I was reading "Through Deaf Eyes" (I hope I got that right) at my work's library while my students were in library class. There was one quote from one deaf woman about growing up oral. She said that by speaking so well, it gave people the false impression that she doesnt need visual cues so she was denied them and suffered greatly. According to her, because of her experiences growing up oral only, she refuses to use her speech skills again.
