Then why do you sound exactly like a previous poster? Why don't you at least give some details about who you are?

That is b/c the MAJORITY of kids with hearing loss are oral and mainstreamed. There you have it again. You're implying that Sign INHIBITS progress towards those outcomes

I KNOW. Its so much more complex then just getting the child speech skilled and with HOH level functioning. Honestly I think students who are strongly academic, should be able to have a once a week TOD GROUP time where dhh kids from a particular area come together at a central location. I'm in...

No, of course not. But you DO strongly come across as EXTREMELY contraditory, and you don't even RECONIZE the vibe do you?!?!?!?!

Not now, no. You're in a different state now of course. This wasn't about your program that you TAUGHT in! . I'm not interested in confirming details about a program you worked in. However, you said that you had referred a girl to the state res school. You gave identifiying details as to the...

One of my friends grew up TC. She ended up being accepted by YALE. She decided to go to Gally, and she said she went from feeling like the smartest kid in her deaf ed program to feeling like the DUMBEST b/c so many of her Gally classmates were VERY wildly creative and smart in out of the box ways

he'll be hooked up with EI.Tell them to hook up with Wisconsin School for the Deaf too. Very tired right now but will link tomorrow

Hell no, Brown is AMAZING! And of course you didn't turn a stint at a community college in RI into " I went to Brown!"

I LOVE the AVT approach where the "how to deal with social emoitional issues" is straight out of a VERY naive first year special ed teacher's playbook. I did attend an AMAZING hearing camp, but it was an amazing camp in GENRAL.

Is there ANY way you can prove you are who you claim to be? You know. I know a guy who was pretending to be more affected then he was for attention. Why I do not know. But he was. I also know people who pretended their kid was deaf or that their partner was ID or whatnot to get attention. I'm...

Exactly! Speech skills are good to have. But just b/c a kid functions as HOH it doesn''t mean they're "better educated"....Heck not all hearing kids go to Harvard!

Yes you gave enough information about a state residental school that you referred a student to in the past, where it was very obvious where it was located.

Exactly. Bombard the kids with EVERYTHING (with the exception of the monoglot Signers who cannot benefit from speech intervention) Stop making up a controversy where there is NONE. Give the kid speech, sign Cued speech and a variety of social, educational and life experiances. Easy, simple! Most...

Your history is in Missouri. Missouri does NOT have self contained classrooms of ANY type

No. That was not my point at all.

You do realize that with people with a certain disorder that something like getting a B on a paper is presented as "I'm going to Harvard or attendance at a community college is " I have an AMAZING high powered job with a Kendall Square startup" Her claims of being a VERY well experienced TOD...

Again that is VERY hard to believe. How did you communicate with them when you might only know fingerspelling? The first story would have been ALL over the news!

Really? Shadowing a teacher in a student teacher setting is now teaching? You claim an extensive work history......but again how do we know what you say actually matches up with your claims? I know lots of mainstream teachers who say they see the exact same things. You also never mentioned...

Oh yes, don't you know? Bringing up issues she wasn't taught about is PERSONALLY attacking her! Speech only is PERFECT and normal, and has NO downsides!

Yup. Certificate of attendance kid right? You sound better off then the two dhh kids from GA, who I know who graduated in the '00's. They were ALSO placed in sped. One of them still has issues with the difference between boycotted and boycotting, cannot pass a written test to become a massage...
