I agree with you but nancy stated: "How are you my name is nancy..hearing woman and seeking for a deaf man for longterm relationship..Am sending you this to show my interest in you."
So it is obvious her reasons for being in AD.
This purpose would be to give your little one access to language. Right now, he is probably not getting anything unless you sign to him. A deaf mentor would help.
I just thought of something interesting...
In some ways, I think it is ok for Deaf people to prefer dating Deaf people over hearing people because of communication issues. However, I think it is a bit over the top if hearing people aim to seek for a deaf parnter? Am I being a hypocrite? :hmm:
Caroline...brace yourself for what I am about to share...
AVT is an approach to teach deaf and hard of hearing individuals to "maximize the use of their hearing abilities." They cover their mouths while they teach them listening skills. They are against using visual cues or communication...
I am a little confused but maybe that is because I am Canadian and we have a different system here. In Canada, one cannot interpret until he/she has completed the Interpreter Training Program. It is my feeling that if you are serious about interpreting, you would want to do your best. So why not...
