The 17-year-old making films fun for deaf children
For eight-year-old Toby,who is deaf,watching films or TV can sometimes be a bit pointless,because so
many of them don't have sign language versions."We have subtitles (but it goes too fast,"his dad
Jarod Mills said.But now,Toby has some help thanks to an app1(develop)by a 17-year-old
student,Mariella Satow,who created a signing app called SignUp.
She got the idea when she 2 (teach)herself American Sign Language (ASL)-one of hundreds
of sign languages used across the world.Manella wanted to watch TV shows to help her leamn,and she
was disappointed3(discover)how few had signed versions.It's taken a year for Mariella to
develop the technology,with lots of help from ASL teachers and the deaf community.
The app is available in the US as a browser extension-with an interpreter appearing in a box4
the film starts playing.It only works on Disney Plus films at the moment,because that's5
Mariella thought she could help the most children.Jarod,6works at a school for deaf children,
says it was"exciting"watching Toby use Mariella's invention.He says,"Kids are getting information
like any hearing child does."
Deaf people in the UK facc many of the same barriers when it comes to cinema and TV."A hearing
person7 go to the cinema any time whereas deaf people have to make sure there's a suitable
viewing a time we're frec,"says 27-year-old Stacey Worboys from Cardiff.She has learned British Sign
Language(BSL),and is comfortable using subtitles when watching TV shows and films.But she feels
having an interpreter would make things8(inclusive),especially for someone who might
struggle with subtitles.
Stacey and Toby aren't the only people to be welcoming Mariella's app.It's now got thousands of users,
and she's working long days to balance it with her A-level studies.The time difference from New York
to her school in Rugby,Warwickshire,means she sets her alarm for 5am.
