  • 6. 

    If a TAP passenger is severely hard-of-hearing or deaf the best way to communicate with him/her would be by:

    • Yelling

    • Writing a note to the person

    • Not doing anything

    • Waving my hands around

    Correct Answer
    A. Writing a note to the person
    Explanation
    The best way to communicate with a severely hard-of-hearing or deaf TAP passenger would be by writing a note to the person. This method allows for effective communication as the passenger can read the message and understand the information being conveyed. Yelling may not be effective as it can be difficult for the passenger to lip read or understand spoken words. Not doing anything or waving hands around would not provide any meaningful communication. Therefore, writing a note is the most appropriate and considerate way to communicate with a deaf or severely hard-of-hearing passenger.

    Explanation
    When a passenger with a hearing impairment is using an interpreter, it is important to speak directly to the passenger rather than through the interpreter.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Speaking more slowly is not necessarily helpful for someone with a hearing impairment. In fact, speaking slowly can sometimes make it more difficult for them to understand because it can distort the natural rhythm and clarity of speech. Instead, it is recommended to speak clearly, using normal speed, and to face the person directly so they can see your facial expressions and lip movements. Additionally, using visual aids or written communication can also be beneficial in facilitating better understanding.

The "Trust Walk" is a different concept that involves blindfolded individuals being guided by a partner to navigate a course or environment.

    Explanation
    Installing wheels on a wheelchair for a passenger with a disability should not be done solely based on their request for assistance and their ability to instruct.

    Explanation
    It is important to honor the request of a passenger with a disability to sit in the front seat if you feel reasonably safe because it is a way to accommodate their needs and ensure their comfort. This can also help them have easier access to exit the vehicle if needed. Respecting their request can contribute to a more inclusive and accessible environment for individuals with disabilities.

    When escorting a passenger who is blind, politely take him/her by the arm and lead the person to the taxi.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    When escorting a passenger who is blind, it is not appropriate to simply take them by the arm and lead them to the taxi. This can be seen as intrusive and disrespectful. Instead, it is recommended to ask the person if they would like assistance and, if they agree, offer your arm for them to hold onto. This allows the individual to maintain their independence and control while still receiving the support they need.

Stereotyping involves generalizing and oversimplifying the characteristics or behaviors of a group of people, which can lead to unfair assumptions and discrimination. Therefore, the correct answer is "True" as it acknowledges the existence of stereotyping in relation to people who use wheelchairs.
