                    The Toolbox  
              Things Young Deaf
             People Should Know 

The AttitudeTV Group are very excited to launch “The Toolbox”; a
suite of short films revealing life’s essential information - and its all
in New Zealand Sign Language!

These are web-based video resources aimed at young Deaf people
aged 16-24. The videos are designed to empower young people by
increasing their knowledge and ultimately leading to greater
participation and inclusion.

                            95 Decibels

95 Decibels is a powerful film about a young family who suspect their first
child isn't hearing.  Having limited experience with deafness, the parents
of Sophia must determine which medical options and communication strategies
will best serve their toddler daughter. They seek the advice of medical
professionals as well as parents of other hearing-impaired children in
coming to terms with the decisions ... making these decisions becomes
difficult and dramatic.
