Sign Language Interpreter Rules Criticized In Michigan
VIDEO: Reform for sign language interpreter rules criticized in Michigan.
LANSING, MI. - In April 2005, a Deaf Roseville woman confessed to police to killing her boyfriend without knowing she had a legal right to have a lawyer present and remain silent through an interpreter.
The Michigan Supreme Court later tossed out the confession, concluding Mary Ann McBride's unqualified interpreter failed to communicate through sign language McBride's Miranda rights.
McBride was later convicted in the stabbing death of Robert Adelsburg, but the case and other incidents of sign language miscommunication in legal and medical settings prompted a 2007 law requiring more stringent education and testing requirements for interpreters.
"Unfortunately, situations like that continue to happen," said Sheryl Emery, director of the state Division on Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Six years later, the new rules are beginning to go into effect, but not everybody is happy with the reforms as Michigan imposes some of the toughest testing requirements for Deaf interpreters in the country intended to prevent interpreter mistakes. Some longtime professional interpreters and graduates of college-level sign language programs say the new state licensing test is difficult and too focused on English language concepts not used in everyday interpreting with Deaf people in community, educational, medical and legal settings.
Robina Anderson, an interpreter from Trenton and the daughter of two Deaf parents, has used sign language for 55 years, but has twice failed a new state exam that places a heavy emphasis on antonyms, synonyms and reading comprehension. Her state certification will become invalid this year under new licensing requirement set to go into effect in June. ...Read more: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130408/METRO/304080345/1409/Reform-sign-language-interpreter-rules-criticized - SOURCE

Deaf Toddler Hears Parents' Voices For First Time
VIDEO: Deaf toddler hears parents' voices for first time.
BRAZOS VALLEY, TX. - A Deaf toddler from Brenham heard his parents' voices for the first time Friday thanks to a cochlear implant Surgery he received at the College Station Medical Center.
Cadyn Beard lost his hearing when he was only a year old. Doctors can't explain why it happened, but ENT specialists told Cadyn’s parents there was a way to restore his hearing. Months later, Cadyn became the second child to ever receive a Cochlear Implant surgery in the Brazos Valley.
Doctors activated the implant for the first time Friday. “It was exciting to know he could hear our voices for the very first time,” said Krista Beard, Cadyn’s mother.
The Beards recorded the moment when doctors turned on the cochlear implant. In the video, you can see the moment Cadyn hears a crayon drop for the first time.
“He got really shy. He ducked down into his arm. He was a little scared, a little skeptical. Then he just wanted a hug,” said Krista. “It’s just a jolt to all of a sudden hear something that you haven't heard before...when you haven't heard anything.” ...READ MORE: http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/Caught-on-Camera-Deaf-Toddler-Hears-Parents-Voices-for-First-Time-201869121.html

Google Translate Helps Connect With Deaf People
Google Translate helps family connect with Deaf, adopted daughter.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Ca. - You might use Google Translate to read a hard-to-find Manga comic book or to decipher an obscure recipe for authentic Polish blintzes. Or, like Phillip and Niki Smith in rural Mississippi, you could use it to rescue a Chinese orphan and fall in love at the same time.
Google is now doing a record billion translations on any given day, as much text as you'd find in 1 million books for everything from understanding school lunch menus to gathering national security intelligence. It translates in 65 languages, from Afrikaans to Yiddish, and can be used on websites, with speech recognition and as an app on mobile phones even if there is no connection.
While the technology is exponentially evolving, Google's translation guru Franz Och's face lit up when he heard that the Smiths and their new daughter, 14-year-old Guan Ya, are settling into their new lives together this month communicating almost exclusively through Google Translate.
"All day long I look at algorithms, algorithms and algorithms," he said. "It is so rewarding to hear that it is touching lives."
In the Smiths' case, it changed theirs forever.
The Smiths, who already have three children, first spotted Guan Ya less than a year ago when Niki Smith was looking at photos of hard to place orphans online, offering simple prayers for them one by one. With three children of her own, including a 3-year-old daughter adopted from China, she had no intention of adding to her family. ...READ MORE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/08/google-translate_n_3029486.html

Switched at Birth Actress Asks Community To Help Funds For Deaf Children
VIDEO [ASL] - Switched at Birth actress asks community to help raise funds for ESD (Evangelical School for the Deaf) for a better future. An important message from her heart for the Deaf community.
Stephanie Nogueras, is an actress who plays Natalie on the show ‘Switched at Birth’. Stephanie is issuing a call to action, inviting community to be part of the solution to explain why she is doing a good cause, to raise Deaf awareness in Puerto Rico for a better future. www.gofundme.com/fundesd
Look at USA, already have a several Deaf organizations, events, clubs, sports, etc. A strong Deaf community which is close knit. Many Deaf Americans are proud for who they are, socializing with Deaf/HOH people often, and supportive each other. What about Puerto Rico? Where is that? Secondly, less than 5% Hearing families with Deaf child who can communicate in sign language in Puerto Rico (Documented by David and Marsha.) Can you believe that? 2013?
Deaf schools and mainstreamed schools are in need to improve education system for the Deaf children. I asked a teacher about the Deaf children, she mentioned that most Deaf children have no self esteem or no role models to look up at. They need to grow their self esteem to love themselves. They need to have a role model to look up at so they can achieve anything they dream.
My volunteers & I are looking forward to visiting Puerto Rico on this Fall. We will be interacting with Deaf Puerto Ricans within the Deaf Community. We hope by sharing our personal stories of accomplishments, we hope to inspire them to believe that they can aspire to achieve anything they dream!
My mother will be educating and inspiring families on building relationships and better communication with their deaf child through lectures and presentations.
In appreciation of your donation, you will receive a small "Thank You" gift in return! Share this on Facebook, Twitter, and even email your friends and family. A donation of $5 can make a huge difference in each child's life.
"We are like one water drop on the surface ocean and make a big wave all over." Make a big impact. :) You can check the video and make a donation through here: www.gofundme.com/fundesd.
