Centre for Deaf Studies Research and Resources The CDS is not just a teaching centre, it has also been involved in research. For example we did research for the NCSE, National Council for Special Education, relating to Deaf education in Ireland. We also worked with the Paul Partnership to look at the interpreting services available to members of the Deaf community in the mid-west region. More importantly, the Government funding is provided to the Higher Education Authority for research. We received grants from SIF, Strategic Innovation Fund, to develop digital material for teaching ISL and Deaf Studies. We also received the Leonardo Da Vinci Fund which is EU funded. This supported our research in areas such as e-learning and online teaching for sign language, and CD signing projects with Bristol University. In addition to this, it helped establish the Signall II and III projects with Interesource Group Limited, the Irish Deaf Society, the Finish Association for the Deaf and other universities such Sussex University in the UK with our partners in Czech Republic and Poland. The CDS has carried out its own research that includes the Signs of Ireland Corpus, which is a collection of visual data of various Deaf signers from around Ireland. This is a valuable resource for students because it gives them the opportunity to observe the many sign variations that exists between male and female signers of different ages.

Stiúrthóir: An tOllamh Lorraine Leeson Comhordaitheoir an Bhaitsiléara i Léann na mBodhar: Patrick Matthews Lárionad Léann na mBodhar (CDS) Dia dhuit, is mise John Bosco Conama agus seo é m’ainm comharthaíochta. Is mise stiúrthóir Lárionad Léann na mBodhar (CDS). Tá an CDS lonnaithe anseo i gColáiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath. Tá Coláiste na Tríonóide ar cheann de na 50 ollscoil is fearr ar domhan agus is é an t-aon choláiste in Éirinn a thairgeann céim bhaitsiléara i Léann na mBodhar. Tá an cúrsa creidiúnaithe ag Coláiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath agus tá sé ceangailte leis an gCreat Náisiúnta Cáilíochtaí, a chlúdaíonn cáilíochtaí leibhéal a haon go dtí leibhéal a deich. Maireann an cúrsa Léann na mBodhar 4 bliana agus is cáilíocht ag leibhéal 8 é. Is ionann sin agus céim onóracha. Féadfaidh mic léinn a bhfuil céim onóracha acu dul ar aghaidh chuig clár máistreachta, clár ag leibhéal 9 nó PhD, nó clár ag leibhéal 10. Bíonn rogha ag mic léinn staidéar a dhéanamh i réimsí éagsúla mar oideachas, teangeolaíocht, síceolaíocht agus léann cultúir. Tá gach ceann díobh ceangailte leis an réimse Léann na mBodhar. Is mar seo a leanas aidhmeanna an CDS: - Cur leis an líon cáilithe ateangairí Teanga Comharthaíochta na hÉireann(ISL)/Béarla. Bhí líon an-íseal ateangairí cáilithe in Éirinn sular bunaíodh Lárionad Léann na mBodhar. Cuireann an cúrsa seo oiliúint ghairmiúil ar fáil d’ateangairí, rud a chinntíonn go mbeidh na bodhair rannpháirteach go gníomhach sa tsochaí. - An caighdeáin is airde a leagan amach ó thaobh múineadh ISL. - Oiliúint a chur ar fáil i réimse Léann na mBodhar. Ní ionad múinteoireachta amháin é an Lárionad CDS, bíonn sé i mbun taighde freisin. Tá taighde déanta againn don NCSE, an Chomhairle Náisiúnta um Oideachas Speisialta, maidir le hoideachas na mBodhar in Éirinn. Tá obair déanta againn freisin leis an Paul Partnership chun na seirbhísí ateangaireachta atá ar fáil do na Bodhair i réigiún an iarthair láir a scrúdú. Níos tábhachtaí fós, cuirtear maoiniú ón Rialtas ar fáil don Údarás um Ard-Oideachas le haghaidh taighde.
