THE PUSH TO REPLACE "MENTAL RETARDATION" WITH "INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY"
"Rosa's Law," a bill introduced in the U.S. Senate to eliminate the terms
"mental retardation" and "mentally retarded" from the federal law books and use
"intellectual disability" instead, has gathered 28 co-sponsors from both sides
of the aisle in the U.S. Congress. Many are members of the Senate Committee on
Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, to which the bill has been referred. The
bill, S. 2781, was introduced in November by Senators Barbara A. Mikulski (D-MD)
and Michael B. Enzi (R-WY).

THE SOUR ORCHIDS
President's Budget Includes $250 Stimulus Payment for Social Security Recipients
President Obama's Fiscal Year 2011 budget proposes a $250 payment to Social
Security recipients. The relief would come at a time when Social Security
beneficiaries will not be receiving a normal cost-of-living adjustment (COLA)
because of a formula that forbids adjustments during times of negative
inflation. "Without a COLA, far too many of America's seniors will find it even
more difficult to purchase basic necessities, heat their homes and pay for their
medications," said Barbara J. Easterling, President of the Alliance. "We urge
Congress to similarly work to provide much-needed economic relief to older
Americans who are struggling to make ends meet during these difficult times,"
she continued. "The President's budget proposal will provide Social Security
beneficiaries with the equivalent of a 2% increase in benefits and will help
greatly to bolster their financial security." As expected, the budget also calls
for a Bipartisan Fiscal Commission that will address the growth of entitlement
spending, including Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. A plan to freeze
non-security discretionary spending for three years to address the budget
deficit would not affect those programs. "We must watch this fiscal commission
development carefully, so that the budget is not balanced on the backs of
seniors," said Edward F. Coyle, Executive Director of the Alliance.

FROM THE NEWSLETTER READERS
Dear Deafness Specialist,
I’m writing to let you know about this book which was featured as book of the month in the December/January 2009 issue of RNID’s One in Seven magazine. Now available on CD for large print or use with screen reading software, as well as in regular print, of “Words in My Hands, A Teacher, A Deaf-Blind Man, An Unforgetable Journey reviewer Michael Simmons says:
“in sheer humanity…this book, a true story, is told with almost palpable joy–and tears–at all the ups and downs involved…this is straight American-talk about relations between a deaf-blind client and his teachers, and Helen Keller understandably, is evoked.”
With my degree in Therapeutic Recreation, I am also a certified sign language interpreter in Colorado, and the author of this book about an elderly deaf-blind man who played classical piano. Before he lost his sight and hearing to Usher Syndrome Bert Riedel was a dentist in Lombard, Illinois. I met him when he was eighty-six-years old when I was hired to be his teacher. I taught him how to read tactile sign language.
While the story illustrates psychosocial factors that complicate the disabilities of deafness and deaf-blindness, it carries an inspirational message as well. This book is a resource for educators, rehabilitation counselors, and other professionals who work or interact with the deaf, blind, elderly, or disabled. It is for families who deal with a member’s hearing loss, vision loss, or other disability. This book shows how miracles can happen where there are dedicated professionals and
caregivers.
Words in My Hands has received:
An award from The National League of American Pen Women
Praise from acclaimed author, Joanne Greenberg, from Patricia Clark, researcher of
ASL at Rochester Institute of Technology, and B.J. LeJeune, Director of
Deaf-Blind Programs at Mississippi State University.

DO YOU HAVE TINNITUS? ARE YOUR EARS RINGING ALOUD BY ITSELF? DO YOU WANT THAT TO STOP?
Tinnitus affects people with or without hearing loss.
Tinnitus is the ringing sensation that occurs in the ears. Severe tinnitus can be painful and disable a person. Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center has two people serving in a patient advocacy council. Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center wants to help people retain their productivity by helping them manage tinnitus.
We are introducing a nutraceutical cocktail of Ginkgo Biloba, Zinc, and Garlic to manage tinnitus (ringing) in the ears. New studies show that a combination of these three working together helps manage tinnitus. We have the research that suggest the cocktail helps manage tinnitus.
This cocktail doesn't create the flush reaction you get from using high dosage of Niacin taken to manage tinnitus.
Tinnitus management kit contains Ginkgo Biloba, Zinc, Garlic, pill minders box, carrying case, and 2 sets of ear plugs.
Kit is assembled by people with disabilities.

FROM THE NEWSLETTER READERS
Dear Deafness Specialist,
I’m writing to let you know about this book which was featured as book of the month in the December/January 2009 issue of RNID’s One in Seven magazine. Now available on CD for large print or use with screen reading software, as well as in regular print, of “Words in My Hands, A Teacher, A Deaf-Blind Man, An Unforgetable Journey reviewer Michael Simmons says:
“in sheer humanity…this book, a true story, is told with almost palpable joy–and tears–at all the ups and downs involved…this is straight American-talk about relations between a deaf-blind client and his teachers, and Helen Keller understandably, is evoked.”
With my degree in Therapeutic Recreation, I am also a certified sign language interpreter in Colorado, and the author of this book about an elderly deaf-blind man who played classical piano. Before he lost his sight and hearing to Usher Syndrome Bert Riedel was a dentist in Lombard, Illinois. I met him when he was eighty-six-years old when I was hired to be his teacher. I taught him how to read tactile sign language.
While the story illustrates psychosocial factors that complicate the disabilities of deafness and deaf-blindness, it carries an inspirational message as well. This book is a resource for educators, rehabilitation counselors, and other professionals who work or interact with the deaf, blind, elderly, or disabled. It is for families who deal with a member’s hearing loss, vision loss, or other disability. This book shows how miracles can happen where there are dedicated professionals and
caregivers.
Words in My Hands has received:
An award from The National League of American Pen Women
Praise from acclaimed author, Joanne Greenberg, from Patricia Clark, researcher of
ASL at Rochester Institute of Technology, and B.J. LeJeune, Director of
Deaf-Blind Programs at Mississippi State University.

Open Letter To Ryan Commerson
Ryan Commerson,
Responding to http://signcasts.com/node/258
You're complaining about TRS companies exploiting the deaf community? The fact is you all asked for it, you all let it happen.
I'm the one that discovered that the AOL's AIM service can be used for a TRS protocol.
Go look at the birth date of AOL's OCDACRelay AIM name.
That's when I discovered it. That's when I started experimenting with it as relay service for the deaf people.
Did the deaf community cherish it? No They pooh poohed it saying its 'not going to work', 'a crazy idea', and a bunch of other demeaning responses. Years later AIM relay companies started popping up. Hearing people got the credit because you all let them get it. If I was allowed to get the credit, I'd use the resources and revenue to protect deaf people's ideas from exploitation by the hearing people.
You all looked the other way instead.
You all set the ground for exploitation by hearing people.
Now the exploitation you're complaining about is all from you people because you all let it happen in the first place.
Richard Roehm

This Volcano House Listing Perfect For High-End R-4 Rehab House For Deaf!
I came across this property and it looks perfect for a high-end R-4 house for wealthy deaf addicts. Ultimate privacy and free from the urban distractions. Wealthy deafies dont want to go to Awakenings, they tell me that for sure!
This just an idea until I have 800 grand to invest. I can run a R-4 house. I used to operate one in Midway City from '87-'92 that failed because of the urban distractions like bars, liquor stores, and big city crap. This place would definitely eliminate most of the problems I had running the R-4 house in Midway City.
The listing info
The Yahoo satellite image and map location
If you can spare me the $800 grand, I can make this dream into reality.

FACE TO FACE TIMES
As We Reflect Upon Ourselves, Lets Stop And Think Of The Less Fortunate Hearing
Impaired And Disabled Folks.
At this time of the year, as we reflect upon our own lives, lets stop and think
about the other hearing impaired and disabled around us who are less fortunate.
Some of our friends like these cannot afford to feed their families. Some of
them live in cars, in parks, or in alleys. For a few, its by choice, for most
it's by chance.
This shopping list will be a good holiday basket to a family of 4.
* 3 cans meat (6.5 oz, tuna, pork, chicken, or beef)
* 3 cans vegetables (15 oz.)
* 3 cans fruit (16 oz)
* 3 cans soup (11 oz.)
* 3 boxes of macaroni and cheese
* 2 boxes of dry soup
* 2 boxes of hot cereal
* 2 lbs. dry beans
* 2 lbs rice
* 2 boxes powdered milk (2 qt.)
* 2 cans of evaporated milk
* 2 boxes crackers
* 1 jar peanut butter (18 oz.)
Optional items: dish detergent, toothpaste, soap bars.
Also add : Information on local food banks, food assistance programs, and local
soup kitchens.
Also if you wish, you can add other food items to spice up the holiday basket
with items like spices, ethnic foods, and cultural foods. I get messages each
year that my shopping list is either boring, flavorless, and short-sighted.
So please, if you can afford it, grab some extra groceries for a hearing
impaired and disabled's family. An ideal holiday gift to a needy family like
these would be groceries that lasts a few days. Contact your local hearing
loss/disability association for information on connecting to a needy family.

The infamous Aguilar VS Errigo case shows how far and ridiculous the sign
language militants can go to intimidate a cochlear implant deaf family.
See the case transcript at http://www.hear-for-life.org/r&mcasetranscript/
This is the weirdness people who favor cochlear implants have to put up with
from the sign language and deaf culture militants in California.

this age group.
* 30.6 million were between the ages of 21 and 64. Fifty-seven percent of them

DO YOU HAVE TINNITUS? ARE YOUR EARS RINGING ALOUD BY ITSELF? DO YOU WANT THAT
TO STOP?
Tinnitus affects people with or without hearing loss.
Tinnitus is the ringing sensation that occurs in the ears. Severe tinnitus can
be painful and disable a person. Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center has two
people serving in a patient advocacy council. Orange County Deaf Advocacy
Center wants to help people retain their productivity by helping them manage
tinnitus.
We are introducing a nutraceutical cocktail of Ginkgo Biloba, Zinc, and Garlic
to manage tinnitus (ringing) in the ears. New studies show that a combination
of these three working together helps manage tinnitus. We have the research
that suggest the cocktail helps manage tinnitus.
This cocktail doesn't create the flush reaction you get from using high dosage
of Niacin taken to manage tinnitus.
Tinnitus management kit contains Ginkgo Biloba, Zinc, Garlic, pill minders box,
carrying case, and 2 sets of ear plugs.
Kit is assembled by people with disabilities.

Dear list members,
I am wondering.
I am a faculty member in community rehabilitation and disability studies at the
University of Calgary, Canada. One of my research areas is to look at changed
perception and impact of so called 'therapeutic' devices that might outperform
the
'normal' human body. Hearing aids might in the future give hearing abilities
that go beyond the 'normal'.
I started a study with the purpose is better understand the sentiment towards
a) today's hearing aids in general and b) hypothetical future hearing aids with
various and different features that might surpass the `normal' hearing and c)
the sentiment towards sign language and what the respondent think about the
linkage of hearing aids and sign language.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=00jR3aFM_2fTyJr5rp1xlsKg_3d_3d
It would be great if you would fill out the survey!!!
Thanks!!!!

"Across this country, millions of people with disabilities are working or want

Why donors should help Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center more?
That is because Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center has gotten a lot of deaf and
disabled off the streets. That is because Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center
trains people to become independent both on and off the jobs. That is because
there is a demand that continues to grow for our assistance and services. That
is because Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center is a recognized organization

disabilities, their friends, associates, and relatives and promote advocacy in
the disability community. Information circulated herein does not necessarily

The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center is a community based organization that
puts people with disabilities first in their advocacy for equal opportunities in
safety, health, and productive living.
The Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center provides services for disabled
individuals and their families in our community who need help in navigating the
social services maze. Every day people go without proper food, shelter, and
essential medical care every day due to a variety of factors including low
wages, job loss, injuries, illness, age, domestic violence, or divorce. While
all of us are susceptible to hard times, disabled individuals are at the most
risk. With the generous support of people like you, we are able to help many of
these families and individuals not only to meet essential daily needs, but to
work toward a brighter future with programs in job training, education,
counseling, elderly assistance, and temporary housing.
