JClarke, diabolical ideas you have there! You should write those ideas in a letter to this so-called expert
On a serious note, I'm contemplating writing a letter to this Estabrooks and take him to task for his comments such as those:
“Today, with all the available hearing devices and technology, there is no need for our children to remain deaf,’’ he told this news paper. And, implementing the auditory verbal approach could be the first option for these children to relieve themselves from dumbness, he added.
Instructions in lip reading or sign language will hinder the emergence of normal speech and language in the child, he added.
You all should do this, too. I wonder how can this get out on DeafRead?
