Of course..that's why I believe in both oral/ASL programs. Our program offers comprehensive speech classes for those who benefit from them. Why not?

Having good/decent speech a good skill to have but in my opinion, it shouldnt be the only thing that a deaf person needs to rely on especially in the educational setting. Too many risks for missing out in the classroom. Makes me nervous.
