My bad, 41 years.
Small group.....almost nonextistent. Their numbers are miniscule comapred to the deaf population as a whole.
Why,then are so many deaf children stillsuffering from language deprivation, and why is the issue of literacy in deaf children continuing to be a focus?
You are assumingthat AVT is the only method used to promote communication skills in the deaf implanted child. That is far from the case. It is used as a tool, (please re-read all of your submitted articles), to assist an orally based deaf individual in removing the ambiguity from speech reading.
What world did that history of literacy and language and inclusion occur in? Certainly not this one.
