????????? Wow it s so unbelievable. My concern is about the Hearing Dog's law. I dont want to see anybody to abuse it. I dont believe every d/Deaf person needs that because they love dogs. I dont think it s fair for d/Deaf people s need that needs to be done.
I can understand some d/Deaf people have a hearing dog for a very good reason that I can respect very much. Thats their needs. I have no problem with it and dont want to take it away from them.
Okay now, do they provide a very low income d/Deaf people?? I dont think so. It s not a good idea for them to have it unless it is real NECESSARY to have a hearing dog because of $$$$.
Thats what it makes harder to get the law for d/Deaf 's right. You have to remember ADA does not apply for d/Deaf people in many ways.. There are too many getting away with it from those people who have a negative view about the deafness for years and years. So therefore it s no good ADA for us for many reasons. Oh well! open your eyes and think twice before you are saying. The problem is that deafies with negative audist attitude make people thinks u are functionally hearing while you are legally deaf.. Oh Please!! Thats very bigotry attitude toward deafies.
Okay here is my question: So what do you think every parents are doing it for their d/Deaf children who wants a dog? I feel that it s something not right about it.
Number one: Force d/Deaf children to have the HA or CI device and orally speaking that destroy our Deaf adaption from their very early age. So they cannot be deaf as well as it is for a wrong reason.
Number two: Now you are saying HA is not helping some d/Deaf children then created a new device CI. It doesnt even help much anyhow they are legally deaf and capable to hear the sounds like a Hearing aid with a different level sound to gain. Whoppee doo!!! Whats more!!! You think it s the best thing to have oral method only then prove it to me. If so then why would you need a hearing dog while you have hearing aid or CI? I can understand for those people with Ha or CI who have their vision problems that is important for them to have a hearing dog. Thats a very reasonable necessary to have it for them.
Now you want extra aides to have a hearing dog because somebody love a dog. ***Stratch my head** and says whats the heck going on!!! You are asking too much or being so greedy to get everything you want not needs while you have your own CI or HA equipments or Deaf accessories in your home that should be able to help you with Hearing people in many ways but it isnt necessary as far as I know it so. What about us Deaf Needs to have the natural method that works so well for our natural Deaf adaptions? I just dont understand it anymore. What do you want more from us now?
I am Deaf without Hearing Aid device and doesnt need a dog because I am not helpless as those people put us down for what we can do with ASL. I am a natural legally deaf and finally found ASL works for me to understand better and capable to express my true inner soul, mind, and body with between Hearing and Deaf people. It s way much better than your own gutter artificial sign language by hearing and deaf oralism created it and doesnt really accept you for who you are from the start. That gives u a mixed message that you cannot able to do it because you are legally deaf. AND They are making a big $$$$$$$ to conform you and trying to manupilate you for not who we are or what we are.
If I want a typical dog, I ll make sure he knows what I use their good instinct by natural method not trying to control dog's life. Discipline only that I would have done it. Thats not how I treat people like that. Thats what it gives me impression that negative people influenced others how they think it has to be this way while it s very offensive for me. I just dont feel too comfortable about everything for what people s prejudice or discrimination affects us like that. It needs to be stop this abusive going on for years and years.
When will we get the better relationship between Hearing and Deaf? NO more on one sided.
Thats how I get the impression to destroy our d/Deaf children 's true identity and our true language in our American Sign Language to eliminate the term "DEAF" and our hands that makes a huge difference between Hearing and Deaf people with a good attitude.
ASL and Signed English combines altogether as equal that helps us deafies and d/Deaf Blind with their brialle code. You think ASL makes us not to speak our d/Deaf voices. I find this is a real outrageous for you to think that way. I will say it s good to have oral speaking with ASL because it s from word to word that we can understand it better. Thats our oral method survival kit that we need to have the encouragement of fun things to learn which is fine with me but force or conform or manipulate us into a hearing person that is out of the question. Does it makes sense to you? Dont expect us to hear like a hearing people can normally hear or speak well or read their kind of different lip movements 100 percent. Face the Deaf Reality!
I did it all you gave me those tools all those years but I never got ASL in the classrooms if you mind.. I did the best I could do since I was being forced to do this and that with too many artificial languages that does NOT make me understand everything in ENGLISH 100 percent or understand the concept of english language fully. Thats what you did it to me. I have done the best I can do for myself not for you.
I am very discouraged people are abusing d/Deaf children way too much for years and years.. IT NEEDS TO BE STOP. Get on with the natural method of ASL and enjoy with A LOVE and BOND between parents and d/Deaf children that is the most important thing in our life. It is way much better than having all those artificial languages.. Thats our Deaf adaption that it should allow their children to have that chance to be themselves as a Deaf kid first. Sighs! People are hurting you with your own struggles. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior patttern that continue until todays from the past years. So therefore you dont need a hearing dog. That gives me the impression, thats how I see it.
It s all about ATTITUDE AND GREEDY MONEY so they treat us like a puppet that I dont like the feelings at all.
Thats how I am seeing this all over place. I know Truth hurts because I want to stop this crap going on or give too many mixed messages toward d/Deaf children NOW. Ahem! I thought you are not disabled for being deaf.
Hearing Blind and Deaf blind or Vision impairment people does need dogs to quide them when they are independent. It makes sense for a dog to be training for d/Deaf blind's needs.
:sure: :sure: Are you telling me that I am not independent because I m legally deaf with no vision problem and no hearing aid.? I am too confused to listen your opinions.
for your time to read it.
Sweetmind
SO AM I if you mind and I dont need ur help. I m not here to point anybody but I am saying what I see in a real life. I can respect people who have a hearing dog but it s not necessary in some ways.
