“Breaking Barriers: Mr. Zamir Dhale’s Innovative Communication at Purple Talks”
Mr. Zamir Dhale’s presentation at the Purple Talks event, organized by the Department for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, showcased an innovative approach to communication with the deaf-blind community. Despite the initial challenge of an unavailable tactile sign language interpreter, his session unfolded smoothly thanks to creative problem-solving.
Utilizing technology, Mr. Dhale engaged with the audience through a unique mode of communication. His speech was initially delivered verbally by an interpreter, and he then responded to questions via a Refreshable Braille Display Device connected to WhatsApp. This allowed him to read the questions and respond through sign language, while his video was displayed on a screen and an interpreter voiced out his answers. This novel approach not only facilitated communication but also provided valuable insights into the challenges faced by the deaf-blind community and the changes needed for their empowerment.
The session proved to be enlightening for the audience, offering a fresh perspective and highlighting the importance of adapting communication methods to accommodate diverse needs. Mr. Zamir Dhale’s efforts were appreciated, demonstrating the power of innovation in fostering inclusivity and empowerment. Link below:
