I have added CaptionMatch.com to the blog, and moved BOTH links to the upper right of my page. Captions are so important in today's society, it really needs to be a top priority for all. I will be adding your blog link, as well, under "Blogs I like to visit". <br /><br />Have a lovely day, Lauren!<br /><br />Joyce - Xpressive HandzXpressive Handzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002398180587845394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199689129452310161.post-44520336112311180352013-04-21T10:07:27.462-04:002013-04-21T10:07:27.462-04:00Thanks for the mention of the CCAC here Joyce. And...Thanks for the mention of the CCAC here Joyce. And may we add this to your list of resources above? - http://CaptionMatch.com is a new way to "just ask" for the captioning or CART you may need anyplace, including for church or similar community events. <br /><br />CaptionMatch is not a captioning company, yet a handy service from the CCAC to offer consumers a way to find and select a provider to work with. It also offers providers a way to find extra work. And --- users of CaptionMatch provide concrete support for continuing CCAC captioning advocacy activities. <br /><br />Happy Sunday to all - the sun is shining in my town today, instead of much rain, and we thank all the goddesses who understand the CCAC mission for inclusion.CCACaptioninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002092984304841122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199689129452310161.post-90066147256816157812012-05-08T07:54:41.914-04:002012-05-08T07:54:41.914-04:00Deb, thank you for sharing your struggle, and for ...Deb, thank you for sharing your struggle, and for your kind compliment.Xpressive Handzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002398180587845394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199689129452310161.post-64624597716919782082012-05-08T07:52:27.968-04:002012-05-08T07:52:27.968-04:00pressive HandzMay 8, 2012 7:51 AM

Hopefully, that will someday be a reality.Xpressive Handzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002398180587845394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199689129452310161.post-56453972634654503892012-05-08T06:11:14.794-04:002012-05-08T06:11:14.794-04:00Thank you for writing this, it is my lifelong frus...Thank you for writing this, it is my lifelong frustration attending church and could not be able to partipate. I was born with hearing loss and it was a struggle to follow sermon until I stopped going.<br /><br />Your blog provides good pointers where churches and volunteers can provide captions such as CART and the links on how to obtain is very helpful.<br /><br />God Bless youSouthside7https://www.blogger.com/profile/06246622000465360793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199689129452310161.post-88266911381523913062012-05-08T03:35:29.673-04:002012-05-08T03:35:29.673-04:00I confess to being a total atheist but.... learnin...I confess to being a total atheist but.... learning a new language/means of communication (They aren't the same), is indeed an very big ask to older people, whoare up against the sterotype of "Old people always go hard of hearing' so assumed a dotty aunt or Uncle or something, but the misery can last the rest of their lives. It is why I demanded in the UK a system of rehabilitation and re-learning is offered alongside an hearing aid or diagnosis of loss. Currently the UK offer 2 things, a lip-reading class, which demands you still have residual/useful hearing, or, a sign language class which demands you belong to a different culture and lifestyle to obtain any use from it, to me neither seems to be working at all.mervynjames224https://www.blogger.com/profile/06689615164654187617noreply@blogger.com
