Hmmmmm............I wonder if the program might be sending negative vibes about the use of ASL? He may also not realize that "check it out...ASL means I can talk without having to use hearing aids!"
He is on the cusp of when social emotional things get hard.....like a lot of oral kids do well intially, and then they realize "oh oral only is hard...need ASL too."
ASL is awesome for the social emotional as well as all kinds of higher emotional development. Just have him turn off his hearing aids, or put him in a noisy room....and then he may "click"
