Bahl is being unreasonable when it comes to accepting reasonable accommodations.<BR/><BR/>Take it or leave it, but dont fight it.OCDAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746602479574653008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119285562600371392.post-30830748195221474332008-08-25T06:32:00.000-04:002008-08-25T06:32:00.000-04:00I am in the middle of discussion about this in the...I am in the middle of discussion about this in the UK, Regarding reasonable accommodations, and should we be forced to use TTY systems ?<BR/><BR/>IN the UK minicoms and such are pretty dated systems, but many adjustments made in the past were for that system, then we had mobile phones/computers/faxes etc and via preference we used what suited us.<BR/><BR/>NOW we get tissues because we don't want to use minicoms or such and the reasonable adjustment ha become Unreasonable because deaf are adapting to new technologies every bit as quick as hearing are,we led the field in some respects in embracing new technologies.<BR/><BR/>They are now saying they cant keep up changing this 'access' to keep pace,what do you think about that ?mervynjames224https://www.blogger.com/profile/06689615164654187617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119285562600371392.post-71681365004211210752008-08-24T16:38:00.001-04:002008-08-24T16:38:00.001-04:00Generally, that would be true, but in many areas, ...Generally, that would be true, but in many areas, the TTY is obsolete and no longer used by most deaf people. <BR/><BR/>If I had been arrested and was offered a TTY, the only contacts I could reach would be hearing people via relay service today. <BR/><BR/>It would depend on the time of day and which day, because at night and on weekends, most lawyers, bondsmen, workplaces, doctors and ministers would be closed. <BR/><BR/>Ever try to use TTY relay to reach a videophone relay to reach a deaf person? It can't be done.<BR/><BR/>I see no abuse or attempts to get rich here. Just another critical gap in the service network we all experience.Dianrezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077219189139398901noreply@blogger.com
