I just told you their primary language was ASL no others were introduced to them, even their parents signs better than I've seen most hearing parents would sign. It can't be in TC because TC are in public schools. I would have to ask what program they were in, all I know is that they grew up in a deaf residential schools.
My brother works in a Deaf school and it is a TC program. He is studying for his Master's degree in the BiBi philosophy and he told me that there is no way that his place of employment is using a BiBi approach. Even in their handbook, they identified themselves as a TC program. BTW, he told me that AZ doesnt accept the BiBi philosophy for the public educational setting..same thing with California. Good question would be is that ...how many other states forbid BiBi education. Problem is that they are referring to the Spanish speaking population and forgot about the deaf/hoh population. Spanish-speaking hearing children can hear so therefore, they have full access to spoken English while deaf children dont so how is that fair...
Anyways...TC are not just in public schools only.. they are also in Deaf schools too. There are also oral deaf schools too.
