The first thing that came to mind was this sexual fetish. Rather odd to post it in the sign language section. :confused:

Pretty impressive. The gains made with technology are amazing... It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out in the future.

LOL. Ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I wouldn't presume to know what goes on in the minds of people. This is why I asked her to post her thoughts, rather than a random post from an author. So, FriskyFeline... What are your thoughts? Or, what was your intention with posting that quote? Taking it at face value, that is a...

Not surprising at all! This is a nice article, thanks for sharing. However some people are reading into things that aren't there as this article is not discussing the Bilingual-Bicultural method. It is discussing the benefits of early exposure to sign language, which many people are in support...

Are you going to elaborate on how you see this quote pertaining to the topic at hand?

Very cool! Who is responsible for the garden? I look forward to seeing pictures as it comes along...

Would you advocate/support a student in the United States to not learn English?

What "pretence"?

In all of that, I'm still not clear on what you perceive me to be wrong about. I have visited many self contained classrooms, and I've been heavily involved in advocating for students for quite some time. I know what I'm talking about. ;)

Absolutely. That doesn't prove anything though. :-) Most people who are posting in opposition are doing it from the standpoint that these students would be mainstreamed all day. The fact is that most would be mainstreamed for only part of the day. In the subjects that they would benefit from...

I can appreciate the fact that you have a different set of opinions and views than me. You might perceive my view as, "a bit off" and that is fine. You are entitled to your opinion. However, my statement was that your understanding of the educational system here is a bit off. In other...

Umm, yes. That's why it's called an IEP. Individualized Education Plan...

Grummer- it seems that you are misunderstanding the way things work in the states. I have no idea how it works where you're from, but here they wouldn't put a person with intellectual challenges who isn't capable in a 12th grade physics class. Often times students with intellectual...

No. It's people like you who FAR FAR underestimate the abilities of children with cognitive challenges and expect them to accomplish nothing but some basic life skills like how to bathe. When you expect nothing, you get nothing in return. It is clear that while no one has come outright and said...

Obviously you didn't read the article.

Familyof4- I'm happy to read your daughter is doing well!

I completely agree with your statement.

Wrong. It is about the quality, yes. It is also about the "quantity". Perhaps you can go back and do some more research on the subject to understand it better, so that you don't do a disservice to the DHH children whose parents might read this forum. I never said it's the end of the world...

FYI, your assumptions and assertions are incorrect and faulty.
