Dear parents of deaf children,
If I may, I’d like to share this video message with all of you (see below) as it speaks volumes of our (me and many others) concerns with how a deaf baby and parents are brought through the “system” in BC from ages 0-5. I have posted the video in YouTube and Facebook more than a month ago, without captions, and it hit over 1,800 views. I’ve received many responses, both public and private, and the concerns are almost globally mutual. Many asked to have the video captioned for further outreach in the hearing community, so after long, painful hours of adding subtitles by myself, I finally did it! Please feel free to share your thoughts by posting comments on my YouTube, Facebook wall, or leave me a private message and I can post it for you anonymously (or just for my eyes only — just let me know). I need stories and evidences to prove my case, so rest assured this won’t be the last of me! This is only the beginning! Looking forward to your support and input!
Truly yours,
Jodi
