "The orthography is the written system and spelling of a language. Of course, with signers, their first language has no written system at all, just hand gestures.
Gallaudet professor Thomas Allen explains what effect this has on reading. He says: "There's a silent hearing going on ... when a hearing person reads a word. When a deaf person reads a word, there's not. They see the word and there's some kind of an orthographic representation. And some of the research in our center has shown that when Deaf readers read an English word, it activates their sign representations of those words." Signers can face the same problems as other bilingual people. Their brains have to choose between two languages all the time. Take the words "paper" and "movie." Their spelling and meaning are not at all similar. But, as Professor Allen points out, the signs for them are. To make the sign for paper," he says, "you hold one hand flat and you just lightly tap it with a flat palm on the other hand, and you do that a couple times and that means paper." Movie is very similar, except the other hand "lightly moves back and forth as if it were a flickering image on a screen."
The study appears in the journal Cognition. For VOA Special English, I'm Alex Villareal. This is the VOA Special English Health Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com.
Anyone with some level of familiarity with Deaf people will agree that there are some deep philosophical differences in how we interact with, work with, and approach Deaf children.
Vancouver - Video: How to hypnotize a Deaf person. This is kind of funny, but it's a genuinely effective method used to hypnotise people who are completely Deaf. Turn it up. Anyway it's real and t does actually work.
Just as a count down works with progression, or a relaxation verbal induction takes the person progressively through a process, so does the light electric pulsing of the Csta. It gives a light shock that slows down and gently takes the person into a form of trance. Visit http://www.FreeHypnosisTrainingOnline.com for more information.

COLD LAKE, AB. - Raw Video: Cop Kicks Legally Deaf Man in the Face During Arrest in Cold Lake, Alberta.
A YouTube video of an Alberta RCMP officer kicking Richard Claybert in the face has sparked an investigation and caught the attention of the province.
According to a statement released by RCMP, three officers from the Cold Lake detachment responded to complaints of a noisy party in a parking lot of a community hall early Saturday, Sept. 22. While responding, one of the party organizers asked for police assistance in clearing the crowd. An intoxicated man refused to leave and two officers began the process of putting the man under arrest while the third officer continued crowd control. According to Metro Edmonton, it was the third time police were called to the hall that night.
RCMP have identified the man being arrested as 21-year-old Richard Claybert.
In the grainy, shaky footage posted to YouTube, Claybert appears face-down on the ground while two officers attempt to handcuff him. Onlookers taunt and yell at the officers and you can hear one man shouting "Seven-11 for the rest of your life, man. Seven-11," although it is not clear whether it is coming from a bystander or an officer...

OLATHE, KS (KSHB NBC) - Kansas budget cuts could mean bad news for the Kansas State School for the Deaf.
A mandate to cut the budgets for Kansas state agencies could be bad news for a school in Olathe, Kan., that's been helping children since 1861.
In the kindergarten classroom at the Kansas School for the Deaf , kids are learning to communicate using their hands instead of their voices. They are immersed in American Sign Language.
Like the 140 other students at the school, they will be immersed in deaf culture during their years here, learning to cope in a hearing world.

ABC News - Sarah Churman's 'Powered On' details her life's journey and offers unique insights from the perspective of a woman who has experienced both sides of a disability.
Sarah Churman, 29, was born with a tiny fraction of her hearing. Last year she had surgery to implant a new device, The Esteem, into each ear. Her mother-in-law cashed in her retirement to part of the $60,000 bill.
Before Sarah and her husband, Sloan, left for the hospital to have the surgery, Churman's mother-in-law made one request of her son: film Churman's reaction to hearing for the first time. The 90-second clip has gone viral, having been viewed more than 14 million times.

Video profile Deaf Art Community Jogja (group hip hop bisu tuli) from Jogjakarta, Indonesia.
“In nature there’s no blemish but the mind, none can be called deformed but unkind” (William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night Act III Scene IV)
Never has God created imperfect people, or what-is-so-called ‘disabled’. People who call them as disabled are the most cruel people. God created people with the highest perfection and having the same right to develop their potentials to gain wealth.
Until these days, the lives of disabled people and deaf people in Indonesia are still marginalized both structurally and culturally. There is injustice to get their rights for education, jobs, health, social, culture, law, access for information, and public facilities use. In other word, there is discrimination toward disabled people in the society. Attitudes towards disability are quite bad in Indonesia, and there is a lingering association of impairment with wrong-doing.
Most people are embarrassed about disability, and deaf children are sometimes hidden away, especially in rural areas. Some of the deaf people in the organisations we work with say their parents let them come to meetings in the hope that they will ‘become normal’ by forbidding them from using sign language. Faced with negative attitudes like this, deaf children often grow up to have low self-esteem and little self-confidence.
Too many people are busy with their own importance; trying to get more money, chasing better carriers, and thinking to get higher positions, or even cheating for their own sakes as they have forgotten their surroundings that need their hands.
Through this paper, I would like to invite people to step into the proud of, emergent DEAF-WORLD and learn about its language, values, history, and concerns and to see a ‘real world’ surround us, but might have not been seen or heard by our very own eyes & ears to ‘open’ other people’s eyes to see a deaf community that is considered as a minor-marginal-community in Indonesia as disabled people, while not many people realize that deaf community is not disabled people but they see themselves as ‘language minority group’ who are fighting to get their right of sign language as their first mother tongue language.
Through our presentation, we will guide all of you to have a wonderful journey tour into the deaf world in Indonesia, their deaf culture, sign language, deaf education and their life. We will have it through our interactive workshop, to give you an opportunity to experience a little of what the works is like for a Deaf person.
In everyday like, Deaf people try to overcome barriers to communication in an environment that is designed to meet needs of hearing people. We hope that this workshop will provide a valuable insight into the life of Deaf people.
By attending the workshop, you will gain a better understanding of how to communicate with deaf people (communication strategies), how to be deaf like is, some basic Indonesian sign, how deaf enjoy the music and culture art in theatre.
NewsX: Ban on bulk SMS hits Deaf people hard of the nation India.
NEW DELHI - The Government of India's blanket ban orders on limiting the number of SMSes may have been rational in terms of its bid to stop miscreants from sending bulk sms that spread panic. But there's a whole new segment that finds the clock stops as soon as the smses stop.
The most inconvenienced by this order are the 1.8 million hearing & speech impaired citizens of the nation. It began as a move to stem the exodus of North Eastern citizens... arising out of rumours being spread by certain vested interest groups.
The government in an effort to stop these messages initiated a ban on more than 5 sms from any pre-paid number for 15 days. Amidst criticism and growing public outcry the govt increased the limit to 20 sms a day. A Deaf person would require to send anywhere between 100 to 250 sms' per day to carry on with their basic activities... Read more: http://www.newsx.com/videos/ban-bulk-sms-hits-speech-impaired-hard?

The scene "The Cochlea Implantation" (performed by the Deaf actors Horst Dittrich as the father and Reinhard Grobbauer as the son and Werner Mössler as the doctor" shows a cochlea implantation real ironically. It is a real question, the cochlea implantation could be helpful.
On the way of an operation the return to the "hearing world" is technically possible. But the way of operation is not helpful for the Deaf society.
What happens to operated Deaf people, which are living now with a cochlea implantation but without a better result of hearing? They are not integrated in the "hearing world" and the Deaf world, they damaged psychological and physical. In such a situation the cochlea implantation destroys Deaf society.
Video documentary about dropout rate among mainstream Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in American sign language.
Students with hearing loss attending general education classrooms have been reported to experience difficulties in social skills and relationships. This 5-year longitudinal study examined the social skills and problem behaviors of students who were Deaf or Hard of Hearing, and who attended general education classrooms. Data were obtained from classroom teachers and students themselves.
The mean Social Skills and Problem Behavior scores (Social Skills Rating Scales; Gresham & Elliott, 1990) were within the average range and normally distributed each year. The average change over 5 years in social skills and problem behavior was not significant.
The most consistent predictors of social outcomes were the students" classroom communication participation and participation in extracurricular activities. Implications for placement, intervention, and further research are discussed. Sources: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/article/Exceptional-Children/260582218.html
