Tue, Aug 14 2018 · 7 minutes ago Broadband access insulting/inaccesible to the deaf.. At The Rim Broadband customer services have been described as "insulting" and "inaccessible" to deaf customers, with campaigners calling for a change in the way providers look at accessibility. The Equality Act 2010 insists that all organisations have a duty to make reasonable adjustments for users with additional needs, while Ofcom requires all landline, broadband and mobile co... Tue, Aug 14 2018 · 6 hours ago Deaf are more Intelligent? At The Rim Modesty forbids me to tell you my IQ... but surely the presence of more 'grey matter' does not indicate more intelligence, it depends how it is utilised. Sure, deaf adapt to the fact a sense isn't there, but it hasn't yet proven that adaptation has improved direct communication to hearing all that much if the support and translation set up is anything to go by. ... Tue, Aug 14 2018 · 6 hours ago Deaf Health support (Scotland). At The Rim How poor reporting distorts figures on access. 'many 1,000s of BSL users' (Actually 951, 159 who are children), the quoted stat is for ALL Scotland, not Fife. Fife NHS has yet to produce a breakdown of specific areas who used the translation service, or how often, or even if the family did it all. Hardly possible to determine how many terps there are because... Mon, Aug 13 2018 Deaf churches for Deaf people? At The Rim So, instead of addressing poor access to the main event, they want to create isolated deaf-only churches instead? Why is every 'cultural' response to poor access/inclusion just an excuse to segregate the deaf even more? Deaf suffering the Greta Garbo syndrome need to change their priorities. It would ONLY work in concentrated areas of the deaf population and... Mon, Aug 13 2018 Woman With Hearing Aids.... At The Rim Gets a job after being unemployed for 5 years. The job?

Sun, Aug 12 2018 Is a ban on the Burka wrong? At The Rim After recent comments about Muslim burka wearing women looking like 'letter boxes' or even bank robbers, from an UK Politician, would deaf agree, wearing these facial coverings, IS an actual abusing of deaf people's right to 'read' other people's faces/lips, thus, wearers are by default, are not complying with the UK or deaf and disabled access laws, and it isn't a ca... Fri, Aug 10 2018 Baby hears Mum for first time... At The Rim So ATR disputes 'White' influences on CI's (Deaf Racists?). Have anti-CI deaf now lost the plot entirely?

Tue, Aug 07 2018 UK Education Minister asked to clarify BSL claims At The Rim Following a wave of declarations online by Deaf BSL users and TV channels/newspapers stating the Minister has agreed to establish a GCSE class in education, ATR has sent a letter demanding clarity, in the light he has NOT agreed in Parliament to establish such a class, only to 'consider' it. The letter to Nick Gibbs, (Dept of Education):- "Can the minister cla... Mon, Aug 06 2018 CryptoDeaf responds to ATR...

Sun, Aug 05 2018 Making Courts accessible. At The Rim The UK has huge issues too despite supposedly being more accessible and enlightened. Family courts e.g. can ignore access altogether, it is up to the deaf attending to demand it first if they don't they can turn up unable to follow and the decision, either way, will stand regardless. Other issues transpire in that initially, courts banned the deaf from using inte... Sat, Aug 04 2018 Challenging the 'Deaf' Sterotype. At The Rim Not just sign fluent, but highly educated and literate too... so why paint them into a signing corner? Fri, Aug 03 2018 How researchers can better serve the Deaf community At The Rim The answer lies in deaf people being literate surely? It is unrealistic to expect to see all health information accessible in ASL, the resources aren't there. It would also help if 'ASL Researchers' stopped using the 'Deaf' label as a blanket term, to the wider public as this suggests deaf who DO NOT SIGN need ASL too, (Already a major issue in the UK where t... Fri, Aug 03 2018 BSL educational claims were #Fake news At The Rim Recent online claims that the UK government was considering BSL curriculum has proven to be false despite deaf online claims and campaigns, and charities publishing false statistics of actual deaf children in education, whilst failing to identify those using/needing sign language.

At The Rim For millions who can’t hear, lip reading offers a window into conversations that would be lost without it. But the practice is hard—and the results are often inaccurae (as you can see in these Bad Lip Reading videos). Now, researchers are reporting a new artificial intelligence (AI) program that outperformed professional lip readers and the best AI to date, with j...

Nicholas Roache was attacked on the way home from a pub. The deaf man was knifed in the chest by a boy - possibly as young as 14 - after being mocked because of his... Wed, Aug 01 2018 New moderators for Deaf.Read? At The Rim It's pretty clear the present group of mods have abandoned moderation or site updating the last 2 years, allowing open spamming to take place. Maybe the USA needs to advertise more widely for people prepared to protect vulnerable deaf bloggers who are under daily pressures to wade though blatant spamming as it is. It looks like the free speech policy ... Tue, Jul 31 2018 Deaf being forced from their homes in Scotland? At The Rim Deaf people in Dumfries and Galloway ‘quitting the area’ over interpreter fears The area’s main interpreter retired in December, leaving the council relying on freelance cover which ends soon.

Tue, Jul 31 2018 Deaf Lobby uses cute kid factor BSL campaign At The Rim The issue is that BSL no matter how fluent you are in it alone will still mean deaf are reliant on others, on interpreters and on rights campaigns to get even those. You have to aks WHERE, can a deaf adult advance once fluent in BSL? Jobs? More inclusive social interactions? Higher academic attainments? There seems no trade-off between being fluent in BSL, and its ef... Mon, Jul 30 2018 Taxi driver refused to pick up Deaf/assistance dog. At The Rim A cab driver has paid the price for driving off rather than picking up his pre-booked fare - a deaf person and her guide dog. Muhammad Irfan, of Chetwode Avenue, Monkston, pleaded guilty by post to failing to collect a deaf person with an Assistance Dog under Section 170 of the Equality Act 2010.

At The Rim These type of simplistic and naive vids do nothing to raise awareness at all, and ATR refuses to believe people will run away from you if you are deaf. The format suggests a child does it. A simply put explanation of the best way communication can be facilitated is the most effective, I've never had anyone run away when I explain I am deaf! If you have no voice u... Mon, Jul 30 2018 Sign Language group highlights Deaf UK abuses. At The Rim The National Union of British Sign Language Interpreters (NUBSLI) has released a report [pdf] into the state of play for British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters and deaf people in the UK. It follows reforms to the profession which have seen strikes, a company liquidated and deaf people struggling to get their communication needs met. SOURCE Sun, Jul 29 2018 CI's and ME.... At The Rim On the deafness scale of mild, moderate, severe or profound, I am profoundly deaf. With the help of cochlear implants, I am able to “hear” and speak. The devices are complicated to explain, but basically, external sound processors, worn behind the ears, send a digital signal to the implants, which convert the signal to electric impulses that stimulate the hearing ... Sun, Jul 29 2018 How deaf awareness doesn't work. At The Rim By telling us, not them, and taking the piss out of hearing like 5yr olds, doesn't help either, but alienates. Sun, Jul 29 2018 Creating Jobs for the Deaf At The Rim The other side of the coin as ATR knows is that Hearing/HoH people who are trained in skills, and who then acquire deafness later, have to sweep floors and stack shelves, or clean tables in coffee bars. It isn't just a view deaf can't work properly but a view if you lose your hearing you cannot do the work you are already-trained for either. Offering deaf work ... Sat, Jul 28 2018 Deaf Solidarity. At The Rim Why deaf people should avoid at all costs focus group meetings, even international ones despite the option to travel. The sign wasn't there, the access was appaling and the translation gibberish. Free English lessons to the first person who can tell us what it was all about... it may have had a point for all we know. Fri, Jul 27 2018 Can Deaf Read get rid of the Deaf Chef? At The Rim We don't need more repeats of the wholesale spamming of this deaf site by adverts chandeliers, please remove. We worry Deaf.Read has abandoned all moderation and remnants of 2002 are still there not updated, the whole aggregate needs a cleanup and pro-active moderation. Thank You. (ATR). Fri, Jul 27 2018 EU deaf citiizens? At The Rim Is Islington really aware, we have voted to LEAVE the European Union? We all thought Islington was run by migrants, not the British, and full of focus groups defying British law. Or, that a no-deal option is possible? New laws may well NOT give current EU members in London the right to stay, it depends if the deal with the EU is a reciprocal one, i.e. if they...
