Signing Time is great. Also, http://signitasl.com/ has lessons for families of children with hearing loss.

I am not implying any such thing. You are projecting your insecurities onto my words.

Yes, it is far more complex than teaching speech. That is why that isn't what we do. We teach receptive and expressive vocabulary, complex language, syntax, pragmatics, audition, speech, academics, social skills, and self-advocacy.

There is nothing contradictory about anything I have said. Just because I currently work in a school that uses listening and spoken language does not mean that I don't understand that other placements are important for other students. I have been saying that exact thing from the beginning.

I have no idea who you are talking about, and yes it is creepy that you think you need to research who I am. You have made insane claims about following me on Facebook and about posts I have made here and other places. You need to seek professional help. I have been nothing but upfront about who...

I do listen. I also listen to the three deaf adults I have worked with who chose to teach listening and spoken language to children. I listen to the hundreds of adults who grew up using spoken language and are happy. I listen to the four deaf audiologists I know, including the one teaching a...

I didn't say that at all.

I also said that. I have not said anything about people needing to "think like hearing people" which is what you claim.

I didn't say that. I said that I teach my students to listen, talk, read and think. I am sure there are brilliant students at MSSD.

You are successful because you worked hard. You are bright and extremely successful. You were given language that was accessible and taught to read, write and think. That is exactly what I think everyone wants for every student with hearing loss.

What? You think that I should tell you my name and where I work? You really are crazy. I'm not contradicting myself at all. I have been very clear about my education and experience. You don't like it so you so you're trying to insult me and diminish my expertise. I'm not remotely perfect. There...

Are you nuts? I think it is creepy that you tried to research which programs matched my description. However, I'm not in Missouri.

I know that the research shows that children with hearing loss are, on average, not reaching the same academic, educational, and literacy outcomes as the population that does not have hearing loss. That does not mean that ASL is inferior and that also does not make people with hearing loss inferior.

No, I never said I was ever in Missouri. You don't know me and you certainly don't know where I have worked.

No I wasn't. As I challenged you earlier, show me where I have said anything different and I will cancel my account.

What I said was that I don't know and have never used any version of Signed English. I don't know SEE1 or SEE2. I have absolutely no desire to give you my first and last name or my phone number for obvious reasons.

The number is closer to 95% of deaf children are born to hearing parents, but no, that person should not have been nasty and they certainly shouldn't have bad mouthed ASL. ASL is a complete language that is 100% accessible to children with all levels hearing. There are some children with...

I am so sorry that happened to you. As a sexual assault survivor as well, I know that this is far too commonplace and that both men and women have been victimized in a variety of situations. I hope you have been able to seek out help and support and that you have found peace.

I have never said that Deaf schools aren't an appropriate placement for some kids. I have repeatedly stated that we need to have a continuum of placements and services for all students so that they can have their individual needs met.

I know exactly that. That was the entire point of my examples. Deafdyke said that her two stories of deaf men using prostitutes showed that people who use listening and spoken language are socially stunted. I said that two examples show no such thing. I then stated that I have had students with...
