Goodbye At The Rim It is with a heavy heart ATR has decided to no longer participate in Deaf.Read. This will be the last post we enter. ATR remains grateful, that in spite of considerable opposition from certain areas of the deaf in the UK, the USA still allowed ATR to survive and indeed thrive via ensuring input, debate and indeed, inclusion, was a reality, and a rig... Fri, Aug 06 2021 Diary of a Deafie at Leisure At The Rim [The first bit]. Foreword. Call me Ishmael (that's been done hasn't it ?)... I'm 3rd generation as a profoundly deaf person, having a mother and grandmother suffer this disability, and other family members also have some hearing problems, or maybe they just stopped listening? Who knows? This book you will be reading blows the lid off and exposes many myths... Fri, Jul 30 2021 Did Deaf win? At The Rim In-vision would have sorted it out day one, or if they informed deaf a fully accessible run down was available daily on the News channel anyway. ATR tried, with no less than 4 profile blogs being put up, identifying 29 online BSL access areas dedicated to Covid, but the deaf were not interested unless it was live as well. Boris DID actually go live on-screen ... Fri, Jul 30 2021 Job Passports At The Rim Not to be confused with welfare funding 'Access to Work' access, or 'Covid' passports. It is a trade Union [TUC] suggestion, how it can legally empower isn't really explained. SECTION 1 What is a reasonable adjustments passport? This is a live record of adjustments agreed between a worker and their manager to support them at work because of a health condition... Wed, Jul 28 2021 There are no deaf, just people. At The Rim BIG DEAF from Chella Man on Vimeo. We are all in danger of becoming what we oppose most, the deaf/silent and only signing stereotype, and one size fits all format claims. Given culture equals kudos, cash, jobs for boys/gals, and boosts the ego, it matters not inclusion hasn't happened and is unlikely to happen, martyrdom is the new black for the deaf. Blaming... Sun, Jul 25 2021 Deaf Paedo let off because he was deaf? At The Rim The emphasis on the deaf paedo being isolated and then NOT taken to task for his abuse. Since when was being deaf an 'excuse' for paedophilia? He's not a victim, the person he hoped to abuse was. The court is not punishing the principal or the threat this deaf man posed to children. The intent to abuse was clearly identified. Brit justice, NOT workin... Fri, Jul 23 2021 Encouraging censorship. At The Rim Unfortunately (Unless we missed it), the video 'censored' access out for non-signing deaf via lack of captioned/subtitled access. So making sense of this sort of output or comments is difficult. Deaf still don't understand what inclusion or access actually is and restrict a lot to their own output, presumable because they still adhere to the 'Deaf cannot read En... Thu, Jul 22 2021 BSL Bill, unsupported in Wales. At The Rim ATR's continued lobby against a BSL Bill in Wales (Every member has been sent concerns recently at aspects of the BSL Bill proposal that they were not aware of, and 53% have accepted wider consultations are essential before any Bill can be even presented, there will be no rubber stamp in Wales for a BSL Bill). There is no Welsh BSL Bill proposal, it is a cut a... Wed, Jul 21 2021 QR'd...... At The Rim What are QR Codes? ( A question on a HoH site). Here's an example. Obviously, you can create different QR codes for different situations, e.g. one for the Dr/NHS etc others for meetings, you can include all forms of communication that works (Or not), for you. Given Boris is going to issue everyone with some form of validation regarding Covid jabs etc, and QR... Tue, Jul 20 2021 The risk-takers... At The Rim That is the deaf apparently, read this post and form your own view, should this deaf club be closed again? And should deaf be 'keeping their hands to themselves?' Only 1 person out of 6 used hand gel to protect themself. And this was in a region of the UK that HASN'T yet opened everything up. # I had my heart in my mouth at our newly opened deaf club last wee... Mon, Jul 19 2021 Remove choice as a right in Health? At The Rim Using professional BSL help must be a legal requirement. Deaf should NOT be allowed to use family, or any other unqualified 'support' except as 'personal' support to attend, never to interpret, which should always be undertaken by some who is pro (and essentially, neutral). The Deaf have to stop being lazy, HoH too. The fact the BDA and others (incl... Mon, Jul 19 2021 When deaf DON'T need support. At The Rim Having read recently of deaf queuing up to sue systems for access most don't use, or a pop concert no adult would be seen attending, and deaf not even checking first to see access was there so they can make some perverse point of that, today we read of a deaf person now suing the NHS for failing to provide a BSL interpreter when they gave blood. Consider t... Sun, Jul 18 2021 Hits and Misses. At The Rim The emergence of greater representation of hearing loss, deafness, and technology in recent years—from the award-winning film Sound of Metal to a contestant on The Bachelor and an Americal Girl doll with hearing aids—has expanded the public's awareness of the lived experience of people with hearing loss, but whether that exposure has been beneficial is still up fo... Fri, Jul 16 2021 RAD: Lack of access for the Deaf? At The Rim An FOI request can also reflect a lack of DEMAND not just a lack of access provision. Simply because an FOI (Freedom of Information request), is asked for, may just state the obvious: (1) Less than 24% EVER use BSL for access on any regular basis, because they either prefer family support or are able to facilitate access individually. (2) BSL areas, Media/Cha... Thu, Jul 15 2021 The WOKIE-COKEY At The Rim Another carefree and uncensored look at the online comment areas of sites most will probably not belong to! NOTE: If you woke, or are deaf you probably should not read what others think of you! Most of the comments were copied prior to site removals. Calm now prevails (Of a sort). 'Ere we go......... # Stop capitalising woke! # I just had an extra thoug... Wed, Jul 14 2021 Non Binary revelations. At The Rim Recently a UK woman decides she was 'Non-Binary plus..' (Whatever happened to digital I wonder)? and has emerged from a very strange closet even Aslan of Narnia couldn't have envisaged to be hiding in. She has 'come out' (Who locked her in?), as Korean, is seeking a new identity and culture, and to date has had 18 operations (One must have removed her brain I think)... Mon, Jul 12 2021 Who needs English Literacy? At The Rim 'Many', succeed without English? erm, I don't think so. These 'adverts' for signing deaf and culture mask the reality neither enhances their ability to succeed or compete with hearing job-wise or academic-wise. Always they exhort the success of the few to suggest the many can do the same, but it doesn't happen and in the end they will end blaming the mainstream fo... Sun, Jul 11 2021 Mental Health in Deaf Children. At The Rim The most recent study of mental health in deaf children (in England), showed that 26% in a sample of 144 signing deaf children and young people not currently accessing child mental health services had a probable mental health problem and 57% had a possible mental health problem (Roberts et al, 2015). This is much higher than the general population of 11-1... Sun, Jul 11 2021 Education: What students say. At The Rim You cannot help wondering how far you would have progress IF the sign was used day one? Mostly the view is you would not have got so far as you have now as they don't encourage speech so much, not so much Mom's the word, but 'silence is golden' is the maxim most are following. Unfortunately, sign language still hasn't the vocabulary to assist in higher/further ... Mon, Jul 05 2021 Now you see Stats, Now you don't? At The Rim On the HoH media sites, always good for a proper debate on loss issues, today, how many deaf or hard of hearing ARE there really? #1 As far as I am aware only 2 official sources exist regarding statistics on deaf and HoH people and they come from the BDA (Deaf BSL), and the RNID Deaf/deaf (and whatever), both are the SOLE source of data to the government with n... Sat, Jul 03 2021 How 'mentors' promote sub cultures. At The Rim Teachers to the deaf state you simply do not have enough signs to teach deaf children with (in the academic sense), there are no technical BSL signs they can use, and they also pointed out teachers were not aware of ones that did, nor, were their class support, who very often had only bare BSL skills. They are using terms like 'spider' to describe bacteri... Wed, Jun 30 2021 What we know At The Rim Deaf Learners x Math Screencast from Learner Variability Project on Vimeo. And deaf activism doesn't. [Including a lack of signs to do the job]. Tue, Jun 29 2021 You CANNOT be serious! At The Rim A term attributed to some tennis player, but used in context here to explain why hearing loss awareness is a cruel joke at the expense of near 10m wasted lives in the UK. [our weekly round-up of the HoH media which tends to address hearing loss as the main issue]. #1 Awareness needs to be raised so much still, that discrimination is Not okay! #2 Awar... Sun, Jun 27 2021 FLY BA! At The Rim Shame the UK government won't let the deaf or anyone else fly anywhere! Thu, Jun 24 2021 Where IS the Interpreter? At The Rim Clearly NOT live with the Scottish first Minster, so why Target Boris, when Scotland already has an BSL Bill too? Tue, Jun 22 2021 FEEDSPOT! At The Rim TOP RANKINGS (UK) FOR DEAF BLOGS. Number 1. ATR Number 2. ATR Number 3. ATR Number 4. ATR Number 5. ATR Number 6. ATR Number 7. ATR Number 8. ATR Number 9. ATR Number 10. ATR Numbers 11 - 167 LOSERS, charities, egotists, and obsessives. Tue, Jun 22 2021 Why BSL ISN'T a language. At The Rim BSL actually has no 'norm' as such, but is a random collection of regional signs, signed English additions, and hearing approaches that struggle to normalize its structures. because the deaf have issues learning languages and its nuances. The Welsh 'ABC' ASL has much more form and structure to it, even if a bit mixed up about how to go about it, they are at leas... Mon, Jun 21 2021 Are the Deaf just opportunists? At The Rim While a court case took place recently by deaf using the government for non-provision of BSL on a few covid updates, thereby hangs the tale. Last year Deaf were warned that opportunist campaigns taking place during covid were working against deaf interests in the main, as deaf were seen dissing access other deaf used (Subtitles, Captions), and even attacking BSL int... Thu, Jun 17 2021 ATR's response the Welsh Senedd (BSL Bill proposal). At The Rim Having had 51% response from Senedd members regarding the BSL Bill proposal (Which is 50% more than the BDA had!), we include the latest response their official reply to ATR (Which was basically a cut and paste from the BDA's demands. HI. Many thanks for your response. Unfortunately, the BDA and other groups are claiming the Senedd has accepted a BSL Bill and ... Wed, Jun 16 2021 New BSL co-operative ‘could transform the future of... At The Rim A New BSL co-operative ‘could transform the future of interpreting’ [Not the view of BSL interpreters!]. A partnership between Deaf people and British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters could be set to transform the future of interpreting across the UK. Leading Deaf figures are supporting a new co-operative that is developing an online platform that they hope ... Wed, Jun 16 2021 Communication Strategy. At The Rim It is a moot point with audiology areas. As the poster says, they assess the degree of loss, and how much amplification, etc can help what hearing you have left, really they should be then referring clients to CAV (communication assessment viability), areas and even counseling. As yet these don't exist it is either learn BSL or try to lip-read and try to follow t... Tue, Jun 15 2021 Barking up the wrong trees? At The Rim There are huge differences in how signed support operates between the USA and other areas e.g. the UK. Who told deaf in no uncertain terms they please themselves how they work, who they support, and when. There is little or no agency that can oversee and act if an interpreter creates an issue for a deaf person, they cannot be taken to task for mis-signing an issue... Sat, Jun 12 2021 Government and BSL At The Rim Taken from Westminster's own accessibility area. British Deaf Association state that there are 151,000 users of British sign language in the UK. [Not validated and regarded as hearsay] BSL was developed over several centuries. However, it was not until 2003 that the then Government announced that BSL would be formally recognised as an official minority language i... Tue, Jun 08 2021 Link-Up. At The Rim A 'Mini-Zoom' venture aimed at creating an accessible space for those to socialize with hearing loss. But already being spammed! Given the UK has 10 MILLION with hearing loss will this micro version of 8 people do anything much? Is it a viable alternative to face to face which HL has abandoned due to Covid. LinkUps Our LinkUps are for people who ar... Mon, Jun 07 2021 Deaf lives are worthless. At The Rim Doesn't look like the Scottish BSL Bill is working! Doctors at NHS Scotland gave a deaf man a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order without his knowledge or consent. The profoundly deaf man is a resident at Deaf Action’s supported accommodation for deaf adults in Slateford Green, Edinburgh. He is in his 60s, with a good quality of life. He had no knowledge of... Sat, Jun 05 2021 Mee Maws..... At The Rim Lip-speaking just not as we know it perhaps. (Ok what did he say?). #1 mee-maw (third-person singular simple present mee-maws, present participle mee-mawing, simple past and past participle mee-mawed) To make exaggerated movements with the mouth so as to be understood above a loud noise, such as that of machinery. To make a two-syllable wailing noise. #2 ... Fri, Jun 04 2021 BSL Bill (Wales). Set to fail. At The Rim As seen from the latest Senedd updates, they are no longer pursuing deaf issues in Wales after Senedd members pulled out and Charities did feeling it was all wasted time with 65% non-attending any meetings and grass-root deaf barred from inclusion. The nail in the BSL coffin seems to be a circular distributed to every Senedd member by ATR pointing out n... Wed, Jun 02 2021 A Deaf fairy tale.... At The Rim 'We aren't disabled.....' Of course, the deaf are disabled, ignorance, paranoias, and cultural hype can be barely an excuse. They have special schools day one, claim the highest disability support allowances and welfare, are classed as having special needs by own demand. They claim disability funding even to promote their own 'culture', where they launch output in... Tue, Jun 01 2021 The Sunday Quiz (2021) At The Rim Updated to modern norms..... Are you a 'Paul' or a 'Sue'? Sun, May 30 2021 The secret Pandemic...
At The Rim It's a global pandemic that makes Covid appear like the common cold. 25-30% of the entire world population suffers hearing loss and those going deaf are getting younger, it's not an old person's issue anymore or a 'natural' degrading of hearing, with disgruntled oldies holding a cupped hand to their ear, get real! We are deafening ourselves. We compensate by goin... Sat, May 29 2021 |
