Outlook Newsletter February 2012
Welcome to 2012! It has been a busy year already. I hope you enjoy reading about the many exciting things happening in the Deaf community so far this year.
I will briefly explain some of the articles:
• In her column, Executive Officer Karen Lloyd gives an update about the many issues that Deaf Australia is working hard to improve for Deaf people.
• National Broadband Network announcement. Children living in remote country areas will be able to access hearing services online through the NBN. For example, if the services they need are not available nearby, they can be accessed via video conferencing. The program is due to start once the NBN has been rolled out.
• Theatre captioning for smartphone! This new technology allows audience members to choose whether they watch the captioning for a performance on the big screen or via an app downloaded to a smartphone. If you've used this service, email us to let us know what you think of this technology.
• Life story of new Deaf Australia Life Member Kyle Miers. Kyle has a very interesting and inspirational life -- read more in Outlook.
• NABS 7th birthday! 7 years of good service for the Deaf community -- congratulations NABS!
• The Academic's Quarter -- this is a new regular section about what is happening in Deaf and Auslan research in Australian universities and why you should know about it! The February article is from Trevor Johnston -- find out more about Auslan Signbank and why it is important to study the past, present and future of Auslan.
• Frontrunner Leadership Training Program -- an international Deaf leadership training program. Drisana Levitzke-Gray is one of the few people selected each year -- congrtulations Drisana! If you want to support her in this program, please donate through Deaf Australia. Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
I hope you like the February Outlook! You can read the full version on the Deaf Australia website or ask Deaf Australia to email it to you!
