Oh, and the research from our school says that kids with hearing loss who start with us by 18 months, in fact, do not have spoken language delays. They catch up before age three and stay caught up. We measured expressive and receptive vocabulary as well as semantics, syntax, pragmatics and...

I am very familiar with how to read the research, thanks. You don't get through grad school and into a doctorate program without many classes on research. If you have methodology issues with her research, I would be glad to hear them. How about the LOCHI study in Australia? That is a population...

No, I think that some people with hearing loss use ASL, some use Cued Speech, some use signed English and some listen and speak.

No, I'm saying that at our school we specialize in one thing, other schools specialize in other methods. Listening and spoken language does work. I see it every single day. The research shows that students who use listening and spoken language outperform those who don't. Does that mean that all...

I have never said anything about English being superior to ASL. I have also said repeatedly that I do not know or use, nor have I ever, any version of signed English. As for my supervisor, my school's policy for language use is very specific. We use spoken language, through listening so that our...

And my BA is in Deaf Education and my MS is in Deaf Education. I hold teaching licensure in two states in Deaf Education birth to 21, as well as being a developmental therapist-hearing (Early Intervention provider) and am certified by the Council on the Education of the Deaf. I am also currently...

You keep making sweeping statements with absolutely nothing to back them up. Show me the research that says the things you are claiming. Nearly all children with hearing loss can be aided (hearing aid or CI) to well within the spoken language "speech banana". Profound loss to mild, they can...

SEE is a visual form of English. I do not know or use either version of SEE. I simply said it is a complete language because that language is English. English can be acquired as a deaf child's L1, either through listening, Cued Speech or spoken language paired with a signed version of English. I...

There is grammar and syntax in SEE, it is the grammar and syntax of English. That is why it includes the morphemes like -ing, -s, and so on. BTW, I don't use SEE, never have, don't particularly advocate for it, I just think that information should be factually correct when shared.

That is because it is meant to be used in conjunction with spoken an written English. Do you have any research that shows that SEE (1 or 2) is not processed as a language in the brain? I have not see that information.

Congenital CMV, ototoxic medication, a not yet discovered recessive gene.

SEE is English. English, signed or spoken can be naturally acquired by children with hearing loss. It happens every day. Unfortunately, it takes three to five years to become fluent in a new language, regardless of who comes to your home to teach it to you. That means that parents will not be...

Also, I don't accept the premise that somehow 90% of students at these schools are scoring below proficient on the standardized test for math and reading but are secret geniuses. Also, that article is comparing early ASL users to late ASL users. Yes, if you are delayed in getting a first...

The problem with bi-bi education specifically with children who are deaf is that you are not using the home language and then teaching the language of the majority as a second language. With cultural and linguistic minority families, they already have fluency in the first language and are able...

I have not seen any research that says that a bi-bi works better, I would love to see the research you have seen. I am not deaf. It looks like the graduation rate is only 60% at RMDS and only 10% of students are proficient in math and reading. At CSDB it is slightly better at 12.5% in reading.

Bilingual Bicultural education has not been proven to be "the best way" to teach deaf children. Each child has different needs and there are many great ways to educate children. Many children have been very successful using SEE. I'm sorry that you struggled with it and it was not an appropriate...

I was just in Denver this weekend at the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (E.H.D.I.) conference. It was a beautiful area.

Just sharing an article that floated across my feed this week.
