More training

I am turning into the teaching assistant. It’s pretty funny. And he is spending an enormous amount of time on itunes. This is completely not helpful for the deaf ASL teacher sitting near me. And I ran to my car for a batch of cd’s so I’m importing them all right now. 🙂 Yay for multi-tasking. Half the class borrowed cds so they can figure out the program. Ha.

    Oh, grr. Someone else on my f’list, who is deaf, is in architecture school and having to fight the school for the ADA assistance that he is due. So this extra gets my goat.

    Based on my friend’s experience, I’ll bet that the deaf teacher is really sick of having to complain about this stuff (which shouldn’t even be an issue, with ADA, right?), and might really appreciate if you’d mention it to the trainer. Sometimes other trainers aren’t as sensitive as they should be. (Never me, of course!)

    (Even if it isn’t part of the actual class, it seems to be a big part of the group cultural experience, and the deaf teacher is being left out.)

      I actually went over and talked to her for a while today. It was a really nice little conversation. We discussed what of the material might be helpful for her and I asked a few questions about things in the deaf community. She was quite nice.
