[Ohio-Talk] Have You Ever Seen the movie "See no evil, Hear no evil?"

Wed May 5 12:40:09 UTC 2021

Thank you for this information.  Before losing my sight, I worked as a
Teletype Operator, (T.T.Y.) at the Miami Valley Relay System for United Way
of Dayton, for 4.5 years.  I took sign language and attended the Deaf
Community meetings.  I even had friends that are deaf.
I am telling you all this now because, this evening, I am supposed to be
getting a new Lap-Top from my God-Son.  I may not be available for this
event.  I will certainly try.

Is that the one with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder?

evil?"

Ohio, Members and Friends,

As I reflect back on the movie "Hear no evil and See no evil", I am reminded
how Richard Prier and Gene Wilder worked together in providing what the
other could not. Gene was deaf and Richard was blind. However, they were
quite helpful and assisted each other throughout the movie. They taught one
another how to provide necessary accommodations.

Although, this was a comedy, living with a duel disability is no laughing
matter. So, this is why the NFB Ohio Deaf-Blind Committee is so important.
We have several Ohio members who have dual disabilities and all are highly
capable and productive citizens. However, in our community, there are
equally those who need our support, awareness and advocacy. Moreover, we who
do not live with a duel disability should be open in learning, understanding
and providing empathy to situational incidents.  Thus, become educated how
to interact appropriately with our members and the deaf-blind community.
Even if you are not deaf, blind or deaf-blind, the mission is the same in
the National Federation of the Blind. We transform lives into reality. We
bring people into a network of tens of thousands of blind and deaf-blind
people who are living full lives and who can serve as mentors and role
models. Yes, that is you and you!  

We will host Alice Eaddy, who is the National President of the Deaf-Blind
Division. Also, below are the Deaf-Blind Communication Rules. Please read
them prior to this powerful and enlightening meeting.  

Remember, we are all in this together. A true federationist do not pick and
choose what capacity should I serve; but how can I best serve our fellow
members and others! Therefore, I implore you to come and participate with
our meet and greet on tomorrow, May 5, 2021 at 6:30 PM EDT. The zoom invite
is below!

Note: All are welcomed!

The zoom info is below!

Communication Etiquette for Ensuring Full Participation for All:

1. Speak clearly and slowly. Take a breath between sentences. Reframe from
mumbling, chewing, breathing hard, or talking with others in the same room.

2. When speaking, always hold your head up and speak towards the microphone,
computer, device or group. 

3. At the beginning of every meeting, introductions are made. Introductions
should not be at rapid fire but done very casually with a small amount of
time between each introduction. 

4. Only one person should be speaking at a time. It is difficult for hard of
hearing people to hear and follow the conversation when everyone speaks at
one time.  

5. Depending on the meeting type, it might be necessary to raise your hand
and wait to be called upon before speaking. In other situations, saying your
name during a pause between remarks will notify the meeting coordinator or
monitor that your seeking the floor.  Please state your name before
delivering your remarks. Speaking just your first name is sufficient. 

6. The Zoom meeting or conference call facilitators will identify by name
all participants whose hands are raised and the order in which those persons
will be called upon.

7. Between persons speaking, give at least 20 seconds pause. This allows for
those on the phone to hear what is being said. As well as anyone using
accommodations to catch up with the previous comments. 

8. Please be courteous when someone is speaking. Allow them the time to say
what they need without jumping in, talking over the speaker, or distracting
other committee members from actively listening. 

9. Remember  when using Zoom or the telephone, allow pauses for those people
to provide their comments. Silence is not bad and should not always be
filled with talking. Its okay to take a break to check in with folks to see
if they have questions or comments. 

10. Please forward any handouts for distribution to the meeting facilitator
ahead of time to ensure equal access for all participants.

11. If using Zoom or telephone, please try to eliminate all background noise
as much as possible. If you are not able to reduce the amount of noise,
please use the mute function.
