How Media Depicts Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children, Adults and Their Families: Re-Framing the Possibilities
Often, the first Deaf or Hard of Hearing person new parents meet is their own child. These parents' sense of what it is like to be D/HH or parent a D/HH child often comes from what their limited experience with people with hearing loss, often from media.
Historically, the portrayal of D/HH people in the movies, television shows and videos has been negative; broken people incapable of taking care of themselves, society outcasts and isolated from the world.
This workshop looks into healthy marketing approaches to inspire new families of D/HH babies? to embrace their child? and their parenting journey with great hopes and dreams.
This presentation will review historical and current media framings of Deaf & Hard of Hearing people. It will also highlight the families' perspectives on the benefits of how the media with positive framings have helped them to connect better with their D/HH child.
