I have read some real horror stories of how oral schools treated deaf kids in the past. I cannot imagine being put through some of the things that the students had to do.
I was reading the summer issue of Sound Effects on line today. Sound Effects is the school paper for Central Institute for the Deaf. I read an article about called "Introducing the new auditory oral preschool". As I was reading this, I beagan thingking of all the stories I had heard about oral ed. in the past. I then thought some here may take a little comfort in the philosophy of modern oral deaf ad, and the changes that have taken place. I do realize that they do not openly teach sign, but you must understand that they dont tell parents not to teach it. I was actually encouraged to teach Lilly sign. Theysay, as long as the emphasis is on speech, you can teach them anything you want.
There is another very good article about modern teaching in oral schools on the next page called "the whole child and the community"
BTW, if you are interested, the is a small picture of Lilly and I on page 3. it is next to the article about the St.Louis symphony coming to and playing at CID. It is the top left pic. She is sitting on my lap, while listening to the orchestra play a peice of music written specifically for the students at CID, they wrote a musical story for deaf kids.
