Catholics with Hearing Loss: Captioning the Catholic Mass
Apps for Breaking Communication Barriers for the deaf and hard of hearing:
Maybe these could help at the Catholic confessional, meeting with the priest or staff, and other parts of church life (small group discussions etc. ):
See:
For Deaf people who do not speak the spoken language; a real time interpreter goes tech: SEE http://time.com/3529629/motionsavvy-deaf/
This app converts sign language into text or speech (for those who use sign language for a hearing person to read or hear and also has speech to text). See http://www.motionsavvy.com
There is an app called 'I See What you Say' speech to text. The hearing person speaks and the deaf person reads. :

Captioning Shares the Message
__________________________
" Many people who are Deaf or hard of hearing grew up hearing or were educated in an “oral tradition”, and do not know sign language. Not all Deaf or hard of hearing people find assistive listening devices to be effective. For these individuals, captioning may provide an effective way of communication – seeing what is said. "
____________________________________________________________________
"The overwhelming majority of people categorized as deaf by the NHS and SIPP are perfectly fluent speakers of
English (or another spoken language) and did not experience any difficulty hearing until well
into adulthood (e.g., Blanchfield, Dunbar, Feldman, & Gardner, 1999; Mitchell, 2005). As a
consequence, most people who are audiologically deaf do not use sign language."

The deaf and hard of hearing in other
churches
advocating for CART (aka real time
captioning):
A church event in a public place was offering sign language interpreter, spanish interpreter and almost didn't provide real time captioning (CART) which is translating spoken English into verbatim English in real time like interpretation does that allows the majority of the deaf and hard of hearing to be able to PARTICIPATE like the others! However, in the end, they were granted CART (real time captioning) that allows the same equal and effective communication access that ADA would support in secular society.

The Deaf/deaf/HOH need Universal Access:
"When designing a space or
planning
an event, we need to strive for
universal access—so that all
members of our communities can
attend and participate. This means
that, in addition to ramps and
elevators, we need assistive
listening technology like hearing
loops and captions, and signage
that makes it clear that the service
is available. This is a goal that we
can achieve, but in order to do so,
we need to change the way we
think about communication and
hearing access. "

"Accessible meeting space allowseveryone to participate."
__________________________________________"Of all the barriers to full participation and inclusion, the barrier of unexamined attitudes is the most difficult to address," states Ginny Thornburgh, director of the American Association of People with Disabilities' Interfaith Initiative."(Source: http://www.disabilitiesandfaith.org)__________________________________________________________The purpose of this blog is to raise Diversity Awareness among those with hearing loss and deafness, and to raise awareness that many with hearing loss are being excluded from full participation at the Mass if the church does not have Captioning. Catholics with hearing loss deserve the fullness of their faith. Does your Diocese/Archdiocese have at least one Mass service in Captioning at a church that one who benefits from it can reasonably travel to in order to fully and actively participate at the Mass? Contact your Diocese/Archdiocese - find it here: http://www.usccb.org/about/bishops-and-dioceses/all-dioceses.cfm.)US Bishop Statement:
'It is essential that all forms of the liturgy be completely accessible to people with disabilities, since these forms are the essence of the spiritual tie that binds the Christian community together'
(Source: http://www.disabilityawarenesstraining.com/component/content/article/3/40)_________________________________________________________________
Is your church or Diocese/Archdiocese inclusive to all those with hearing loss and deafness by providing Real time Captioning, Sign Language and Audio Loops? If not - Diversity and Inclusion Awareness is needed in order to share the joy of the gospel by applying Universal Communication Access. It is very important to share the Word of God with everyone. Let's pray for that!Prayer of Inclusion: http://www.ncpd.org/ministries-programs/spirituality/prayers
