Hi SHHH Googlegroupers,
An update from Deafness Forum-
Deafness Forum participates in a working group where we are working
with
government, airline and airport industry representatives to improve
aviation
access for people who are Deaf, Deafblind, have a hearing impairment,
or a
chronic disorder of the ear.
We are seeking your comments on in flight travel (that is when you get
on
the plane, not about the airport itself) for some upcoming meetings in
July.
This might include
- captioning of programs/movies
- safety demos/explanations
- emergency instructions
- assistance animals
- exit row seating
- travelling with carers or independently
- communication with flight attendants
- other alerts or information on board that you cannot hear
- other
If you have any examples, good or bad, of in flight experiences,
please let
me know by 7 July 2009.
We are covering airports in a separate meeting and I can seek feedback
about
that another time. Please limit your comments only to when you are on
board
the plane.
Please feel free to pass this message on to others who might have an
interest in providing comments.
I hope to hear from you so we can try to improve the in flight
experience in
future.
Regards
Nicole Lawder
