How to assist the disabled【hearing impaired】
|
When rescuing them from their homes, calling out to them or making sounds would not be effective, so a flashlight would help catch their attention. Once you do so, blow a whistle to let others know where you are. |
|
Update them with information provided by the radio. Also, give them information on food distribution at shelters. |
|
【Method】Write (On paper) |
|
【Method】If you do not have the tools to write on paper, write on the person’s palm slowly, or in the air and enunciate the letters while you do so, to help them understand. |
|
【Method】Many hearing impaired can read lips. They watch the way your mouth moves to understand what you are saying. Make sure to face them and enunciate slowly so they can do so. |
|
【Method】Sign-language. You may also communicate by using the hands, expressions and actions. Many times, these signs can help convey. Expressions are a part of sign language. |
|
【Method】When you can use the phone line, contact them by Fax. Emails can also be an effective means of communication. |
