Theaters Slowly Becoming More Accessible
Hearing Sparks I have been happy to see that recently movie theaters have been stepping up the game when it comes to accessibility in my area. I have a feeling this has to do with some recent lawsuits - and with companies realizing they need to make accommodations. I wanted to take a moment to talk about Captionfish as a great resource when it comes to finding accessible, captioned ...

UK Deaf Week
At The Rim Another damp squib ? It would appear the last 8 years few if any deaf have taken even a partial interest in it, with the BDA and HI community running 'different' weeks to accommodate their 'own' sectors, despite deafness and loss not being defined to either one of them.When asked why deaf people were apathetic even to raising awareness of their own nee...

Welsh NHS puts deaf at high risk..
Byddar - Cymru There is no health supportive policy at all here in Wales, any right of supportive access to GP's, consultants, hospitals, emergency is an complete lottery and no central area by which you can call upon the support needed. Wales has also started to implement a 'centralisation' of NHS services, this now means you can live in one Primary Care trust area but all ap...

No Signed TV please, we're deaf.
At The Rim I was reading 'Read Hear' today (Which is an text-based weekly update area on British TV), and was unsurprised at comments that a number of people want 'in-vision' sign language removed from late night 'deaf accessible' TV, until an '888' option was available. (The 888 option is a system whereby deaf can turn on/off captions/subtitles on their TV/videos).Indeed,...

Emily Howlett: Hearing people have invisible sign names
The Limping Chicken Sign names. Tricky little blighters, aren’t they? It’s all well and good if your given sign name is something delicious and intriguing; ‘cute’, ‘flower’, ‘eye candy’, or ‘muscles’ for example.
