It is the only community based org~nization that provides services to the disabled and elderly, while also making available interpreter services, employment preparation, advocacy, independent living skills training, and information and referral for the deaf. Deaf Services also provides Deaf Awareness and Sign Language classes. There are an estimated 15,000 profoundly deaf individuals in the county of San Bernardino. Most of these individuals rely on some form of communication assistance, whether it is using a telecommunication device for the deaf (TOO), interpreters, or closed caption devices for the television. Utilizing an interpreter allows deaf people to function independently while conducting business with the public. Consider in the absence of a professional, most deaf individuals use thei,- hearing child as their interpreter. This results in a loss of confidentiality for the deaf parent, as well as placing the child in a position of responsibility he or she is not mature or experienced enough to deal with adequately. Take, for example, the parent teacher conference in which the child's progress is discussed, or a doctor telling the child's mother she has cancer. People who communicate using American Sign Language (ASL) frequently have great difficulty understanding written English. ASL is a language which differs greatly from English, therefore written communication necessary for day- to-day business becomes next to impossible to deal with. Roll ing Start provides a resource in whi ch to have business forms and other written communication interpreted. Deaf people use telecommunication devices or TDD's with which to use the phone. The California Relay Service assists in calls to hearing people who do not have TOO's. Rolling Start provides services which the California Relay Service currently cannot. These include placing out-of-state calls, and calls interpreted in sign language (in office) for those who do not feel able to communicate well enough in written English to adequately use the TOO themselves. A majority of profoundly deaf individuals experience little success in education and in the job market due to communication problems. For this reason, 90% of this population fall in the low income level. Rolling Start Deaf Services provides services for this population. EXHIBIT nAn croJ IroroBAL APPLICM'IOO .'
