At The Rim One way to preserve support setups is to cease the over specialisation on particular modes, there are many deaf people who don't sign, many many others with hearing loss and needing alternatives, this suggests if a collective approach to support was in operation, areas would be more likely to fund that approach, mainly because sign is so minor an area regular help...

Yes we are ALL racist, and all manner of 'ists', 'ism's', and 'ics' too, most is fuelled by diversity demand and human nature. Is this inherently bad, or just the way we are?

At The Rim Warning, (Paddy Ladd alert). A real eye-opener into the chaotic working of the UK's premier sign language and culture-based charity. With the first 42 mins a total blank screen and silence, and the incoherent rambling of the architect of Deafhood, who needed translation himself trying to fly a very limp flag of UK deaf culture there.

Mon, Feb 11 2019 Still unemployed after 1,000 rejections... Why? At The Rim Why do we feel there HAS to be more to this than the applicant being deaf? ATR took ANY job rather than be unemployed, including stacking shelves in a supermarket and cleaning the road, why can't she?

Mon, Feb 11 2019 To Emoji or not, why the question? At The Rim Would we or disabled USE them? The concept doesn't appear to relate to inclusion in a real sense, just another tier of 'labelling' to add to the plethora of stereotypes we already see (Like the deaf obsession with hands, and the wheelchair logo). Adding different icons to ID individual issues is getting ridiculous. It all plays into the 'diversity' thing that ... Sun, Feb 10 2019 Good Neighbours.

By an area that offers no captioning access, subtitling access, or narrative and relies on sign for it.

Tue, Feb 05 2019 SEE HEAR Backlash at ATR At The Rim The ailing BBC/UK Deaf program feedback slot angry at ATR's suggestion BSL use is unhelpful for some deaf children.

They ... Tue, Feb 05 2019 Parents forced to pay £6,000 to learn to BSL. At The Rim The huge costs of teaching sign language, not only to children but their parents. Why doesn't the welsh BDA help them? They appear advocates of sign and culture but unwilling to help the parents with a deaf child unless they get paid too.

At The Rim What is Auditory Verbal Therapy from Hype Pinay Mom on Vimeo. Mon, Feb 04 2019 By George (I think she's got it!). At The Rim Not!! Far easier would be to simply NOT draw any attention to whatever 'issue' they have and address them the same as everyone else and treat them the same, this is just creating and cementing labels. A rose by any other name is still a rose. Mon, Feb 04 2019 Deaf Children need English. At The Rim Undeniable proof English is the primary way forward for the deaf. What is suprising are claims it wasn't being used to edcuate our deaf children, what on earth have they been educating these kids with? A millstone? It's time these linguistic isolationists considered the futures of deaf children. Whose bright idea was it to invent an alternative that would j... Mon, Feb 04 2019 Dear Diary... At The Rim An 11-year-old girl who is profoundly deaf has shared her diary, giving a moving insight into her world and the difficulties she faces every day.

She was approached by the Deaf Children's Society to front a cam... Mon, Feb 04 2019 Deaf man sued for captions 100 times. At The Rim While it is great to see systems sued for lack of captioning access, why no class actions against online refusals to caption? Because it would mean suing ASL output? Is lack of access to ASL output against the law too? A deaf man who has sued more than a hundred companies under the Americans with Disabilities Act has made Consumer Reports Inc. his latest target. c... Fri, Feb 01 2019 The hashtag has landed. At The Rim Let us hope they can address the 'All deaf use sign language', and 'Deaf & HoH' are the same thing, or even 'The Deaf are not disabled people..' Or is it just another plug, like Deaf are this, and deaf are that? If they want to address misconceptions and plain deliberate misinformation, and biased unawareness, maybe start there before going the mainstream? #timetoad... Fri, Feb 01 2019 How they do it.... At The Rim Standing on the far side of the stage, someone’s hands move swiftly and decisively to words ringing out from the podium at the center. Sometimes they’re recognizable, but to most hearing people, they are a blip in peripheral vision, and rarely thought of. American Sign Language interpreters are doing a hugely important job, particularly when it comes to polit... Fri, Feb 01 2019 Jobsense or Nonsense? At The Rim The recent response to concerns about AOHL financial viability.

At The Rim Family Support Services from Chime on Vimeo. What a shame raising awareness and providing access via subtitling or captioning was not included so we can follow what is being said by this 'Public Information' video.
