Those who use SEE do so because it supposedly models spoken language. Therefore the use of SEE indicates a priority in spoken language is inherent in the choice.
As a SEE user, I would disagree with your statement. I wanted to use a "whole toolbox approach" in order to provide him the opportunity to develop speech if it was going to be a possibility. Not because it was a priority.
The most important years of speech and language acquisition occur from birth to five. By using a "whole tool box approach"/Total Communication he was provided access to English to develop fluency in it. He has developed great speech and language, but speech was not the priority.
Being able to effectively communicate was our number one priority.
