Hello,
As many of you know, I am a BIG proponent of bilingual education among the Deaf. My parents and I have been discussing and we have decided to let me go to Ohio School for the Deaf (OSD) and live in the dorms, and I would go home on the weekends (sometimes, depends on gas). ANYWAY...
I am just concerned that if I go I want it to be true voice-off ASL. Though English is my first language, ASL is easier for me to pick apart, not to mention it keeps me engaged I *really* want to go to Indiana SD, but my parents are adamant about not giving up their guardianship, even if the people to whom I am entrusted are relatives. So...OSD is the only option. We can't afford St. Rita's and I really don't like some of the teachers.
So...is OSD truly voice-off ASL? From a first-hand experience? I should be going up soon but I am just curious......
