So happy to see this image of Father Cyril Axelrod from the WFD Congress at Spain - part of Lydia Koh’s journey towards her PhD focused on haptic communication #wasli2023 WASLI @WASLI2023

Lydia Koh now telling us of her first time meeting a deafblind person, Fr Cyril Axelrod, at the #WFD 2007 in Spain #WASLI2023

Lydia continuing to tell us of a journey, navigating a new-found deafblind world, supporting the group to travel internationally, learning some ASL, Japanese Sign Language and IS together to prepare for DB conferences and camps #WASLI2023 #DeafBlind

Lydia using a metaphor to explain barriers in a Deafblind person’s life: If a baby elephant is tied to a peg all their life, they won’t know their strength and won’t try to break free even when the physical restriction may be minimal. #WASLI2023

Se-Woong Yoon is an inspirational role model, continuing to encourage Deafblind people to socialise and participate, reducing isolation and fostering communication and support through positive reinforcement. #WASLI2023

De Meulder & Haualand looks at impacts of interpreting provision in education & health, as well as other sectors. Huge change & impact on deaf community and ability to have access to education. #wasli2023

How we look at three levels of sign language interpreting as a social institution: macro, meso & micro #wasli2023

If SLI provision is done at meso level - De Meulder & Haualand #wasli2023

How we can view public representation & interpreting at public events on meso level - De Meulder & Haualand #wasli2023

How do we unpack sign language interpreting? #wasli2023
