This course will teach you the basic steps of developing interactive skills as a health care provider when you face Deaf/hard-of-hearing patients.
DurationAmerican Sign Language is like any other language: French, Italian, Spanish, German; however, unlike these languages, ASL has no written form.
Nevertheless, ASL is comprised of rich body language and facial expressions. As a vital commodity in Canada, the health care system has its share of contact with Deaf/hard-of-hearing patients.
Due to communication barriers, the Deaf community has often struggled with the health care system.
This course will teach you the basic steps of developing interactive skills as a health care provider when you face Deaf/hard-of-hearing patients. You will find this course both fun and interesting.
Course Objectives
We will be selecting 15 Deaf Canadians to be featured in the illustrated book 'Deaf Canadians' in 2022. This book aims to showcase and tell the stories of Deaf Canadians who were able to achieve their goals despite hardships.
Please share this with your friends and people you know. We are looking for Deaf Canadians from all over Canada, of different race, genders, ages, and backgrounds.
Those who are selected will be asked to sign a longer, more detailed video (4 mins) for the book. If you are oral Deaf or not comfortable signing, you can speak or submit a written text and we will interpret it into ASL/LSQ.
