P713 CEEFAX 713 Thu 13 Jan 21:11/03 READHEAR WRITE HEAR 1/6 FROM MRS N GIBBS OF BECKENHAM "I am afraid I disagree with most of the comments in Write Hear about the See Hear disability debate. "Perhaps the programme was not wise to include the hearing wheelchair users in the debate — we did not mean to hurt their feelings. "I have been profoundly deaf since birth and wheelchair-bound for over a year." cont...Community Pages 720 Environment 730Religious World 740 User Guide 198Subtitles CmntyInfo Envir'nmt Religion
P713 CEEFAX 713 Thu 13 Jan 21:11/53 READHEAR WRITE HEAR 2/6 FROM MRS N GIBBS OF BECKENHAM "Personally, I think deaf people should be classified as 'DEAF'. "They are able-bodied and can lead independent lives while disabled people are not able-bodied and often need help. "I myself think being wheelchair- bound is a greater disability than deafness. "I used to be very independent but now have to rely on my husband for everything and I get frustrated at times!" Subtitles CmntyInfo Envir'nmt Religion

"We lack the American pioneering spirit and individuality and we are historically stuck in hierarchies. "But as a point of interest, the cornerstone of the Act — which could be seen generally as an ideology — was the term 'barrier- free design'." cont...Religious World 740 User Guide 198Subtitles CmntyInfo Envir'nmt Religion
P713 CEEFAX 713 Thu 13 Jan 21:52/19 READHEAR WRITE HEAR 4/6 FROM CAROL COOPER OF SOUTHPORT "Anything designed, from a building to a pamphlet, had to be accessible to ALL disabled users. "With certain limitations and guidelines, the law forced people to cater for ALL disabled people. "In the deaf sphere, compulsory textphones in a workplace of over 20 people is an example. "The RNID's Louder than Words Campaign is a good example regarding access, but like the 3% quota it is not legally obligatory. Subtitles CmntyInfo Envir'nmt Religion

"Disabled, handicapped, whatever, we have LOST a vital facility, our hearing. "We needs all means, mechanical and human, to help us in the combat of going on living in this (naturally) geared-to-hearing world."

"It is good to see that the DBC is not resting on its laurels and is continuing to push for greater access to TV. "I was particularly impressed with the range of speakers from the deaf, deafened and hard-of-hearing world invited, as this should show broadcasters that in THIS instance we generally have the same needs."
