NDCS in dissaray over the BSL Bill At The Rim ATR: Thanks for your email. it has been passed on to myself to respond to as Head of Policy and Influencing for Wales at the National Deaf Children’s Society Cymru. At the National Deaf Children’s Society we operate on the basis of informed choice. Our belief is that families should be informed of all communication options and have the opportunity to pursue th... Wed, Mar 03 2021 · 16 hours ago The UK's most popular Deaf blog blows it again. At The Rim The latest offering by Mr O Dell on the UK's Limping Chicken blog who claims to be a 'deaf journalist' now complains about world hearing day being negative about awareness, pity he didn't use his 'journalistic eyes and actually READ what it was all about, AWARENESS of hearing loss. The British Deaf Association must be turning out these daft deaf extremists on a convey... Wed, Mar 03 2021 · 23 hours ago Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus. At The Rim Happy St David's day! (And thrrrrp to English Rugby :) ) Wales 40 England 24...... Who was St David? Things you didn't know, you didn't know! (1) Wales had 2 saints, so we gave one (St Patrick), to the Irish. (2) United States Declaration of Independence signed in Philadelphia. Sixteen of the 56 signatories are of Welsh descent, Francis Lewi... Mon, Mar 01 2021 The UK Census At The Rim UK Census on Deaf people part 1: The Driver Brothers from DeafStation on Vimeo. The last census was a monumental failure for the Deaf in that less than 15,000 said they used or relied on BSL in England, whereas the BDA claimed 10s of 1,000s did, even 95,000 (Which they failed to clarify was the UK estimate not an English one), someone is telling porkies. This year co... Mon, Mar 01 2021 I'm scared my signing is going... At The Rim A result of putting all eggs in one basket? A valid reason why ALL deaf need alternative options to sign reliance, and not least because she was struggling to find a sign to use, maybe this down to the single-handed finger/hand selling approach ASL users have. It's very adept and clever but as highlighted a bit of carpal tunnel or arthritis, even RSI, you're screwed... Sat, Feb 27 2021 Welsh BSL Bill Open letter. At The Rim ATR (who didn't endorse a welsh BSL Bill proposal as it stands because it lacked inclusion), and challenged the proposer, gets responses. (I hope deaf.read allows this, as they have already blocked two attempts.) What ATR wrote to the proposer: Hi Mark I appreciate you gave me a hearing (So to speak!), but it is all academic anyway giving an election is loo... Sat, Feb 27 2021 Zoom to offer free captions. At The Rim [Facetime/skype et al take note!]. As part of our commitment to connecting users across the world, we are focused on continually enhancing our features to provide a platform that is accessible to all of the diverse communities we serve. Among the Zoom Meetings accessibility features we offer to all users are manual closed captioning, keyboard accessibility,... Thu, Feb 25 2021 Living with profound lass. At The Rim Living with profound hearing loss from SimpleUsability on Vimeo. Could the real answer just be awareness doesn't work? Another post that highlights sign language promotion is causing awareness distortion and disinformation whilst creating very real issues of access and inclusion for other deaf people too, by refusing to clarify need or identify deaf people. Request... Tue, Feb 23 2021 Google AI reads sign language too. At The Rim Google states that its new project allows smartphones to interpret and “read aloud” sign language. There’s no app, but there are algorithms developers can use to make their own apps. Until now, this type of software has only worked on PCs, so it’s a huge and important step. The hearing-impaired community appreciated the project, but also noted that ... Tue, Feb 23 2021 Why, Do People Assume Everyone With Hearing Loss Can Sign? At The Rim We would love for you to make videos to reach a hearing loss audience, the media rep suggested. “Sure, that sounds good,” I replied, “assuming the videos would be captioned, of course.” “But wouldn’t you just sign in them?” she asked with some confusion. I stopped dead in my tracks in surprise. “Most people with hearing loss, myself included, don’t k... Mon, Feb 22 2021 The Gift of Hearing At The Rim A brave Maltese woman who was born with a heart condition and is now living her life as a bilateral cochlear implant (CI) user has opened up to raise awareness about the challenges and experiences that came along with it. Around 23 years ago, Luisa Fenech was born with a hole in her heart and given medication to treat her condition. She was then told tha... Sun, Feb 21 2021 Quit scaring deafies with Alzheimer's. At The Rim Deaf people are being bombarded online with claims they are all going to suffer Alzheimer's because of it, they ignore the fact 1 in 14 (Mainly over 65's), and hearing can get it as well. Alzheimer's is a clinical issue [below] not down to hearing loss at all. Alzheimer's disease is thought to be caused by the abnormal build-up of proteins in and around brain cel... Thu, Feb 18 2021 Are young deaf ready? At The Rim The READY research project is following the lives of deaf young people aged 16 – 19 over 5 years. We are still looking for recruits, particularly deaf young people from lower-income backgrounds. We have currently recruited 246 from England, Scotland and Wales, although only 158 have continued past the information and consent forms to complete the online questionnair... Thu, Feb 18 2021 Been Deaf, done That. At The Rim Having recently read Ezio Savva's recent advert for his discourse on dysfunctional audism, ATR feels bound to respond with some realism on what was in fact a fudged concept at day one. The paper is 4 years old as it is and based on a 10yr old issue first written up by the Americans, (A source of 100s of rather pointless terms, memes, outrageous blame games, and ca... Wed, Feb 17 2021 What is the 'Street Value' of sign language? At The Rim Wall Street Sign. #1 I've had profound hearing loss since birth and used lipreading plus my tiny bit of hearing as my main means of communication until I was well into adulthood. I then learned BSL. My preferred communication support is a lip speaker with sign support - so much less tiring than lipreading but English remains my first language so I don't get on well... Tue, Feb 16 2021 BSL the costs.... At The Rim Some aggravations and frustrations at deaf people poking fun at hearing in deliberate attempts to inflame, or at least reinforce their case of deaf discrimination. Then they add where to get online amateur BSL lessons that are not recognised by any agency. Social media readers NOT amused! #1 It's a ridiculous attempt to sound elite and superior by a sector almost ... Mon, Feb 15 2021 EU and clear masks. At The Rim Firstly the UK is no longer part of the EU. Statistics regarding clear mask demands or take up, are virtual nil, only hearsay and coming from charitable campaign areas in the UK. The UK NHS has so far recorded little or no demand for clear masks as such from deaf themselves. Current DIY clear masks are useless as any sort of covid protection and... Fri, Feb 12 2021 BSL levels wot? At The Rim The fact most are following this video with TEXT not sign language rather defeats the point doesn't it? How many deaf HAVE a sign language qualification? Just because they sign does not mean they are showing proof of any level pass in it. Many are not aware of the latest signs of the last 5-10years, they stick with what they knew beforehand. Hearing interpret... Thu, Feb 11 2021 A G BELL hated by the deaf ? At The Rim Not true obviously, A G Bell offered choice, which is the central tenet of the American constitution. A G Bell allegedly 'hated' by sign users, used sign language at age 12. His drive to assist speech was down to the trauma of seeing his mother go deaf and his want to help others not suffer the same fate. He started at a time where most deaf were considered unte... Thu, Feb 11 2021 The Ear Logo: Dated and invalid now? At The Rim #1 The sticker is a great idea except that it may confuse hearing people into thinking they need to speak louder to you. Plus not everyone wears hearing aids. #2 Not everyone lip-reads or signs! the 'ear' logo is no longer valid really. There is no one size/image fits all so no one image to suggest what your issue is, it is meaningless in identifying... Mon, Feb 08 2021 Deaf Britons may get extra £356 each month At The Rim The State pension: Britons may get extra £356 each month for hearing loss or other conditions. STATE pension payments are important to millions of Britons who have departed the workforce, but there could be additional amounts available for those with hearing loss or alternative conditions. State Pension payments are made available to Britons of an eligible age ... Sun, Feb 07 2021 NZSL deaf studies At The Rim So the trade-off is still the same? nil hearing loss awareness, cultural indoctrination, sign lessons for hearing, and social modelling? The real courses needed are deaf and HoH awareness ones, which the deaf seem determined to ignore, but inclusion won't happen without it, and we all know the cultural deaf views on inclusion are mostly negative or relative (In th... Sat, Feb 06 2021 Policy Win! At The Rim Deaf young people who use BSL won't have to pass GCSE English for the new T-level qualification. They'll need Level 2 BSL certification instead. This is good news as many deaf people have been held back in the past for not having GCSE English. [NDCS]. We are wondering how many employers are going to accept an alternative to English as a job qualification? or those ta... Sat, Feb 06 2021 Deaf people aren't rude! At The Rim Some are, the reality is locked away in their own deaf worlds, they have no awareness of tact, discretion, or hearing norms and etiquette. Anyone going online to their various sites will find not only really rude deaf people, but openly hostile ones, to suggest only hearing are that way is a fudge. A lot of deaf are rude because along with responses to others t... Fri, Feb 05 2021 Access to Work support At The Rim Is it the right way to help deaf get jobs? Two trains of thought, (1) Deaf don't get the benefits of it, but their support does. (2) It doesn't it suggest access or empowerment at all. We are all different. I tend to look to the long term and it is an established DWP fact the deaf A2W scheme is the most expensive allowance to any disabled person in the UK... Thu, Feb 04 2021 Deaf Got religion At The Rim I've got religion, well, I've had deafness, and we all need a change... this rant/blog should be accessible in sign language, but I can't be a.r.s.e.d. Some of the jokes/asides (insults) require a degree in deaf awareness, but send me a quid I'll qualify you, It will still be £249 cheaper from the pointless c.r.a.p. the BDA would send you, and I won't pester you for ... Tue, Feb 02 2021 The Wiki guide to deafies At The Rim The current online page is unofficial and unvalidated, (As is most of wiki). As with any online site please chack content is from a reliable source. Is Wikipedia a reliable source? Wikipedia can be edited by anyone at any time. This means that any information it contains at any particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or just plain wrong. Ho... Mon, Feb 01 2021 Asking the deaf the real questions? At The Rim Of course, they don't, the questions are pre-determined at the start and about 'access' or rather their view of it. It is pretty amazing as a deaf person and observer of the deaf over many years, we note that NOTHING has changed from the deaf view at all in 30 years except we mistakenly approved of their chosen isolation approaches as a right of some kind. Yes we n... Sun, Jan 31 2021 Is Sign language realistic for the Hard Of Hearing? At The Rim Mostly, no it isn't. The fact such classwork has levels and built-in 'deaf awareness' is a fudge really because everyone's idea of awareness is different or non-applicable. ATR is of the view mostly they are money-making schemes etc where vested interests of various ilk, set themselves up as 'advisors' or teachers of sign language or culture etc but mostly with bias... Sat, Jan 30 2021 Relay this..... At The Rim Is your relay call really necessary? A short review of online deaf Hard of Hearing responses... #1 I thought relay systems were obsolete? as we can text, email etc most people now, indeed they prefer that method. I have easy access to my GP this way and the NHS, also to 999, I am not comfortable with video access because sign relay is nil use to me. #2 I gathe... Fri, Jan 29 2021 Counselling Hearing Loss. At The Rim The Canadian approach seems to go along with the stat view hearing loss is an issue primarily for older people, they even call it a 'seniors' set up to hammer home the point. They do seem to not be aware that hearing loss can start at BIRTH, and even young adults from 16yrs of age onward start suffering hearing loss, a lot caused by ignoring volume levels on music ... Thu, Jan 28 2021 Deaf Trauma At The Rim Deaf Trauma 2021 from Keyring Media on Vimeo. Canada needs to do what the UK is doing and close down 'specialist' deaf schools that operate in isolation from mainstream, and thus are unregulated and unmonitored. Research taught us in the UK less than 15% of ALL deaf children require a school with specialisation and with adequate support can manage mainstream ( I emph... Tue, Jan 26 2021 Village Idiot Diaries (The first bit). At The Rim Call me Ishmael (no better not, 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. I discovered quite by accident that makes me a bona-fide 'cultural' deaf person, genetically (Which is one above being a mere sign user, thu... Tue, Jan 26 2021 Misconceptions At The Rim A response to ATR who suggested to a youtube poster that a refusal to adopt English was making things harder for deaf people. (Apart for the fact the poster uses English to make the point!). #1 It's the hearing world that needs to be more inclusive, but it depends on government policies, government goodwill and the hearing society willingness too. The poliglotic app... Mon, Jan 25 2021 Deaf Anthology question raised in London.. At The Rim It's a rare occasion when Westminster in London acknowledges the deaf or American deaf at all, it is only since we got rid of Europe we have taken an interest in the Americas, and bleached Kentucky Chicken wings to be honest. We get all the drugs we need from the middle east and Russian mafioso now Marseille and Holland are non-persona grata. ATR apologises for som... Fri, Jan 22 2021 State of the Union At The Rim [A view from behind the UK barricade] After watching what was a ridiculous inauguration of a senile (But nice) old bloke in Washington who brought the church and circus into town, a trans singer dressed like coco the clown, which was followed by an outbreak of silly grins, while the populace were banned from attending (because that is taking democracy too far... Thu, Jan 21 2021 White Favouritism? At The Rim The problem isn't white people or white privilege, but poor democracy and those who actually believe you can legislate equality and acceptance, and then label other people racists because it failed, it has never worked. Attempts to replace 'white privilege' with ethnic preferential status and treatment for others is a recipe for angst as well. To suggest White peo... Tue, Jan 19 2021 You're banned! At The Rim She swore at an idiot now banned, how many of us have been taunted to do that! The poster needs to ID trhe site as one to avoid. We need deaf and HoH to know we aren't' going to tolerate these people their sites or their 'Trump democracy'. When you see some of the stuff that is posted then see someone has been banned for something pretty harmless it ... Fri, Jan 15 2021 The Deaf Way to endorse abuse. At The Rim It has to be said the isolated nature of the 'Deaf' communities, and some accepted 'norms' borders on real neglect of women's rights to their detriment. There is almost an incestuous nature of the communal makeup where a dearth of females can mean they get 'passed around' the deaf menfolk, women may feel that is still their choice to choose a partner, but that 'ch... Thu, Jan 14 2021 I need an ID, so what am I? At The Rim I know it might sound silly, but i don't know anything about hearing loss etc, so now there have said I've got mild-moderate hearing loss does this get classed has partiality deaf??? , I'm really sorry if it's a daft question To be or not to be seen, appears to be your question. I don't envy the poster wondering what on earth his 'classification' is, just pick 'n... Wed, Jan 13 2021 Kids, can YOU design a cure for deafness? At The Rim (Now all we need is a cure for the negatives...). A global competition inviting children aged 6-12 to create an invention for people with hearing loss closes this coming Sunday 17th January. The annual, worldwide search from leading provider and inventor of hearing implant systems, MED-EL, invites youngsters to create their very own design which will impr... Tue, Jan 12 2021 Lost to deaf culture. At The Rim And nowhere else to go? Why hearing loss awareness has failed worldwide, and people unable to find their place in the world are hosting unrealistic expectations of integrating with someone else's culture, adopting another language, and living another person's lifestyle. It doesn't happen, does it? So you live a life of frustration instead? All you can do is ... Mon, Jan 11 2021 There is no Deaf community. At The Rim Only deaf communities. At least this buries the myth of all deaf sign and all deaf together, doesn't it? We are as discriminating as any hearing person is. It also explains in practical terms why deaf inclusion is entirely relative, it doesn't rely on education or even signed support. Current issues are that everybody is being enabled to exclude by right of th... Mon, Jan 11 2021 The Deaf Cure, yes or no?
At The Rim It is surprising there are still huge distortions being aired by Deaf signers online regarding the 'Cure' or indeed, any form of alleviations on deafness or hearing loss. A lot in this video is actually misleading, and incorrect. One contributor was annoyed an option to ascertain in the womb of a child had Down's syndrome, or deafness etc, there isn't an accurate ...
