Deaf Hate crime on Facebook At The Rim Abusive Facebook messages sent to partially deaf woman in 'disability hate crime' The court heard the messages which Nikkisha Thomas sent brought back painful memories of childhood bullying the victim suffered. A woman sent abusive messages to someone who is partially deaf in a "disability hate crime", a court has heard. Nikkisha Louise Thomas sent the messages via ... Thu, Jul 18 2019 · 18 hours ago World emoji Day At The Rim At a time when the majority of deaf and disabled are fed up of sterotyping and labelling, Apple turns around re-establishing it all again, they just do not get it, we are individuals not their image. 'Disability-Inclusive'? The Deaf will not love that one... We spent years trying to ditch the all-encompassing wheelchair logos and the finger in the ear thing, they ... Thu, Jul 18 2019 · 18 hours ago Delta to include ASL help. At The Rim On board soon: Employee uniforms to include Sign Language option. On the heels of being named "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion" for the fourth consecutive year, Delta will soon be rolling out a uniform language bar option for over 300+ sign languages around the world. Delta is the first U.S. airline to offer this option; and with this improvement, customer... Thu, Jul 18 2019 · 18 hours ago Hearing Aids protect against Dementia At The Rim ATR doesn't support this survey much, 4,000 out of 9 million is hardly conclusive and the fact it came from a commercial site selling hearing aids is suspect too.  We stand corrected, but if you are profound deaf then, you don't wear or can utilise an aid can you? I blame the fact everyone is claiming to be deaf now, mostly to get help with hearing loss. Person... Wed, Jul 17 2019 Finding your peer group At The Rim I don't believe the UK HAS any of real note, we know the deaf have them, but HoH groups are as rare as hen's teeth and we don't join the deaf versions or feel they are peers. We read the 'Deaf & HI' remit all the time but that's a UK hype, not reality. It was hype introduced by the health systems to try to put all with hearing loss under one heading, and to promot... Tue, Jul 16 2019 How hearing people see deaf via their support? At The Rim Video Abstract - Hearing people perceiving deaf people through sign language interpreters at work from Taylor & Francis on Vimeo. Mon, Jul 15 2019 I should be allowed to play a tree if I want. At The Rim Twitter Is Calling Out Scarlett Johansson And It's Now A Huge Meme "I should be allowed to play any person..." [What's with all this 'meme' nonsense anyway? Is it people trying to make us take them seriously?] Sorry folks I'm with her on this, just because minority groups insist on own people doing jobs they aren't trained for or don't believe in won't cut it. ... Mon, Jul 15 2019 Going for the Pulitzer prize At The Rim Saw this recently, I don't usually look at deaf books because they are boringly repetitive and basically nothing to do with my sector and I don't read fiction anyway. Social media of the HoH variety is starting to plug it.. Review#1: It is a great book, I am Canadian and read this when it first came out, passed on to my sisters to get more insight, my brothers not ... Mon, Jul 15 2019 Who are you? At The Rim For the deaf purist only... most as mad as a box of frogs really. Do you want to stir up a hornet’s nest? On social media, ask people with hearing loss what term they use to self-identify. Then sit back and enjoy the fireworks. Deaf. Hard of hearing. Hearing impaired. Deaf. A little deaf. Oral deaf. Deafened. Late-deafened. Hearing loss. Differently-heari... Sat, Jul 13 2019 Don't leave me out! At The Rim Captions are important! Probably more important than signed access. Sat, Jul 13 2019 Peer Support (Australia). At The Rim I don't know about Australian deaf peer support but the UK version is fraught with problems and concerns about deaf people's rights to privacy not being respected, and peer support/mentors' not qualified enough or monitored, it just seems the only qualification is an ability to sign and the entry level for that is suspect.  After watching 'peer support' applicat... Fri, Jul 12 2019 More areas demanding radio hearing aids... At The Rim Unlike many local authorities, Hull City Council does not provide families with specialist equipment so children with hearing difficulties between the ages of 0-4 can hear at home - leaving many to fight a daily battle. 109 councils in England provide radio aids, which have been described as "life-changing technology," and directly transmit a voice through a wire... Fri, Jul 12 2019 Ditching the Social Model.. At The Rim Still not happy with the deaf approaches OR the disabled movement approaches.... have they been beaten by the system? Is it time the equality campaigns sorted out their acts and got real? Are 130,000 dead by swinging cuts to their support not enough? Until the disability movement changes its oppositional campaigns nothing is going to change. They could stop t... Fri, Jul 12 2019 It's probably fake news, but the reality is gene editing is... At The Rim It's probably fake news, but the reality is gene editing is here to stay. 46 deaf-causing genes are said to exist we are told, they haven't found a treatment system for any of them as we are aware, but research is ongoing. As for those who claim the research or implementation of gene editing is opposed, that is untrue, the UK did it this week with NHS patients. ... Thu, Jul 11 2019 Disabled and living in Fear.... At The Rim Living with a disability in the UK today means living in a state of perpetual fear, feeling unheard, patronised and at times like a burden – and it can take a huge toll on your mental health. I was born with a genetic condition called Osteogenesis Impefecta (Brittle Bones) – a condition that won’t get better with age, and I am a full-time wheelchair user. Whe... Thu, Jul 11 2019 Food Banks not an answer? At The Rim The alarming growth of food banks in the western and 'civilised' world appears to debunk the myth of an educated, humane or wealthy set up that cares about its vulnerable in the population. It is said the USA one of the wealthiest countries in the world with huge resources is at the top of neglecting its poor and vulnerable as is the UK, by denying them jobs, dignit... Thu, Jul 11 2019 You aren't deaf enough for me... At The Rim ATR's usual look at non-deaf sites relating to hearing loss, not easy as most are boring charitable awareness sites and ear wax issues B O R I N G! (No wonder we cannot run a decent campaign of any sort.) Today someone decided the group he joined wasn't quite deaf enough for his or her taste... I suppose it was one of these deaf people who assumed everyone signed ... Wed, Jul 10 2019 I'm cured! At The Rim Offering up her usual contention and pro-deaf viewpoint for financial gain it seems, the list of contacts and sponsors seems considerable, I know Ricky needs to earn a living but... questioning the deaf cure. (Again, she did it thrice before), is the latest regurgitation.  Obviously, and ignoring 'cultural concern' (since they AREN'T legally entitled to make any d... Wed, Jul 10 2019 Communication App for deaf-blind. At The Rim Hawking was created to enable deaf-blind people to communicate verbally with any person The application can perform Speech-to-Braille and Braille-to-Speech operations in Hebrew & English with appropriate accessibility indicators so that the conversation is well executed and continuous for both the speaker and the deaf-blind person. This project is part of a fina... Tue, Jul 09 2019 IOW witholding Radio HA provision for deaf children. At The Rim The Isle of Wight Council is among the one in three local authorities that don’t provide vital technology for young deaf children to use at home and it’s leaving many of them facing a daily battle to hear their family and friends, a Deaf Children’s Society has warned. Figures from the charity reveal that the Isle of Wight is among the 43 of England’s 152 co... Tue, Jul 09 2019 Cumbrian Deaf Charity in Crisis At The Rim Removing deaf-led provision and handing it over to hearing tender, has undermined charities it seems. A sign (No pun intended), of the times. The reality is that deaf or HoH led areas do not provide the cheapest or most effective options, e.g. the AOHL equipment provision and services are hugely expensive when it should by definition be a much cheaper non-profit o... Tue, Jul 09 2019 10 things I wish everyone read about... At The Rim A recent response to the 'Awareness' complaints dept (There you go there are dozens of them apparently), that not enough of the mainstream knows we got an issue they need to know about and at least 10-15 major points to note before you come anywhere near us without them being ingrained deep in your psyche, and via a go-between, (in case they try to include or accept u... Mon, Jul 08 2019 APD Versus Hard of Hearing. At The Rim APD is not the inability to hear. It’s the inability to interpret, organize, or analyze what’s heard. All the parts of the hearing pathway are working well. But parts of the brain are not. Some symptoms of APD in children are very similar to the symptoms of a hearing loss. So they’re often confused. But they’re not the same thing. Unlike hearing loss, APD ... Mon, Jul 08 2019 What the UK thinks of Trump At The Rim The idiot on the left is a contender for the UK premiership, the USA thinks IT has problems lol. LINK Mon, Jul 08 2019 Seeing the Invisible. At The Rim As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish that he would go away. Nobody has yet told us HOW you can make an invisible disability visible? From observations what I see is those with them doing all they can to keep as LOW a profile as possible. Of course, this then defeats the awareness point, doesn't it? With t... Mon, Jul 08 2019 Why Bob and Betty signed... At The Rim You can understand a parent communicating with their child, I would too, but I think as a means to an end, not as a total acceptance sign is the sole means a deaf child can succeed with, as sadly, statistics don't support that theory. There is a danger of nurturing sign reliance and not encouraging or examining viable alternatives and other means they can also use.Â... Mon, Jul 08 2019 Blink, and you will miss it. At The Rim In a week that saw ATR exceed 2m audience figures, and add another 8,000 to it, (thanks guys). Tune in HERE and see what you missed. Sun, Jul 07 2019 Cultural hype exposed? At The Rim A recent 'plug' going around extolling deafness via Beethoven was exposed as highly misleading and wrong on a UK Hard of Hearing site. "This is a load of cultural hoo ha, Beethoven wasn't born deaf but acquired hearing loss (Nor profound deafness then), at age 26.  He was already a competent composer and musician BEFORE he went deaf and able to use what diminished... Sun, Jul 07 2019 What IS 'deaf friendly'? At The Rim And what is deaf unfriendly about? Do they gang up on us and beat the shit out of us or what?  From what we read being 'deaf friendly' just means someone will sign at you. I thought that was a legal right anyway? Thu, Jul 04 2019 The UK turns its back on Europe. At The Rim And the opposition swears at them in the EU parliament. Perhaps Federalism isn't what it is hyped up to be? Days after this protest, Germany and France openly pressurised and bribed, other member representatives to ensure their own preferred people took the top Brussels jobs after poorer eastern bloc states tried to block them 2 days running, on grounds Germany... Thu, Jul 04 2019 The truth about deaf people. At The Rim If you want a private life DON'T join the deaf community lol Thu, Jul 04 2019 Hallelujah !!! At The Rim One down 45 others to go..... A radical cure for deafness may have been found thanks to lab animals dubbed ‘Beethoven Mice.’ Scientists revealed that hearing has been salvaged in mice by ‘snipping’ a mutation out of their DNA. And the revolutionary technique also worked on human ear cells grown in the lab. Known as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, it involv... Thu, Jul 04 2019 Allegations of fraud at the ELDS At The Rim From the source link, allegations of fraud, hearsay? "ELDS is closed down because I heard there rumours said recently manager and his some member of staff were arrested by police and will go to court soon over money fraud." DEAF people across East Lancashire have been left stranded after a charity called in administrators - with the expected loss of 70 jobs. Ea... Thu, Jul 04 2019 The Rain in Spain, falls..... At The Rim A hearing-impaired person usually has no frame of reference when it comes to speech, but they possess all the tools needed to speak correctly. Through the process of lip-reading, the deaf can pick up how to speak, and moreover, people who have lost their hearing later on in life often have the powers of speech but lack the practice and the ability to tell if theyâ€... Wed, Jul 03 2019 Inclusive Design... At The Rim Marie van Driessche - Inclusive Design, More than you hear - Designing for deaf people, for everyone actually from Wawel Hill on Vimeo.
