I wonder if the problems with the current BiBi programs is not enough children get a first start in those programs? The majority of children enter these programs after using different approaches, especially the oral-only approach, only to struggle with them and then put in the BiBi programs. That would make doing a study difficult if that problem is widespread due to the language delays of the children?
I know that our program needs more children to start with acquiring ASL first and then learning English as a 2nd language but unfortunately, we get many students who learn ASL after the formative years of language development has passed so we have a very unique population of students. I think The Learning Center in Mass has a great BiBi program.
