I'm so lost with words, I supposed I'm the only one who believes that all deaf children should learn both signs and speech, everything as possible, while some of you want to limited their rights. How sad.
U are saying speech as in the deaf child learning how to speak? If so, there is nothing wrong with that. What we are talking about is the deaf child being taught lesson by the teachers using speech. That is a different skill and different situation.

Have u had any experience working in different Deaf ed programs as a volunteer, as a teacher or as an aide?
