Yea, the bibi movement didnt occur until around 1993 with one or two Deaf schools adopting it and then since then, it has slowly spread around because so many schools are resistant to change.
Right now, PDSD (Phx Day School for the Deaf) is at war with the parents because the parents want a whole revamp and have it change to BiBi program but the adminstrators who are hearing are reluntant to change. It is a huge battle right now but I know the parents will win...
