Looking for someone to assist Assistant Professor at College of Rehabilitation Science
Looking for deaf/HOH individual to help me in a practical lab with physiotherapy students at the University of Manitoba, Bannatyne (downtown) Campus. Accessibility Services at the U of M suggested I reach out to you as they are unable to help me this year.
The task for the physiotherapy students is to teach a deaf/HOH individual balance exercises in standing through an ASL interpreter (we have someone for that role). The deaf/HOH person’s job is to portray someone (preferably someone in their 20s or 30s) who has recently been diagnosed with MS and has some balance issues. They essentially have a short medical history to memorize and then do the exercises as instructed. Ten groups of 5 physiotherapy students each will rotate through the room every 15 mins.
We are able to pay $15/hr for this two-hour activity scheduled for Thursday, February 22 from 1-3 pm (next Thursday!).
If you are interested, please email me at Moni.Fricke@umanitoba.ca

Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre will offer ASL Interpreted performance- Di and Viv and Rose for March 13th!
Each year, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre offers an American Sign Language interpreted performance as part of our regular season. For 2018/19, we are holding an ASL-interpreted performance on Tuesday, March 13th, 7:30PM for Di and Viv and Rose. The performance will be held at the Tom Hendry Warehouse, where good sightlines ensure that patrons don't miss any of the action. Here is a description of the show:
When Di and Viv and Rose meet in university, little do they know they’ll form a lifelong bond. But friendships, like any other relationships, can be complicated. Delve into this heartwarming comedy that celebrates life, love and everything in between accompanied by lots of laughs.
Advisory (Grade 10+): Coarse language, mature themes & references to sexual violence
Please pass this message on to anyone you think might be interested. I’ve attached a small ad that can be printed, shared, or distributed by email. We’d like to ask you to post it at your organization and share online to help spread awareness to the deaf community. To find out more information about our ASL-interpreted performances, visit royalmtc.ca/ASL
Please encourage people to book early as a limited number of seats are available for this performance. Those interested should identify themselves as members of the Deaf community when they book their tickets to reserve seating in the section where they can see the interpreters.
To book tickets, please contact our Box Office at boxoffice@royalmtc.ca or (204) 942-6537.
