Who Uses CART (i.e. Captioning)?

"When an event needs to be made inclusive, projecting the CART display for the benefit of the entire room can be the best way to provide universal access for Deaf, late deafened, and hard of hearing people, as well as people who might have some degree of hearing loss but who don’t self-identify as hard of hearing or deaf. CART is also useful for English language learners and people with dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, or ADHD. When the CART display is available to every audience member, no one has to feel singled out or as if they’re demanding special privileges. Everyone benefits."

"For various reasons, 

churches 

have lagged behind wider 

trends in

 society to be inclusive of 

people 

with disabilities."

"With the growth of broadband access, improved software, and need for  CART in many settings, providers are now offering remote CART services.   The CART provider, located elsewhere, uses a telephone line {now evolved to wireless/wifi} to pick up   audio and an Internet account to transmit the captions to a computer at the  location where the deaf or hard of hearing individual needs the captions."

How do you make it Inclusive to all those who are deaf and hard of hearing?

"However, in order to serve ALL deaf, hard of hearing, 

the hearing impaired or people with hearing loss 

(whichever terms you choose), all of these accessible 

solutions need to be provided, and the Deaf and 

hearing impaired should always be placed down front 

where they can use their eyes to see to hear and the 

audio amplifiers to be picked up by their assistive 

devices. Captions should be on the wall or a screen for

 those who need to read what is being said."

"What does it mean for communication to be “effective”? Simply put, “effective communication” means that whatever is written or spoken must be as clear and understandable to people with disabilities as it is for people who do not have disabilities."

                      English to American Sign Language

“American Sign Language (ASL) is a language unto itself with its own grammar and syntax. American Sign Language uses word order that differs from English word order, and often an idea is expressed in ASL very differently than simply translating word-for-word what an English speakers would say. One sign in ASL may be used for a number of English words that are synonyms. ” (Source: https://sites.google.com/site/tvdsalibrary/home/the-difference-between-american-sign-language-and-signing-exact-english)

"Real time captioning is more verbatim than sign language interpretation. Sign language is not an exact representation of a spoken language and is a language of its own based on visual concepts. " (Source:  http://audio-accessibility.com/news/2013/02/cart-or-asl-or-ald/)

                  Should Churches use Real time Captioning?

"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."
