Episode 3 - Being Heard
In this episode, we discuss Deaf culture and history and the social vs. medical models of disability.
Join Mihai Covaser and Élise Doucet as they discuss Deaf culture, service dogs (did you know that not only those who are blind use them?), and the history of D/deaf education in North America. Mihai and Élise give the Reader's Digest synopsis of how D/deaf individuals and those who are hard of hearing came to be treated the way they are in the current educational model and how Universal Design Principles can help to integrate the social model of disability more readily into society.
