Deafness: Emerging Strategies for a Cure (Stefan Heller, Stanford University)

Enviado em 22/01/2009

Stefan Heller is trying to create inexpensive ear drops that can cure deafness. In this short talk, Heller describes how his team of researchers at Stanford University is transplanting stem cells into the ear to "regenerate" damaged hearing cells.

App da IBM e da AACD permite mapear acessibilidade nas ruas

A Associação de Assistência à Criança Deficiente (AACD) e a IBM firmaram parceria para realizar um levantamento da acessibilidade das ruas brasileiras. Os registros serão feitos a partir do aplicativo colaborativo Rota Acessível, que permite a participação da população no mapeamento das ruas.
Disponível inicialmente na App Store e em 25 de novembro para Android, o aplicativo gratuito possui diversos itens de cadastro, como localização de vagas especiais, condições das calçadas e presença de guias rebaixadas.
A solução desenvolvida pelo Laboratório de Pesquisas da IBM Brasil possui georeferenciamento, que permite a localização automática do usuário no momento em que ele usa o aplicativo.
O cidadão seleciona a área na qual ele pretende cadastrar seu relato: localização, disponibilidade e conservação de vagas especiais, além de condições das calçadas, faixas de pedestres, guia rebaixada, iluminação pública, semáforo de pedestres e presença de sinalizações tátil e visual.
Após escolher o tópico, é preciso adicionar uma foto para possibilitar a visualização da informação, comprovando os dados incluídos no aplicativo.
Todos os usuários terão acesso aos dados inseridos no Rota Acessível, podendo acompanhar a evolução e os gráficos gerados pela ferramenta.
No último mês foi realizado um mapeamento inicial que contou com a ajuda da equipe de três instituições presentes no projeto. Foram feitos quase mil registros no quadrilátero que envolve as ruas Domingos de Moraes, Vergueiro e avenidas Ibirapuera e 11 de Junho, em São Paulo.
A iniciativa já está disponível para todas as cidades do Brasil. É possível acompanhar os resultados do estudo através do portal.

Gallaudet University: VL2 Storybook App Launch Celebration Highlights

Publicado em 05/02/2013

On Monday, February 4th, Gallaudet University's own Visual Language and Visual Learning (VL2) center launched an exciting app (available on iOS-iPad and iPad Mini) for early and emerging readers.

App Summary:
*Interactive and bilingual ASL/English storybook app designed for visual learners, especially deaf children
*Original story, first developed through ASL storytelling and then told through English print
*Available on the App Store
*Design principles are based on research foundations, namely the science of learning on visual language and learning

Story:
The Baobab is an original story about a curious little girl who goes on a search for a rare, delicious fruit growing from an ancient baobab tree. She encounters many different animals and finds herself in a peculiar situation! Children will enjoy the daring little girl's mishaps and adventures, the rich ASL storytelling, and the captivating watercolor illustrations.

Key Research Principles:
The benefits of bilingualism--for both hearing and deaf language learners--have become more and more apparent in recent years. We know from research that a child's early exposure to bilingualism provides fundamental advantages in cognition, language, and literacy. This finding is true for bilinguals whose languages are both spoken and for bilinguals who sign one language and read and write in another. In fact, this early bilingual advantage does not go away; research confirms that the cognitive and language benefits that come from being bilingual continue throughout the lifetime.

The new series of VL2 ASL-English storybook apps for the iPad builds upon findings from research done on deaf bilingual children. For one, we know that proficiency in a visual language, American Sign Language, has been positively correlated with English literacy and spoken language development. Opportunities that provide engagement with visual language and printed literacy place deaf children on a path towards fluent bilingualism.

By being exposed to examples of extended use of sign language (such as stories), deaf children are provided opportunities to develop cognitive flexibility and metalinguistic abilities, and these, in turn, help to facilitate the development of English literacy skills. Research from VL2 and other centers shows that early visual language experience offers far-reaching advantages for a deaf child's linguistic, communicative, cognitive, academic, literacy, and psychosocial development.

Children, parents, and educators who use this app can watch the story in ASL, read along with the English text at the bottom of the screen, and watch videos--with sound--of the translation of selected words in the text. A rich body of work in early literacy indicates that fingerspelling helps vocabulary acquisition and helps form a phonological level of language access for deaf children. The apps make use of the advantages of fingerspelling, even incorporating commonly used linking techniques such as "sandwiching," where a word is signed, then fingerspelled, and then signed once again. Because of what we know about the importance of fluent language models in the teaching of the grammar of a visual language, the storyteller in The Baobab is a fluent signer.

David L Jaffe of Stanford University at Aging2.0 | Palo Alto, CA - 11 Oct 2012

Publicado em 06/11/2012

David L. Jaffe teaches Perspectives in Assistive Living at Stanford University. He holds a BS degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan and a MS degree in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University.
Prior to coming to Stanford, he was a Research Biomedical Engineer at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System's Rehabilitation Research and Development Center. At the VA his interests were designing, developing, testing, and bringing to market microcomputer-based devices for veterans with disabilities including communication, mobility, and information systems. He has worked on several VA assistive technology research projects including an innovative wheelchair interface for individuals with quadriplegia, an electro-mechanical fingerspelling hand that serves as a communication device for people who are deaf/blind, a system that explores virtual reality techniques to train individuals with gait deficits to improve their walking, and a project that employs a computer-based simulation system to assess and improve the driving ability of individuals after brain injury.
