Wow! I couldnt have said it better! I have tried explaining that over and over again to so many parents here who are against ASL but they say ASL is not needed, ASL is too hard to learn, or ASL will intervere with spoken language skills. One excuse after another.
I had such a hard time growing up without full acess to language since ASL was denied to me. I was always left out, misunderstanding people, and so many more.
