With all the fresh buzzing going on in the deaf blogs over negative experiences between deaf motorists and law enforcement, lets take this opportunity to re-introduce our Free Deaf Motorist Kits that we've been offering since 2003.
This Free Deaf Motorist Kit is developed by people who are actively involved in the education and enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This product is developed by people that knows what officers expect, lawyers expect, and judges expect of deaf motorists.
What gives this Free Deaf Motorist Kit it's teeth are items that are required to be placed in it. Items such as your driver identification information, vehicle registration, doctor or audiologist note, driver liability insurance info, and local interpreter information. Just everything that an officer needs to realize your need for communication assistance. Just everything a lawyer needs to build a strong ADA case for you if the officer fails to accommodate your communication needs. Just everything a judge needs to lean in your favor when your lawyer brings it to court. And the federal codes used in this kit are applicable to all states and US territories that are already covered by the ADA.
And assembling the Free Deaf Motorist Kit yourself is easy with a checklist of items needed to complete it. Fill in the blanks. Store it in your glove compartment or any other reachable location in the vehicle. When an officer pulls you over just hand him/her the kit along with your driver's identification card. He or she 'will' be happy you did.
Unlike the "Deaf Caution" scam, one of the best parts of this kit is it's FREE! No memberships needed, no obligation to part your hard earned money to us or anyone else to preserve your rights. No annual fees either! We simply give you the Deaf Motorist Kit FREE and that's it! That's what Orange County Deaf Advocacy Center is about, improving the safety of our deaf motorists.
The actual outcome between you and the officer depends on factors such as the reason for pulling you over, your attitude to the officer, sobriety issues, warrants, etc. This kit is not intended to help you get away with breaking the law. This kit will not prevent you from getting a ticket or arrested. The purpose of this kit is to adequately inform the officer of your hearing and/or speech disability, your communication needs, and to help him or her locate communication assistance services in your area.

Have a safe and happy drive!

Rip-Off Report On OCDAC Is False & Libelous
Submitter of the false and libelous report on Rip-Off Report and the subsequent responses to our rebuttals was done by our CEO's acrimonious ex-wife. That's her retaliatory response from getting evicted from his home at the beginning and subsequently losing the divorce suit against him at the end.

As The Deaf World Evolves
Here is a fact.
Gallaudet Research Institute's 2006-2007 Annual Survey of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children and Youth revealed that 87 percent of students who are deaf use speech in the classroom to some degree, and 52 percent use only speech. That is only children -- the percentage of adults is a lot higher.

A Failure In ASL Education
I was recently asked to assist a deaf webmaster to develop a letter he/she can use to send to people asking for financial support. The letter below is the example he sent to me. I can see why this person wasn't able to get any sponsorships. The letter below represents the result of the failed sign language based education system we have been feeding, as in funding, for too long. This is the result of the taxpayers $800,000.00 that was spent to teach this person sign language. The person can't succeed because he/she wasn't taught the right language. That's a $800,000.00 waste of taxpayers money you're seeing here. Getting this deaf person to hear and speak would have cost far less than $100,000.00 and would have made a better writer than what you see in the letter below.
I've been seeing a lot of examples like this and feel it's high time we start teaching deaf children the right language. It's high time we stop funding the failed sign language based education programs for the deaf and start funding programs that teach deaf children the right language. Lets do that so we dont have to see more letters like below.
