    Support for the Cochlear Implant, and its opposite

    Imagine in the future, a parent is told that their new baby is deaf. The parent is given 2 options. First, the parents can learn a second language, send the child to a special school, join a new culture, and possibly provide special training to the child so the child can speak and lip read...

    Support for the Cochlear Implant, and its opposite

    I hope you are right deafdyke, but I've just read too much science fiction. Technology will improve. The success rate will improve. Because, medically there are several problems with the body that would cause deafness and HOH. The problem is with the ear, the nerves, or lack of brain...

    Support for the Cochlear Implant, and its opposite

    I believe within 20 years, there will exist a hearing replacement device that will be equal to the ear or even superior. When a child gets this device as an infant, they will not require any rehabilitation. They will learn to use this device the same as any other child learns to use their...

    Support for the Cochlear Implant, and its opposite

    In this argument, you must start with the FACT that there is nothing wrong with being hearing or being deaf. A deaf child is of equal value as a hearing child. So why is there any controversy? Hearing or deaf, if the child is part of a healthy loving family that child is not being harmed...

    Support for the Cochlear Implant, and its opposite

    Personally, I think hearing should have hearing children. They are ill prepared to raise deaf children. They view deaf children as tragic. More often than not, they succeed in raising handicapped hearing, not deaf. But to be fair, there are great success stories: from the parents who learn ASL...

    Learn Sign Writing with Card Games

    One of the major reasons to write in ASL is so that other people can read it. Reading and writing are very important. Face to face is not always possible. And a video does not have the same power as the written sign. For a few examples... You could write about the Protest at Gallaudet...

    Learn Sign Writing with Card Games

    Hi, I'm back to talk about Sign Writing. Many people consider Sign Writing to be too complicated or a waste of time. If an adult can read and write English, why learn to read and write ASL. The problem is that Sign Writing will only be used when it is used. And Sign Writing will never be...

    Hypocritical?

    Exactly the question. I believe written will be the easiest way for Deaf to learn English. In theory, a Deaf child could be educated in ASL, then switched over to English half way through to complete their education. How old would a Deaf child need to be before that child could understand...
