I recently took a couple of deaf students for malaria and typhoid tests at a clinic we trust.
The students shared the tribal remedies they have used in the past. Local nurses said that whilst research shows some remedies are effective, the lack of hygiene when they are applied often causes other infections.
Developing medical sign vocabulary moved a step closer when we recently met qualified and student nurses. They asked us for some deaf awareness training and some medical signs to aid initial assessment. We hope to co-develop these with local deaf people familiar with this area of vocabulary.
I made several visitsto Eruba Primary School this month to try and ensure that their deaf students be allowed by regional educational officials to be part of their school teams. There is no alternative event for these 45 deaf to compete in. Most regularly & happily play with/against their hearing counterparts, at a comparable standard.
Teaching staff have said that match officials and hearing players need sports sign language vocab. to change attitudes towards the involvement of deaf children in competitive sport. Co-developers are being sought. Ad
