LONDON -- The #fakeinterpreter incident during Nelson Mandela's memorial teaches us an important thing - if you can't sign, don't pretend you can.
However, there is a large number of incompetent communication support workers "interpreting" for Deaf children in mainstreaming schools of the United Kingdom.
Deaf children are born with the same basic capacities for learning and language as all children; they can and should reach their full potential with appropriate, visual, quality educational programmes and support - it is their human rights!
