New thread
Next up is Dr. Snoddon, @NL_Assoc_Deaf @1940CADASC @NLhumanrights @GovNL @NLESDCA

Resuming eventually? Newfoundland. I may had explained earlier. Dr. Snoddon is a Deaf specialist in languages and early years. Her testimony is critical today.

Good morning everyone and welcome to Day Four of what should be the hottest #deaf #deafed topic in Canada. Even the Americans are watching this tribunal. On the docket today are two Deaf specialists. First off is Tammy Vaters. I apologize for misspelling as it tends to correct to Vaders. That is the Educational Assistant or Student Assistant. She was trained and experienced in Ontario and knows how to do her job. Yes I confirmed this beforehand.

So my thoughts on this session, on today's hearing. well, settle in for the ride cause it's a wild one. summery will be long but still short enough to read during supper.

1/10 First off, we started with Sheila Macdonald. Former teacher of the deaf, used to teach at the deaf school. Absolutely demolished and ridiculed the Inclusion model used by the English district. She proved that it was destructive, harmful and an utter disaster for Deaf children. 2/

Good morning #deaf it's day three of the @NLESDCA vs @kimagreening human rights trial over Carter's education. Hope @NL_Assoc_Deaf and @1940CADASC are paying attention!

On the docket today is quite a list. 5 people including former deputy minister of education @GovNL @NLhumanrights informed me there will be live captioning today. It's my understanding that it's an individual typing out the transcript.

Bear in mind it's a deaf person tweeting live. Info may be missed or misunderstood. I'll do my best.

Good luck

@NLESDCA @GovNL @NLhumanrights @kimagreening good morning as we prepare for day 2 of the Carter Churchill vs NL English school district. And we're starting. Still having issues with closed captioning so committee asked people to be more clear.

First up is a witness expecting to be questioned by the churchills for an hour. I missed the name so apologies. Will post it when I get it.

This is the start of a series of tweets I plan to do on a human right crisis in NFLD: special needs education. To be honest it's coast to coast but #nfld is in pretty bad shape for #deafeducation and #HumanRights But first... monks blend tea. Hot.
