‘Disability Law News’ Blog Cites IDK’s Advocacy
By admin | March 3, 2010
A ‘Disability Law News’ blog post, Deaf Children and Inclusive Education, cites IDK on how live captioning benefits a deaf student at Trinity College.
Trinity College’s Deaf Support in Third-Level (DS3) programme, offers multiple supports to deaf students, of which captioning is just one option.
Education supports help unlock deaf students’ full potential, but the students have to self-advocate for their own supports. Before first meeting a college access officer, students need to know what supports are available, and can be arranged. While this situation is not ideal, it’s a step in the right direction.
