The
Puzzled:
has always been a strong
member of the deaf community and has always felt that hearing people should have more deaf
people with them in professional life. She/he
has seen the problems which deaf people have in dealing with their emotions and behaviour
and wants to help. So far there has not been
an opportunity for training at least not to the level of the hearing staff and he/she
feels a little uncertain. However, the main
problem is that the helping of deaf people seems to be a much smaller part of the job than
was envisaged. For most of the time there
are meetings with hearing people, or when these are not taking place, there are sets of tasks which have to be completed
which are not within her/his experience. The
relation of these activities to making deaf people better is very puzzling. The lack of other deaf people can increase the
problem; and discussions with other puzzled deaf people may only compound the
difficulty. |
