Soap operas go for the deaf angle... Again. At The Rim It won't be awareness because we haven't cracked that ourselves, as it becomes a contention usually. Social media are split between the 'what a great idea!' to 'Oh no are we to go through all this again?' as differing areas argue the pros and con's of signing or CI's etc, do we really care? Read on they are engaging already... 1 There is a report in The Su... Tue, Feb 25 2020 · 7 hours ago What deaf should NOT do. At The Rim Reading a jokey vlog in the UK from a BSL signer who mocked hearing annoyed at aspects of hearing loss, 'what hearing do, what deaf do', a reader once hearing hit back. 'I have been hearing and deaf and everything else in between for 50 YEARS, the vlogger does not know what she is talking about, perhaps this fabled 'intuition' they claim visually doesn't really e... Sat, Feb 22 2020 Taxi! At The Rim Complaints by deaf and HoH they have no access to the taxi services. (1) My area some taxis are text accessible and take emails already. Signed access is unnecessary and impossible really, only makes access more difficult there are no signed services to facilitate it. (2) Access for access sake, TEXT it! ATR: A lot of poor access is/was because of HEARIN... Fri, Feb 21 2020 I'm not deaf! At The Rim Like so many, JENNI MURRAY refused to accept she was losing her hearing but since getting help realises it's daft that the subject is such a taboo. Curled up on the sofa one Saturday night, I was watching a TV drama with my family. 'Watching' being the right word, as most of what was being said escaped me. Being someone who prides herself on her immaculate diction... Thu, Feb 20 2020 Why DON'T deaf know English? At The Rim Indeed and the USA version of our language leaves a lot to be desired too. They seem to be dropping vowels at random, and the USA grammar is in a structure of its own too. Other than justifying sign language why not challenge the declaration ASL/BSL is an 'IN' to English? or, that cultural demands are opposing the acquisition of English and its grammar? Or ack... Thu, Feb 20 2020 Deaf oxymoron's of the world unite... At The Rim You have nothing to lose but your sign, and everything to gain including speech. [On being an oxymoron in communication.] Sarah Elizabeth Moreman Born deaf, Sarah Moreman used Cued Speech to learn independence. I turned 40 this month, which made me particularly reflective of the twists and turns of my journey as an oxymoron. This perception of my being oxymoro... Thu, Feb 20 2020 And the band played on.. At The Rim Lip-reading, is it worth it? Pretty much the answer is negative, but no Hard of Hearing support for sign language either. Yet more angst from HoH social media... 'Has anyone else tried lip-reading classes and given up? I have tried 3 different terms now and am useless at it. I also found the classes quite tedious despite the nice tutor. I think one problem is... Wed, Feb 19 2020 The sound of bass. At The Rim I think we should be wary of suggesting that appreciation of heavily inclusive bass and percussion actually enhances music appreciation. Deaf are just experiencing the physical pressures Bass and percussions produce, they are still unable to appreciate many instruments or indeed, the singing voice and all the permutations that exist with those, of course, 'pop' music... Wed, Feb 19 2020 SPD new communication Cards At The Rim It is rather accepting the police are being told we cannot speak and they need not bother to learn sign either isn't it? Is all the deaf can do is point and mime? I don't think this is awareness or access personally I would find it patronising and demeaning. Most deaf can speak, if they choose not to that's silly. Tue, Feb 18 2020 Rights trump need? At The Rim Social media round-up what the Hard of Hearing were talking about. (1) Last year my local Boots had a poster stating 'BSL' customers welcome in-shop support. It was the first time ever I saw any shop doing that. They had the sign poster up and the loop/ear logo. I went in the loop wasn't switched on nobody knew how to do it. As regards to the sign access none of th... Tue, Feb 18 2020 New Video Tests for deaf and disabled drivers. At The Rim Video clips are to replace written scenarios in UK driving theory tests to make them more accessible. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) announced that, from April 14, learners will be asked three questions after watching a driving clip of up to 30 seconds. The change follows research which found that learners with reading difficulties and disabiliti... Tue, Feb 18 2020 There are no Deaf and no Hard of Hearing At The Rim There are only statistics. This is a well-trodden area by ATR who has pursued the truth and the real statistics about hearing loss for years with little success. E.G. The NHS does NOT keep records of the deaf in regards to their communication usage so there are none to be quoted, clinical records of deafness exist but again degree is recorded randomly and devo... Sun, Feb 16 2020 No No Rikki At The Rim Rikki gets sniffy about captioning, but let us examine her own vlog which has captioning errors too and is a pretty obvious vlog using deaf awareness to make money itself. A few countries outside the USA are actively opposing advertising in certain areas (Celebs etc), capitalising on its fan base, but Rikki does the same. As to her 'celeb' status that is up to o... Sun, Feb 16 2020 Inspirational Porn At The Rim 'Inspirational porn' is not really understood in that disabled/deaf/mental health individuals can vary considerably via personal responses themselves. In part, IP exists to counter trauma and misconceptions about how issues affect people. There is further confusion that relates to certain areas of deafness and disability that despise online expressions of succeedin... Fri, Feb 14 2020 Deaf and Hard of Hearing At The Rim Top marks to this vlog for offering up the accurate descriptions of people with hearing loss. Aka deaf are people that cannot hear, and Hard of hearing are people with various levels of hearing loss, and none of your cultural/sign excuses or diversion. Fri, Feb 14 2020 More deaf charity mergers. At The Rim It would seem Australia is yet another country that is being forced to merge its charities with others to survive, as deaf and Hard of Hearing alike, stop being members and supporters of charitable institutions and are instead pursuing a rights-led approach to support and access, with little success. Already this has forced the UK's BDA and AOHL to downgrade levels... Thu, Feb 13 2020 Deaf denied internet access. At The Rim A Deaf man from J&K travelled all alone to Punjab just to use the internet. Let me tell you about his story. On 5th August 2019, when the Indian government divided J&K into the two territories all communication lines in J&K were cut off. Although the postpaid mobile phones sprang back to life more than two months later, the internet continues to remain off. ... Wed, Feb 12 2020 Here, there, and everywhere At The Rim Welcome the dual captioning, unsure what the point is? They appear to be getting more professional at stating the obvious. But the UK contribution seems lacking somewhat. Croeso i'r pennawd deuol, yn ansicr beth yw'r pwynt? Mae'n ymddangos eu bod yn dod yn fwy proffesiynol wrth nodi'r amlwg. Ond mae'n ymddangos bod cyfraniad y UK yn brin rhywfaint. Wed, Feb 12 2020 SignHealth campaign suspect? At The Rim SignHealth's latest campaign on deaf mental health support suffered a drawback when ATR pointed out that the charity itself had not the BSL specialisation to support the deaf themselves. In a reply to an ATR request for proof, they stated they were not aware of any BSL interpreter system where specialisation in deaf mental heal existed or a system set up to train th... Wed, Feb 12 2020 New rules for Finland subtitling standards. At The Rim Finland is the latest European country to roll out a new set of quality requirements for subtitles in television programs. The quality recommendations comprise two sets of guidelines; one for Finnish subtitles and another for Swedish subtitles. (Finland has two official languages, Finnish and Swedish.) The AV Translation Center published the recommendations on Ja... Tue, Feb 11 2020 Make 'em Laugh, Make 'em Laugh. At The Rim ADULT humour, topicality, and the deaf, can interpreters hack it? And can the deaf take a joke themselves? What you don't want is to change the dialogue to suit the deaf. We should be against anything that has a hashtag in front of it. If you have to explain a joke no point. It seems deaf want inclusion but not the ribbing they could get with it the same as hear... Tue, Feb 11 2020 The real cost of deafness... At The Rim Deafness World Medical Education from OCB Media on Vimeo.Not all sign, community, and culture then? Just a huge $750b dependency system suggesting they DON'T have any problems except hearing people. Mon, Feb 10 2020 Seeing Music At The Rim TEDxUniGeneva - Douglas RIDLOFF - Seeing music from Lakeprod on Vimeo. Mon, Feb 10 2020 International Cochlear Implant Day!

The Sunshine Coast CICADA ( Cochlear Implant Club and Advisory Association Queensland ) group is a growing group on the Sunny Coast supporting all who have a Cochlear Implant or are con... Mon, Feb 10 2020 The BSL driving school At The Rim BSL Driving School for the Deaf and Hard of hearing on the BBC from BSL Driving School on Vimeo. Sat, Feb 08 2020 Transport for Wales sign App. At The Rim Transport for Wales has announced that a new sign language app has been launched to help passengers from the deaf community to travel more easily. The new app, called Interpreter Now, uses a video call system to make communication easier between the passenger and railway staff. Passengers can download the free app and sign to an interpreter via the app through a... Sat, Feb 08 2020 Perfomance Interperting. At The Rim Sometimes social media actually tries to understand the deaf, but they don't like answering questions much, seems a typical example of UK BSL deaf utilising sign to defeat debate and to kill searching questioning. If all else fails claim they are attacking deaf? Will there ever be a neutral platform online that address this? The video above WHO are the deaf watc... Fri, Feb 07 2020 Deaf in a Hearing world. At The Rim Not so much being ignored but walking away from inclusion. OK you can't hear get stuck in, don't walk away! Her issue isn't being deaf it is a lack of confidence. Inclusion demands participation and a will to engage, the actor here just walked away suggesting she wanted no part of it. Inclusion is a 50/50 deal if you are waiting for a rights campaign and an inte... Fri, Feb 07 2020 British Sign Language trial for PMQs At The Rim 05 February 2020. The House of Commons is to trial live British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation of Prime Minister’s Questions starting with today's PMQs. This is a pilot trial building on previous work with BSL interpreters, including providing live BSL interpretation for Westminster Hall debates and a select committee evidence session in 2019. Parliament T... Wed, Feb 05 2020 How the UK's Largest loss charity nearly collapsed. At The Rim Apologies this is a long post, because we have included an entire article from AOHL. ATR response is included to save another blog doing that.Mark Atkinson: It's staggering that a 108-year-old charity came that close to running out of cash 03 February 2020 Having overseen a radical transformation of the disability charity Scope, Atkinson is now charged with sorting... Wed, Feb 05 2020 Hearies create own signing At The Rim And annoy the purists. ATR: If they criticise hearing attempts then it will discourage them from trying. Most of the negativity of sign language is the deaf being hyper-critical of how it is signed, everything about sign 'awareness' is a LECTURE, e.g. Deaf do this, Deaf do that, this isn't 'real' sign, the 'right' way to talk to us, the wrong way, 5/10/15 things h... Tue, Feb 04 2020 The USA Census and the 'Deaf' At The Rim The census is important for all with hearing loss as it allows identification of need and support, The UK made a mess of forcing through a question to identify deaf and cultural people, because they were non-specific about WHO they wanted to Identify. The result was huge negative for the sign users as prior to the census it was claimed at that time by sign char... Sat, Feb 01 2020 Invisible no more? At The Rim Will the deaf wear them? Disability sunflowers to be recognised at London Liverpool Street. From this week, passengers with hidden disabilities now have a discreet way to ask for extra help at London Liverpool Street railway station. Sunflower branded lanyards and ticket holders can be picked up from the reception on platform 10 at the station, and act as a subtle... Fri, Jan 31 2020 £30,000 taxi bill to attend deaf school. At The Rim "This hugely excessive waste of taxpayers’ money is an outrage," say the Moreton family - who want to move. Southwark Council spends more than £30,000 a year just on taxis to get a profoundly deaf girl to school in St Albans because her family cannot get council housing there. Mum-of-two, Sophie, lives in council housing in Bermondsey with her partner and chil... Tue, Jan 28 2020 Smart Energy At The Rim Smart Energy. Deaf audience film from Flare/ Flare Studio on Vimeo. There seem a few views on this including claims these meters can be hacked into and your bills altered and utility companies using or selling your data. Mostly it is so that utility companies don't have to employ meter readers any more and saving energy is simply you seeing how much you use than swi... Tue, Jan 28 2020 Deaf Society collapse: Home closed. At The Rim ONE of Blackburn's most prominent office developments has been sold off after the collapse of the East Lancashire Deaf Society. King's Court was one of the was key assets held by the Heaton Street-based charity, which collapsed last June. Administrators have now confirmed that the offices, which latterly had 13 tenants, had been sold to Properties North West, on... Tue, Jan 28 2020 Is sign language worth learning? At The Rim The perennial question Hard of hearing keep asking themselves, but is the answer in the fact they are asking? #1 I did level 1 last year (want to continue but couldn't find course during daytime locally); I just really enjoyed it and found it a great way of meeting people. I didn't do it because of the hearing loss but just because it was something I'd always wan... Tue, Jan 28 2020 CCG's, CQC and the true esult of UK care. At The Rim ATR picked up this recently online from the UK's largest hearing loss charity (Who failed to mention it is selling off all their own care homes for the deaf). It also fails to clarify devolved areas use differing health options too, so we should not read this as an 'UK-wide' thing. "Vital hearing aid services across England could be at risk because an overwhelm... Sun, Jan 26 2020 Researching deaf reading abilities. At The Rim I wonder if there is a distinct difference approach? between DEAF and Hard of Hearing attainment, it would be an error to assume 'like with like' as even a few more decibels holds a real key to attainment (As does reliance on non-standard ASL grammar approaches). As we are aware the USA has just a single Deaf University where such statistics can be be done with a... Sat, Jan 25 2020 USA Census At The Rim LNKI. What are the questions regarding deaf people and sign usage? degree of skills? daily or occasional usage etc? In the UK census a simple question was do you sign and it failed to identify who did, or how effective it was for the deaf, the question was 'loaded' by signing activist language groups to omit actual usage and reliance facts. It meant a census stati... Fri, Jan 24 2020 Charity moving from support to campaigning?
At The Rim ATR. A recent charity article, poorly sourced it seems, as only the NDCS actually campaigns for all children with hearing loss, NONE of the other UK charities are inclusive but 'A or B' supportive via db loss or sign usage. In short, campaigning is pointless unless INCLUSIVE. As regards to successfully installing a BSL GCSE we have yet to see it, and the NDCS a... Fri, Jan 24 2020 |
