https://www.asha.org/public/speech/development/language_speech/ What Is Speech? Speech is how we say sounds and words. Speech includes: Articulation How we make speech sounds using the mouth, lips, and tongue. For example, we need to be able to say the “r” sound to say "rabbit" instead of...

I never said that. Never. I said that I teach children to use listening and spoken language so that they have be at the same level as hearing students. I also said that there are teachers who do the same with ASL and with SEE and with cued speech.

No, not every parent wants their child to use spoken language. Many see ASL as the appropriate language for their child with hearing loss. Even more desire both languages.

What part of the picture do you think we are not looking at? The word "speech" means articulation, not spoken language.

I have met families within weeks of their diagnosis. I have several resources that I like to share including: http://ncbegin.org/reference-chart/ and https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osers/products/opening_doors/opening_doors.pdf and...

I cannot speak for other people, but I can tell you that it is absolutely my job to ensure that parents have good, unbiased information so that they can make an appropriate decision.

No, I believe in parents more than that. I believe fundamentally that parents love and know their child better than any stranger ever could. Parents are completely invested. They will be there long after professionals are gone. They have a huge responsibility, but they have nothing but the best...

How exactly is an infant supposed to make an informed decision? We empower parents to make all health and social decisions for their children. They decide the food they eat, the religion they practice, and yes, the language that they use. That is why children have parents. If you believe that...

Only speech? Speech is the articulation of individual phonemes. That is the very least of most people's concern. I would hope what you mean to say is that professionals are worried about a child's achievement in audition, receptive and expressive vocabulary, and expressive and receptive...

I think your perspective is very important. It is horrible that you were never given the access to peers or to your education that you had a right to. Ever student with hearing loss, regardless of methodology has a legal right to access. It could be through a school placement that uses the...

Did you look at the information that the study investigators have shared? I gave it to you several times.

https://www.mydeafchild.org/apply "Sign It" has free lessons for families of children under age 3. http://signitasl.com/

They have not published beyond age 5 yet. The information is all right there https://www.nal.gov.au/project/longitudinal-outcomes-of-children-with-hearing-impairment-lochi-study/ and https://outcomes.nal.gov.au/ You don't need to take my word.

They continue to follow the children. They have only made it to age 5 so far, but the study is on-going and the next data point is age 9. Please read the information before you comment.

No, no, no! They tested the students. They have a battery of tests that they give to the children. It is not a parent reporting how a child is doing. They list the tests they give. "They are tested by our researchers at different times as they grow up. We collect information about the...

Have you bothered to look at what the investigators are saying about the study? They are saying exactly what I am saying. I heard it from Teresa Ching's own mouth.

I am a certified teacher of the deaf. My undergraduate and graduate degrees are both in deaf education. Deaf education was housed in the communication disorders college at my university.

It is not the provider's choice, and there is no one "ideal". It is family choice. Profoundly deaf children can have as good access to spoken language as a child with a mild loss.

There are several listening and spoken language only preparation programs including Mount Saint Mary's, Fontbonne University, Washington University, Utah State University, California Lutheran University, University of Southern Mississippi's Master's program, and University Of Texas San Antonio...

I wish you would bother to educate yourself. In the very first sentence of the study it says that it is a population study. Yes, families have to opt-in, but it is representative of the entire population. It is not disproportionately oral other than the FACT that most families choose spoken...
