Apple’s intention is to help those who have mild hearing loss but don’t yet qualify for a hearing aid. I used the tag #Deafblind in my original post. I figured that would identify the difference between me and someone with mild hearing loss that doesn’t yet qualify for hearing aids.
New month, new theme:
#AssistanceInApril
Every day I’ll show you something I use to navigate life as a #Deafblind person. It might be an app, assistive tech, mainstream tech or a useful object.
This is a remote mic. Ppl can speak into it so I can hear them more clearly in my hearing aids.
Remember the Anne Sullivan Medal to Walter Wittich and Ricard López, paying tribute to the very important work carried out by everyone involved in the ICF Core Sets project? Now we are happy to share Walter’s thank-you video.

A woman and a man are clearly beaming at the camera. Both are middle-aged. They are sitting next to each other, the woman in a wheelchair. Both have their hands folded, their upper bodies leaning towards each other. In the background is a restaurant setting, with flats behind the large windows.
What a great evening chat with Heba Hagrass, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Among other things, about the ICF Core Sets and the development of a global definition for deafblindness.

Foto modificata di un gesto con il pollice alzato. Il pollice è colorato di rossastro, lo sfondo è bluastro-rossastro.
Emerso recentemente durante una riunione sull'inclusione nel mercato del lavoro primario: la necessità di una raccolta di vocaboli fondamentali nella lingua dei segni. In altre parole: l'idea di PORTA - fantastico!
