On Tech, TikTok Videos, Cochlear Implants, and the Deaf Child’s Right to Language | #InTaiwanWeSpeak
Description
Are cochlear implants a solution or just one part of the picture? In the final part of our series, we dive into how technology — from video calls to implants — can help or hinder Deaf children’s access to language.
We question viral implant activation videos, unpack the dangers of language deprivation, and look at how Taiwan’s health insurance policies may be shaping the Deaf community in troubling ways.
Our guests: Dr. Jean F. Andrews, professor emerita of Deaf studies and Deaf education at Lamar University (U.S.), and Dr. Fanghuai Ku, founder of the Signing Village Workshop
