VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: RIT on TV - New classroom technology helps Deaf and Hard of Hearing RIT students.
ROCHESTER, NY -- WHEC-TV: New technology is being used at Rochester Institute of Technology to help students learn and communicate in and out of the classroom.
The new technologies include voice recognition apps, video remote-interpreting and captioning services, just to name a few. This is technology that students say is changing the way they're communicating both in an out of class.
The ability to fully hear is something some of these RIT students do not have, but the ability to communicate is something they do, and it just got a whole lot easier.
“The world is becoming more accessible to Deaf people,” says Rico Petersen, Assistant Dean and Director of the Department of Access Services. “Typically they might not know sign language, or they might prefer English instead of sign language, so we have a provider that is trained in specialized software. They go into class and type live what is being said.”
It starts with captioning services for entire classrooms - lectures scrolling on a screen in front of the students in real time. The technology can even be brought out of the classrooms and into the lives of the students at home, or with friends thanks to the Ava app, making group face-to-face conversations that much easier. People looking to download the AVA app can email Hello@ava.me and ask how to sign up or get more info.
Even for those one-on-one studying sessions, new video remote interpreting, or VRIS used.
“It's much easier and more clear using your expression and so forth rather than writing back and forth,” says Bryan ward, RIT gradute.
With 130 interpreters on staff and more than 4,000 hours of interpreting done a week at RIT, this new technology is needed. “It really is having an impact on the Deaf world because it makes access easier to come by,” says Peterson.
The entire Deaf community has access to this new technology. Professors say there are still some situations where interpreters work best, but the new technology is simply a way to make every-day actions easier. Source

Deaf News: Helsinki Design School fined in Deaf discrimination case.
HELSINKI -- The Helsinki District Court has slapped a fine 1,200-euro on the head of a private Helsinki Design School for retracting its offer of a place to a Deaf applicant. The court found the institution and its principal guilty of discrimination but the defendants say they are considering an appeal.
Back in 2014, privately-run Helsinki Design School turned away design student Oskari Salomaa, citing insufficient resources to provide interpreter services. The institution had previously accepted Salomaa for the year-long program, but retracted the place when it learned of his special needs.
On Monday, the Helsinki District Court ruled that the school had violated non-discrimination laws in refusing Salomaa the opportunity to study.
The court imposed a fine of 1,280 euros on the school CEO and also called on the institution and its chief executive to compensate Salomaa to the tune of 8,000 euros. The defendants are also required to settle Salomaa’s legal expenses, which amounted to nearly 8,500 euros.
Salomaa said that he was pleased with the outcome.
"This means that sign language users have a right to be part of Finnish society. I won’t appeal the decision," Salomaa said after the ruling.
Lawyer for the defendants, Jaana Juutilainen said that she was disappointed with the court’s decision.
"It’s very likely that we will see fit to take the case to the Court of Appeal," Juutilainen remarked. Read The Full Story

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Family tried to save Deaf man from fatal Smithfield house fire in North Carolina.
SMITHFIELD, NC -- WRAL: One man died on Saturday morning in a house fire in Smithfield, North Carolina, officials said.
The fire at the home on 5th Street near the Smithfield Police Department was reported at 5 a.m., according to the Smithfield Fire Department. Fire Chief John Blanton said crews received a call for a fire with someone trapped inside the home and arrived on scene at 5:05 a.m.
Search and rescue crews found one victim dead inside.
Mamie Stewart lived in the home that caught fire. Stewart said her nephew Michael Caroll Davis, 43, who was Deaf, died in the fire.
“He made me feel good all the time,” said Stewart of her nephew. “He loved to make sure I had my coffee in the morning when I got up.”
Stewart said she was up very early Saturday morning, reading her Bible, while Davis was asleep upstairs. Her grandson came home and said he smelled something burning, so Stewart said she walked toward the kitchen.
“I heard something and there was nothing but smoke and stuff. It just engulfed the house,” she said. Stewart said she and others tried to go back upstairs to get Davis, but couldn't reach him.
“I’m running upstairs, trying to get upstairs and the smoke engulfed me. I couldn’t see nothing and I know he couldn’t hear me,” she said. “We couldn’t save him.”
Davis had lived with his aunt since his mother died when he was ten-years-old.
“He wasn’t my child, but I raised him as mine and I loved him just as much as my own child that I gave birth to,” said Stewart."I just thank God for all the good things that I remember him by."
The other seven people in the home, who were all relatives of Stewart, were able to escape. The smoke detector in the home wasn't working, she said.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Johnston County Fire Marshal. Source
