Off subject, I am very impressed with your business (website). I strongly believe that you will be successful.
Thanks for the link.
Perhaps, you could hire some NTID students for a co-op summer job to see whether they like your company as a permanent or a part-time job after they finished their degree.
Someday, I would apply a loan for my business from you when it is available for out of state.
Deaf / HOH services is what I would call it. I would shy away from ASL because not all deaf / HOH use ASL.
Political correction, you are right about that. We can do any loans, just offer full ASL communication accessible. I am trying to see what name is best for the community.
Should we add Hard of Hearing to the name of Deaf Service Division?
Yes, so everyone feels welcome.
At the risk of singling out a group, you'd might want to consider an inclusive and non-targeting name like "Valued Customer Services".
Have you considered that some Deaf and/or Hard-of-Hearing do not want be cattle proded into the service? Consider the "Spanish-speaking" representative. What would they do when a Brazilian applied for services?
Not everyone was to be treated "special" (unless there was an incentive). I'd like to think that everyone was to get what everyone is getting - equal treatment.
How about putting up a sign that says, "Welcome to Deaf People at First American Bank?"
If I were going to be a member of a deaf bank, I would not go there because the robberies would love to come into your special service. Just thought of it. Sorry. I'll bring up something better name for your bank.
I would include ASL as part of the title because you are saying that ASL is the 3rd most used language in the USA and oral deaf people use spoken English so why do they need a deaf centered service? They can go to the banks where hearing people go to.
I thought this was targeted for the signing community or am I wrong?
