Ireland Ignores Legal Recognition Sign Languages

Deaf News: Sign language gives tens of thousands of Irish people the priceless gift of communication but it's still unrecognised as an official language by the Irish State.

DUBLIN, IRELAND - Now, 40 local authorities are heaping pressure on the Government to fully recognise Irish Sign Language (ISL) as an official language, the Sunday Independent has learned.



More than a year after the Seanad rejected a bill to legally recognise ISL, county and city councils, all over the country, have passed a motion on the issue to "help put pressure on local TDs".



After more than 30 years of campaigning, Eddie Redmond CEO of the Irish Deaf Society (IDS) says the community still feels hugely isolated and ignored at national level.



Speaking through an interpreter, Mr Redmond said: "The Government have been avoiding the issue. There is huge uproar among the Deaf community, because we are cut off from access to information.



"Every citizen should have access to services as a human right, and until there is adequate provision, the Deaf community will continue to be discriminated against and there will be a constant invalidation," he said.



Eight years ago, the Irish government signed the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which contains duties towards native sign languages. To date, Ireland remains one of the few European countries that have not ratified the convention into law.



Meanwhile, 45 other countries - including the UK and Northern Ireland - have granted legal status to their own unique sign language... Read more: http://independent.ie/irish-news/news/deaf-community-roar-for-recognition-of-sign-language.html

Audree Norton, Pioneering Deaf Actress Dies At 88

Deaf News: Audree Lauraine Norton, Pioneering Deaf Actress, Dies at 88.



Hollywood Reporter - Audree Norton, who many consider the first Deaf actress to appear in a featured role on an American network TV series, has died. She was 88.



Norton, a founding member of The National Theatre of the Deaf, died April 22 in Fremont, Calif., her family announced.



In September 1968, on “The Silent Cry,” the episode that kicked off the second season of the CBS crime drama Mannix, Norton starred as a Deaf woman who, while reading the lips of a man talking inside a phone booth, realizes that he’s plotting to kidnap someone.



She seeks out good-guy private detective Joe Mannix (Mike Connors). He investigates, putting their lives in jeopardy.



Norton would later appear on such series as Family Affair and The Streets of San Francisco.



Norton also played a Deaf mother who wanted to adopt a child in a 1971 episode of ABC’s The Man and the City, and she and her husband, Kenneth, who also was Deaf, auditioned for roles as parents in a 1978 ABC Afterschool Special titled “Mom and Dad Can’t Hear Me.”



According to the 1988 book Hollywood Speaks: Deafness and he Film Entertainment Industry, written by John S. Schuchman, a casting director told Norton that “of all the people, you and your husband won the roles. But you are out because the director is afraid to use Deaf actors and actresses.”



Instead, Priscilla Pointer and Stephen Elliott were cast, and Norton filed a complaint with the Screen Actors Guild. Schuchman suggests that Norton’s grievance cost her a career in television but paved the way for other Deaf actors to work...

Deaf Actors - Choose Not To or Can't Speak ?

VIDEO [CC] - Viola Rose Muir: Deaf actors in Hollywood that choose not to or can't speak?



A summary about Viola Rose Muir experience in NYC acting class with 2 of 3 agents expecting her to speak. Quotes: "You know, in Hollywood, the hearing folks, I mean, many Deaf actors can talk, and to receive that feedback was not surprising. Then the casting director said, "Make sure you send these agents a thank you card." I had a thought so I raised my hand to ask Paul a question, "In that thank you card, I wanted to put in the word, 'Audism'."



He was intrigued and asked what it was and I explained that, "Audism is a form of oppression, 'you can speak, you must speak, you must hear, the expectation of Deaf/HOH having to act like a hearing person, oppressing us by thinking that hearing people are better than Deaf or Hard of hearing people, that kind of attitude or way of thinking."

Paul was cautious and said, "Make sure you don't sound so defensive but you can talk and use it as your marketability skill." I said, "I know, right-right, that's fine, sure, but what about those Deaf people who can't talk at all and they want to get into Hollywood and to be in movies. That's not fair. Saying, "Lines are supposed to be spoken", that's not reality, that's not our world today, our world is so diverse, we have different and all kinds of people, they can't just limit by saying, "You must speak only.", that's not realistic....

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) have launched a new video version of its successful Underwear Rule guidance today to help keep Deaf children safe from sexual abuse.



The film is in British Sign Language and includes subtitles. It aims to teach Deaf children about the Underwear Rule and encourages them to share secrets that upset them with a trusted adult.

The successful campaign is designed to allow parents to start easy conversations with their children without having to mention scary words like sex or abuse. It teaches them that their privates are private and that their body belongs to them. See BSL video: https://youtu.be/lvD74L86Mr8
