Türkiye’de Sağır ve İşitme Engelli Kadın Olmak | Neveda Öner | TEDxYouth@FMVErenköyIşıkWomen

In this interview, Neveda Öner talks about being a hard of hearing woman in society. Neveda Öner was born in 1982 in Istanbul as a healthy baby. Due to malpractice of a doctor when she was 4 years old, she became severely hearing impaired. She graduated from Beşiktaş High School in 1999. She considers this as a paramount success as she expresses that it was difficult to have any kind of education for hard of hearing and/or deaf people in Turkey. This was mainly because the Turkish Sign Language, TİD, was officially accepted as a language and allowed to be used in the schools for educational purposes only in 2005. She worked in various sectors. She was the store manager of Mudo City for several years and she spent long years in the finance sector as an Operational Specialist at Garanti Bank. She was into theatre, too. For a couple of years, she acted and served as a co-director in the plays cast by hard-of-hearing and deaf people. Since 2014, she has been working as a Turkish Sign Language teacher at various reputable schools and establishments such as The municipality of Istanbul, Sabancı Foundation, General Head of Hard-of-Hearing and Deaf people of Turkey and she has been trying to reach as many people as possible to dispel communication obstacles of hard-of-hearing and deaf people. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
