ABC's Radio National Late Night Live program has produced a really insightful interview about Deafness. I think it's well worth a listen and might give you a good insight into deaf culture and the medical model of deafness in Australia and internationally.
Deaf Culture Summary Is deafness a disadvantage or a different way of being? Members of the deaf community and medical doctors discuss the notion of a distinct 'deaf culture'. This program was originally broadcast in 1993 and won a Human Rights Award. http://www.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/feeds/lnl_20060310.mp3 25 MB runs for approximately 1 hour Lisa Herrod Senior Consultant, Usability P: 02 9467 5047 M: 0403 795 435 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Access Testing The Experts in Testing Sydney : Melbourne : Brisbane www.accesstesting.com This email is confidential, intended solely for the addressees, and may be legally privileged.
