Amen, Brother.......HH

Shel90, They are to be commended, especially IF they are providing an equal education to their "clients" as is being attempted (half-heartedly) to the hearing students. All education is in deep DOO-DOO these days. Tons of money are wasted on programs with no evidence of educating. That goes...

Henceforth, I shall post but I will ignore your corrupted mindset. It deserve only silence and I bet that really disturbs your lapses in your synapses. HH

No mind over matter, Solamente or solomente is correct.

To dispel the "mystery" surrounding Hammond Ham... FYI, I am NOT a college graduate, I am not a high school graduate and I doubt that most college "grad-u-ates" do not have any higher IQ than do I. I have over 40 years in working with and raising deaf and HoH children. My success rate is not...

Over heated and out of control! Your location shows to be a "swamp"....Maybe more aptly stated as a "morass". I am not overly impressed with "academics" or "professors" who Know everything about something or nothing. Be assured, as long as the blogs remain genteel and polite, inasmuch as is...

Food for thought (IF one can think)...... Babies are born with no language, PERIOD. Babies acquire any language from their parents, siblings and the society in which they live. Babies DO NOT have a say as to what their primary language will/should be. Parents make decisions for their...

If, as you claim, to have been raised with ASL and you "turned out all right" (I would agree) then why do you need me to supply the data and research when it is available in books, in reports and on the Internet? I challenge you to do your own research, answer your own questions, then let's...

Then you have been richly blessed. Not many have ascended to your level of English fluency. My only gripe is that, overall, deaf ed has been an academic failure, a failure at educating, a failure in benefits. While you have your independence, able to live and work in a predominately hearing...

Madam, I was taught to not argue with a foolish person. You seem to qualify as being a product of a long failed, educationally incestuous, self serving, head-in-the-sand, academic (so called) philosophy that has bought into the same old barf, regurgitated for over 100 years, concerning all...

I notice that the SEE2 materials from the S.E.E. Center was last updated in August 2009. Are there later updates? Is there an on-line dictionary? Twenty years back, Gerilee Gustafson was at Gallaudet, but she is no longer listed as an employee or as an associate with Gally. Is she still alive or...

Another great story/joke.....Hammond Ham

This was shared with me by David Anthony, instigator of the SEE1 signs. Two brothers, one (DB) is deaf, sitting on a train going from London to Southampton. The hearing (HB) brother is sitting in the aisle seat, the deaf brother by the train window. Across the aisle from the HB sits an...

Madam, I fear that you have been misinformed as to the ability for (even) babies to acquire language (any language). In our society, English is the most common mode of verbal communications while ASL (great as it may be) is self limiting and accounts for the dismal failure of academia to instill...

OK, here is some information to assist you with SEE1 signs. Just keep in mind that there are 2, competing(?) SEE sign systems. SEE1 (Seeing Essential English/Morpheme Sign System) als David Anthony and SEE2, Signing Exact English, ala Guftason(?). SEE1 has a lot of information available at...

Thank you. Sadly my wife and I divorced several years back, but we stay in contact. I wish to complement you on your use of English. My limited experience with the deaf is only about 40 years. In that time I have dealt with most deaf issues, sign systems . CIs, HAs and other, sometimes...

Some, hands on, thoughts about CIs On the POSITIVE side: Generally speaking, the earlier the patient in implanted, hopefully before age 2, the better the CI works. In post lingual patients, most report the regaining of their failed hearing, but (remember) they have had the benefit of auditory...

To JIRO Yes, its STILL COMMUNICATABLE.....de K5ZYZ

Gestuno? Look at Wikipedia.......No wonder few people ever see it being practiced with its "limited" vocabulary. Where does one go to learn it? Can you identify its authorship? In today's modern, scientific world, I feel it has met its match and will s-l-o-w-l-y fade into disuse and be...

Cjb Wanna bet I can sign it faster than you can fingerspell it AND I can spell it in Morse code, too.? de K5ZYZ
