La Sordera
La sordera es la dificultad o la imposibilidad de usar el sentido del oído debido a una pérdida de la capacidad auditiva parcial o total. Una persona sorda será incapaz de escuchar, por herencia o como causa de una enfermedad, traumatismo, exposición a largo plazo al ruido, o medicamentos que dañen el nervio auditivo.
Sordomudo: es una persona
que tiene un problema de audición y de cuerdas vocales. Una persona sorda por
lo general no es muda, ya que tiene la capacidad de tener voces.
Se
estima que cerca de 150,000 personas en Puerto Rico tienen problemas auditivos
severos y 340,000 padecen de pérdida de audición, información basada en el censo
del 2008.
Las implicaciones de la deficiencia
auditiva profunda son muchas y repercuten en aspectos tan importantes como lo
es el desarrollo cognitivo, el desarrollo socio-afectivo, la comunicación, la
personalidad, entre tantas otras.
En Dreams Hotel ofrecemos habitaciones
aptas para la comunidad sorda, porque queremos que disfruten su estadía como lo
hacen todos los huéspedes y queremos demostrarles que para nosotros son
importantes.

r an excursion can be difficult, or even impossible.
However, such simple actions like visiting a museum, choosing a hotel
Tourism for deaf:
Deaf is one of the most neglected sectors in the tourism sector.
Accessibility to them is very limited. They can move smoothly and are not sick in most cases, it is thought that they have more opportunities than others, which is not entirely true.

This disability is different.
Most deaf only understands sign language and many are literate. But very few people in our society knows sign language.
Because there are many fears. Based on this premise; Imagine not being able to be understood? Imagine being lost and not being able to ask? Vacationing being deaf is a challenge.
How do I take a taxi?

With them in mind "Dreams Hotel in Puerto Rico" has designed vacation packages that include stay and visit to several places. Will be include in a trip a person who can speak sign language and accompany them around Puerto Rico.

Vacaciones sin barreras. Ser sordo no le impide visitar Puerto Rico.
Vacaciones sin barreras
Todos cuando pensamos en vacaciones asociamos
esta palabra con viajar.
A pensado lo difícil que puede ser para una
persona invidente, con silla de ruedas o sorda el poder viajar?
Visitar lugares nuevos aporta conocimientos,
cultura y enriquecimiento personal.
Sin embargo, acciones tan simples como visitar
un museo, elegir un hotel o realizar una excursión puede ser complicado, o
hasta imposible.
Turismo para sordos y sordomudos
El sordo o sordomudo es uno de los sectores más
olvidados en el sector turístico.
La accesibilidad para ellos es muy limitada.
Aunque puedan desplazarse sin problemas y no están enfermos en la mayoría de
los casos, se piensa que ellos tienen mas oportunidades que los demás, lo que
no es totalmente cierto.
Su discapacidad es diferente y a simple vista
no se ve.
La mayoría de los sordos solo entiende el
lenguaje de señas y muchos saben leer y escribir. Pero muy pocas personas saben
el lenguaje de señas en nuestra sociedad.
Partiendo de este premisa, imagínese el no
poder ser entendido?
Imagínese estar perdido y no poder preguntar?
Pensar que se va a vacacionar siendo sordo es
un reto, porque existen muchos temores. Cómo tomaré un taxi? Cómo selecciono un
platillo en un restaurante? A donde puedo ir sin temor a perdernos?
Pensando en ellos Dreams Hotel en Puerto Rico ha diseñado unos paquetes vacacionales,
que incluyen estadía, y varios lugares a visitar, en donde incluimos en el
viaje a una persona que puede hablar en señas y acompañarlos en sus visitas.
Hemos adaptado habitaciones para sordos, para
que su estadía sea mas placentera.
