National flu website highlights local videos using American Sign Language
Two videos from the Deaf Wellness Center at the University of Rochester Medical Center are on the Seasonal Flu page of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website today.
“Flu Guidance for Parents” and “Flu Guidance for Adults” are in American Sign Language with captions and voiceovers. They were produced under the direction of Robert Pollard, director of the Deaf Wellness Center, and feature members of the local deaf community.
They are scheduled to be on the page for about a week and then highlighted on other CDC pages for about a month.
