I think the problem has been instigated by the Deaf Culture, because so many deafies draw SSD(DISABILITY)I that it causes the hearing population to assume that deafness IS a disability/handicapping condition.
Obviously this woman is working and therefore probably not drawing SSDI, so the label should not apply to her, but I can still see why it is the responsibility of the deaf population to change such stereotypes by not instigating them. We educate others more with what they see in our own behaviors and actions than by what we tell them.
Wise woman isn’t jumping to conclusions. There are always three sides to every story.
Right! It is required by the code of ethics.
I couldn’t agree more.
Wonderful analogy!
