Well FRIEND me then!

Well educated according to who? Simply b/c someone gets a degree doesn't mean they're smart or that they can think

Are you still on FB?

Do you have familial atresia/stenosis?

Did you cut and paste that from the AG Bell site? It sounds EXACTLY like you did......and the point being is that if ASL was promoted as "your kid can be BILINGAL" you'd see very few parents opting for a monoglot approach.....and you're so deep into oral theory you don't see that it's ABELIST...

You mean the BIASED adults who subscribe to a VERY biased philosopy or who were brainwashed by parents to think they were better educated then kids who also Sign or attend a deaf school/program?

OMG!!! Welcome back...and I hope you get out soon. I've missed you!

Um no It's not. Would parents chose speech only if it wasn't promoted via inspiration porn and ablelist langague? B/c it IS!

The 'adults?" Which ones? The ones who promote inspiration porn to manipulate the feelings of vulnarable parents into chosing an approach simply b/c it's presented as "more normal?" You cannot even RECONIZE the bias b/c you're so devoted to a particular approach!

Do you not understand the hard in the hard of hearing?!?!? Are you just parroting the AG Bell line? Speech only will only ever offer PARTIAL access to the hearing world. People like you take the "I'm glad I can talk and hear" line and IGNORE or brush under the rug the social emoitional and...

Well what is so wrong with giving a COMPREHENSIVE approach with both speech and Sign so there's no bias?!?! Easy, simple. Be childcentered and offer EVERYTHING!

For class you could just use an FM!

Is this mainstream? I get it. Georgia tends to place their maimstream dhh kids into sped. Are you hooked up with https://www.gsdweb.org/ and https://www.aasdweb.com/ You MAY have to take the plunge and sue for a place at http://www3.gallaudet.edu/mssd.html Get her OUT of the mainstream! Is...

Oh GAWD the "person first" language thing is DUMB! ALL a disabilty is, is a DESCRIPTOR. There's no handwringing over other descriptors like gay, redheaded, lefthanded etc. Just call me DEAF. That's what I am! Mental gymnastics with language makesit sound like there's something wrong with being...

Why is it jarring? Its simply describing the population it serves.

No, it isn't but even an AUDI will tell you that functioning exactly like a hearing person with a CI is rare, even for a late deafened person. Otherwise why all the ALDs etc? Its not an attack on you and people will still use and investigate CIs even if they aren't marketed as exactly like...

The MAJORITY including virtually ALL born/early dhh function as HOH with CI. There may be superstars but again if the CI gives "normal" hearing levels, then why does HLAA promote usage of ALDs? Also do you use closed captioned? Do you have difficulty in noise? Even unilateral dhh people do.....

There's NO device that will allow you to "enter the hearing world" Even the best users of devices still need closed captioned, FMs and other ALDs. HOH is NOT hearing!

The old days!

Are you on FB?What about local deaf events? Also get to KNOW girls as FRIENDS and see where it goes from there!
