October 11, 2007 <br />Present: <br />Ingrid Reasoner, LILA, Deaf Case Manager <br />Eric Seratte, LILA, HOH/Deaf Coordination Assistant <br />Linda Diaz, LLA, HOH/Deaf Coordinator <br />Christian Watchie, T’NT Consultants Associate <br />What would make a building intuitively welcoming, specifically for those <br />who are deaf or with hearing impairments? <br /> Make it visually warm and welcoming. <br /> Like wood and the warmth of it. <br /> Have things to look at and touch. <br /> Have a more open and welcoming information desk. <br /> In addition to the person welcoming you, you need a directory and signage <br />to guide you. <br /> A greeting person who knows how to talk with the deaf and is not afraid. <br /> Have a Sorensen Phone (a communication system that links the deaf with <br />an immediate interpreter 24 hrs. a day) like the Federal Building. <br /> Have an accessible telephone prominently located, but also allow for <br />privacy, like a booth. <br /> Use a color system for directions. <br /> Words and colors are welcoming. <br /> Have BIG PRINT on the signs. This helps not only the deaf but the <br />elderly. <br /> Make directions obvious to all. <br /> Have adjustable lighting, but no fluorescents. <br /> Have art with pictures, history, that represent our past and with new things <br />that represent today. We need to show why we are special. Art needs to <br />be easy on the eyes, like black and white images. <br /> Have some color but not too busy. <br /> Have sign language art – a sort of “we are all in this world.” <br /> City services need a disability office or staff person who is versatile in all <br />forms of disabilities. <br /> Many people who are hard of hearing don’t like to stand out in the crowd. <br />What design elements, other than building layout, are helpful and which are <br />detrimental? <br /> Ramps are good but need to have some sort of resting spaces. <br /> <br />
