For a long time some would say that ASL will fail the deaf children because signs itself has no spoken language it has no written form only that it has its own syntax, that's when oral came in, because deaf people did not have any speech skills they call them deaf-mute. I never thought it was right to cut ASL out.

Come to think of it the only counties did not opposed signs were the United States.
It was just not being use often since oral came in better.

Each program has various of ways that each individual can communicate. The only reason I choose TC because it had everything, more than what oral method had to offer.

Bi Bi is just not well known, it will take couple more years to show the studies of the improvement of deaf children's literacy. TC, Oral and Cued Speech has been around for a long time, and there's some flaws in each metholdology but it is not too bad or far the worse.
