Using the Pharmacy. At The Rim Boots (UK), used to advertise signed access to its pharmacy, I tested it and it wasn't there. The reality is Boots and other areas encourage staff to attend 'awareness' areas to learn basic sign (They don't work!), and then if or when a deaf patient asks for support they ask said staff to help out, they forgot that staff turnover is a huge issue and the only member o... Sun, Nov 17 2019 Unus Annus At The Rim And the prize for the weirdest deaf post this week goes to.... Sun, Nov 17 2019 Deaf Awareness? At The Rim Deaf Awarness from Element51 on Vimeo. Yet another puzzling 'awareness' video from a 'communication awareness' area. No captions, no subtitles, no narrative, just who is it directed at? [shouldn't awareness start at source?], BSL users are already aware of BSL aren't they? If it is for raising awareness with the hearing mainstream or for HoH or non-signing deaf, i... Sat, Nov 16 2019 The NDCS responds to ATR. At The Rim Readers will recall BDA members stating that the NDCS as a 'Deaf' children only charity and attacked ATR for stating differently, the NDCS agrees with ATR. ATR extends many thanks to the NDCS for clarifying the confusion about deaf child support, mainly contributed to by BSL groups like the BDA distorting inclusion policies by hearing loss charities. I can ad... Thu, Nov 14 2019 BDA: We don't want deaf who can't sign. At The Rim "How come if ‘Oral or hearie Deafies’ have been seen speaking to others at BDA events or meetings & even in front of frustrated staff without signing so please can you watch out! Thanks" ATR: Perhaps the BDA has never heard of --- Interpreters? Maybe the BDA does not feel there are any other forms of communication we can and do use? e.g.... ... Wed, Nov 13 2019 The 10 Commandments revisited. At The Rim And 10 more... (11) Thou shalt not insist that all deaf use sign language. (12) Thou must educate all deaf people on what inclusion means. (13) Thou will not use adverse or confusing terminology that highlights difference. (14) Thou will not run campaigns on any awareness based on financial or personal gain. (15) Thou shalt accept everyone w... Wed, Nov 13 2019 'Deafness is an invisible disability' At The Rim The issue, is that how do you ID such people outside of an organised event and where support doesn't exist or awareness? It's also a well-known fact many with hearing loss AVOID being identified. We have not seen any awareness that covers understanding an invisible disability from behind. Signing at deaf people won't make people aware either as most don't sig... Tue, Nov 12 2019 How to be a true Deafie At The Rim Is There a Right Way to Be Deaf? There is a wrong way to be one! Reading this article I just feel sad, a deaf person has grown up being given the sign language her community demands of her only to then turn on her parents and begin the old rambles about 'Us' and 'Hearing people' when it turns out not to be such an advantage at all. Sign was meant as a communicat... Mon, Nov 11 2019 The NDCS and the BSL campaigns: On the fence? At The Rim This is a blog held back because ATR requested clarification from the National Deaf Children's Society regarding claims by social media BSL activists the NDCS was a 'BSL' charity dedicated to culture, unfortunately, the request for clarification sent to the NDCS was ignored, as was clarifications from the BDA, so readers can make up own mind why that is. "i am afra... Sun, Nov 10 2019 An Interview with Graham. At The Rim Graham's Interview from St Roch DDE BSL Project on Vimeo. One wonders how such interviews would take place if the person did not sign and had serious hearing loss and poor lip-reading? A non-starter? One of the major disadvantages of 'deaf awareness', you don't interview people with real problems? Sun, Nov 10 2019 Awareness: Doesn't happen! At The Rim Deaf or HI awareness its a con act isn't it? Jobs for the boys, an income? None of it really works at ground level, (At least that is what Hard of Hearing are saying). #1 "I wear badges, a lanyard , hearing aid jewellery and still it makes no difference! Even when I tell people eventually I'm deaf. Need more deaf awareness for everyone." #2 "If I had a n... Sat, Nov 09 2019 Is there a 'Plan B' ? At The Rim "So what wrong with British sign language?! I don’t want to any change sign by other countries to involve at all! I notice some sign from the USA in our country is spoiled it in my view!" Complaints British sign language has too many random influences in it and complaining sign isn't universal at all, the comment came from a deaf immigrant to the UK struggling to... Fri, Nov 08 2019 Deaf man's fake bomb hoax at Super Bowl. At The Rim A deaf man has admitted carrying out a campaign of bomb hoaxes against targets in the US, Canada and the UK, including the Houses of Parliament, the Super Bowl and dozens of schools. Andreas Dowling, 24, of Torpoint, Cornwall, admitted 30 counts of communicating false information with intent between October 2014 and February 2016, after he made a string of hoax bomb... Fri, Nov 08 2019 Hearing loss and you At The Rim Even mild hearing loss as a child can have long-term effects on how the brain processes sound. When we are born, our brains have a lot to learn. For the newborn baby, everything they learn about the world around them comes from their senses. Therefore, if a child’s brain is deprived of sensory information, it will continue to develop, but in a different way. ... Wed, Nov 06 2019 Deaf online savage the British Deaf Association. At The Rim Who are still refusing to tell people what is happening, gagging members with legal threats, and unwilling to admit the fact they are in debt, or able to function, and without even Trustees to blame. The primary refusal to explain is that only members have the right to know, which is incorrect as a charity depends on the public, and the public purse they are expecte... Mon, Nov 04 2019 Sauce for the Goose At The Rim Well if charities and deafies can organise these things for the Deaf why not for HoH too? Albeit this is a voluntary thing, and the Deaf helpers would want cash up front! It's a new Facebook idea so up to you. NOTE! Take care you aren't making yourself vulnerable to strangers, and that the site is legit. SOURCE Mon, Nov 04 2019 10 Commandments of deaf culture At The Rim (And they still claim it is not a cult!). Perhaps 2 commandments should be: #1 Make it all accessible? #2 Get over yourself? Mon, Nov 04 2019 Deaf blind support: More cuts? At The Rim A teenager has spoken out against potential cuts to funding for the borough’s deaf and blind children, should they get the green light. Ruth Lowe, 17, has been deaf since birth but has led a happy, normal life thanks to crucial support from the NHS and Wigan Council, including the audiology department, nurses for the deaf, teaching assistants, and speech and langua... Mon, Nov 04 2019 Last Hiccup: No deaf community. At The Rim I suppose every area needs its extremes and loners railing against the Windmills of advance, but Last Hiccup is in a league of his own. I rather fear his over-zealous approach to culture and sign language has affected his posts a lot with his random uses of the D and d thing. As regards to a deaf community, clearly, there isn't one (Assuming we recognise the la... Sun, Nov 03 2019 See-Show something. At The Rim See Something Show Something from Morpheyes Studio at NTID on Vimeo. Thu, Oct 31 2019 Blink you wll miss it. At The Rim Still the UK's leading independent deaf blogger. (And without Facebook or charities too!). LINK Thu, Oct 31 2019 Self-Employment in Geramny. At The Rim Self Employed Experiences of the Deaf Community in Germany from Interesource Group on Vimeo. I wonder if the reason many deaf go self-employed is that the barriers are still there for deaf people? Most seem 'coals to Newcastle' in approach in that they are doing the only thing they know (Sign), with the only people they know (Other signers), I am unsure that is in... Thu, Oct 31 2019 10 reasons Why the BDA fails. At The Rim #1 'The BDA has failed us. BSL still isn't legalised as we need it.' So goes on the anger of BDA members still being denied the truth of the BDA's shortcomings, and as reported, still not able to get enough trustees in to do their daily job. Where did it go wrong? (1) The BDA initially misreported the pre-2005 EU declaration on sign language. Insisting it m... Wed, Oct 30 2019 Apple: New Emoji's. At The Rim Apple releases new emojis including Deaf and blind people (ASL - 10.29.19) from Sign1News Admin on Vimeo.But, no captioning...... ASL users still insisting their deaf can't read? Wed, Oct 30 2019 British Deaf Association unable to do business? At The Rim Recent update on the EGM of the BDA to debate the serious loss of 7 trustees, and allegations of bullying by the BDA executive. The declaration appears to state they have been unable to decide anything but to remove the person who called for the EGM (!) and the allegations not yet discussed. Apparently, the BDA is looking for another 'yes' person (Trustee), who ... Wed, Oct 30 2019 Voice to Text on Mobile Devices At The Rim Current overview of speech to text technologies. Mobile electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets are rapidly overtaking the desktop, laptop computers as the primary computing devices for more than 50% of the worldwide customers. Users are increasingly getting used to access the web, read and write messages and interact on social networks. The input of ... Wed, Oct 30 2019 Splitting the Gene. At The Rim Human gene editing sounds like a big deal. Is it? These genetic tools pose fraught biological and ethical questions—but how much call for them is there anyway? Gene editing of human embryos for reproductive purposes—a medical technology often said to promise (or threaten) “designer babies”—is more or less upon us already. It has arrived far sooner than ... Wed, Oct 30 2019 How deaf do you have to be? At The Rim The criteria has nothing to do with deafness but is a platform for signers? Are they going to test deaf people to see what level of proficiency their sign is? and, what will that level be? It could well invalidate the deaf who can play good poker but not sign well. What if the deaf person is a lip-reader? This is the second time deaf have tried to insist on si... Wed, Oct 30 2019 ATR has dropped Facebook. At The Rim Regular readers will have noted there is no longer any Facebook link to ATR. ATR feels directing fellow deaf there opens them up to abuses, and Facebook has repeatedly refused to take deaf abusers to task despite ATR complaints, so, ATR has voted with its feet and no longer directs deaf at that social media. Tue, Oct 29 2019 DfE wants British sign language GCSE ‘as soon as... At The Rim Ministers are aiming to introduce a British sign language GCSE “as soon as possible” – and have pledged to consult on draft content next year. Nick Gibb, the schools minister, has confirmed Department for Education officials are now “working with subject experts to develop draft subject content” for the GCSE. The government relaxed its position on the ... Tue, Oct 29 2019 BDA still moving to silence members. At The Rim Never mind Brexit follow this! How to ensure Deaf people know their place, a prime example of how an overbearing elitist charity is determined to show them who is boss, 7 trustees resigning, followed by gagging orders, demands for member silence, refusals to allow open debate, read it here! (We've been asked to withdraw names to protect concerned BDA members against... Sun, Oct 27 2019 Deaf Children's teacher turns back on them and speaks... At The Rim A teacher for the deaf comes under criticism for turning her back on deaf children when in a pre-school class, as usual, BSL campaigners are angry about this. ATR attempts to cut through the hysteria about sign to suggest the realities of teaching deaf children and the misconceptions over the signing approach. "There does seem issues with the deaf child. A l... Sun, Oct 27 2019 New UI hearing aid technology allows users to connect to...
At The Rim Despite silly statements like these! “We are happy living without the sense of sound. Not all deaf or hard of hearing people are the same,” All HoH are. YOU aren't HoH, you are deaf and don't even use them, you are also unauthorised to offer comment too. Do we tell you how to sign?
