Hi, my name is Megan and I’m working towards my Masters’s in Social Work at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ.  I’m currently working on a research study to see if there is a relationship between the quality of communication with healthcare providers and pregnancy complications experienced by Deaf women.  I’m looking for participants between the ages of 18-35 who have given birth in the last 2 years.  Feel free to contact me to discuss this further.  Thank you so much.  

Kindly,

Megan Warshauer

My name is Crystal Bowers, and I am a mechanical engineering student at George Mason University. For my mechanical engineering capstone class, my team and I are developing technical modifications to improve the experience of autonomous and conventional vehicles by drivers who are deaf or hard of hearing.

We are hoping to learn more about any specific needs or pain points felt by drivers who are deaf or hard of hearing to ensure we are in continuous dialogue with people who are underserved to learn from their experiences rather than simply imagining what those experiences might be.

I was wondering if you would be willing to answer three questions to allow my team and I to learn more about the needs of drivers who are deaf or hard of hearing over email? I also have a Google Form with the questions if any members would be willing to answer.

Thank you for your kind consideration!

Sincerely,
Crystal Bowers

UD/Center for Disabilities Studies (CDS) is doing a study about people with disabilities and the COVID-19 vaccine. We want to know if people with disabilities, their families, and their caregivers are having trouble getting COVID-19 shots.

Participants will complete a 30-minute interview over the phone or Zoom. People who volunteer for the interview will receive a $10 Amazon gift card for their time. If you would like to be interviewed, you can:

Please consider volunteering for this interview because it is important that people with disabilities, their families and caregivers share their experiences.

Survey ends @May 17, 2022.

The goal of this study is to assess the preparedness of audiologists to work with people with disabilities from the view of persons served, audiologists, and audiology education programs. An audiologist is a professional involved in the diagnosing and treating of hearing loss, balance disorders, and disorders of the auditory pathway. The project is being conducted by Jessica Krause under the supervision of Dr. Evelyn Davies-Venn at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. This survey is intended to be taken by disabled individuals or their caregivers.

Are your Video Relay Service (VRS) calls with hearing people giving you the same experience as hearing people’s calls with other people? That’s what we want to find out. We want to know what you like about your VRS calling experience, we also want to know what you’re frustrated with. The NAD needs to gather your stories to identify gaps in the VRS industry and share those gaps with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The NAD is urging innovation and up to date technology to ensure that deaf and hard of hearing people’s calling experiences are equivalent to hearing people’s experiences. Tell us your VRS story found at https://www.nad.org/tell-us-your-experience-using-vrs.
