More Deaf News

I know I said I would get back to Repetitive Motion Injury- but there is lots of stuff going on!

First of all, The Catholic Church has been accused of repeatedly looking the other way while priests abused deaf children. There are stories in Italy and the United States.

A Philadelphia agency that provides services to the Deaf and hard of Hearing has lost most of its staff and its interim executive director. This leaves many going without assistance they have had for over 14 years.

New Kids on the Block star Joey McIntyre has released to the press that his second son was born deaf in December of last year. Right now hearing aids are helping the family to adjust.

And finally, a piece of fun news: The Oregon Shakespeare festival is providing open captions during 11 shows. It may help that Howie Sego is starring as the Ghost of Hamlet's father.

So if the news will let me - next week we will get back to identifying the warning signals of repetitive motion injury.
