BiBi programs not working for some children?
Hey Jillo...I was thinking of the title of this thread on how one size does not fit all.
We know that the oral-only, TC, and CS doesnt fit all. These approaches work for some while they dont work for others. Many people keep saying that the parents have to be diligent about watching signs for a particular programs success or failure for the child. Ok, that is a great idea but unfortunately it is not a reality for all parents because many parents dont understand the educational system itself let alone deafness.
What about the BiBi approach? Has there ever been cases where a child became language deprived and delayed from the BiBi approach? AS far as my experiences with the BiBi approach, that didnt happen. What about in your experience?
If it shouldnt work for a child, why would that be since language is already fully accessible to the child, speech programs are available, direct communication with peers and teachers, and a curriculm modified to meet their visual needs? Since some of you are saying that the BiBi approach is not for everyone...can u care to elaborate on how is that?
I am just pondering of what would cause the BiBi approach be a failure for children. I am just having a hard time seeing it because all the resources are available.
