If Total Communication program uses sign language, voice, fingerspelling and lipreading then how can that not be possible? Even if a child who cannot communicate orally gets additional support from signs and vice versa.

The point of ASL is giving ALL equal access to language and equal access to the subjects being taught. Those who have oral skills are put in a group for spoken language instructions.
Humm..just spilting them in groups would just solve that problem? It's like putting all black in one group and all white in another group. I just don't see any equal access in that program.
