What do the deaf and hard of hearing use for Communication Access?:
more likely to be inactive Catholics
than their non-disabled counterparts."
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.)

Catholic Mass for the deaf and hard of hearing:
"Arrange for seating the Deaf community in the
front, near the
speaker.
Arrange for interpreter or real time captioning
services at
least
two weeks in advance.
Utilize room amplification system or personal
amplification
system.
Provide all materials to the interpreter or CART
reporter one
week in advance.
Provide bright lighting. Avoid creating a special
atmosphere
with dim lighting."

What do the deaf and hard of hearing use for Communication Access?:
ASL (American Sign Language) is used by the Culturally Deaf in the USA, CART (real time captioning) or its newer tech version called Remote CART is used by the late deaf, oral deaf and severe to profound hearing loss, ALD's (Assistive Listening Devices) are used by the hard of hearing (mild and moderate hearing loss). Captioning (CART) can sometimes be used by the culturally Deaf but you need to ask them first. The Hard of Hearing (mild and moderate) can also use captioning but they usually prefer Audio Loops. Again, you need to ask them first. Yes, I know I keep saying this through out my blog. We are diverse you see. We need to break the sound barriers for everyone so they can fully and actively participate and share the Joy of the Gospel to all.

"An obvious benefit of closed captioning
is to allow everyone to have an equal
opportunity to participate in and enjoy the
benefits of a service, program or activity."

"Accessible meeting space allowseveryone to participate."_____________________________________This Catholic church has real time captioning (CART) for the deaf and hard of hearing. It is like what you see on TV (CC):"St. Theresa Catholic Church in Ashburn, VA: HOMILY REAL-TIME TRANSLATION SERVICE NOW AVAILABLE VIA iPAD – Are you not hearing the Sunday mass homily as well as you’d like? Especially for the hearing impaired and deaf but open to all, you now have an amazing option to receive the Sunday mass homily, prayers of the faithful, and announcements via real-time translation (CART service) directly to your iPAD during mass! St. Theresa parishioner and professional court reporter Donna L. Linton has volunteered to provide the service (just like closed captioning on your television). Please contact Donna at CARTsttheresa@aol.com for information on mass times and how to join in. "_____________________________________________________________________________________
"CART is a type of “accommodation”
service for people with disabilities. In
function, CART is similar to sign
language interpreting for people who are
deaf, because it transforms spoken
language into a visual format that is
appropriate for people with hearing loss.
But CART can be used by the 95% of
hard of hearing and deaf people who do
not use American Sign Language (ASL)
to communicate."

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!
