What kind of choice do you give them? "We only use verbal English here, no sign language." That's not much of a choice...

It's still not fully accessible. Why would you force a system on a child that they cannot 100% access, especially when there's another just as valid system that IS 100% accessible to them naturally without surgery without intervention. Especially when by using that language they can learn the...

You said you don't sign. You said you don't use any sign language at all in your school. And those mainstreamed students aren't strictly oral. You're misrepresenting stastistics. Most of those students are in TC environments. Speech may be used, but there's also a multitude of sign languages...

The crux of the issue is linguistic, which is what a number of those papers and research discuss. It's about how ALL children acquire language, through exposure. Hearing children learn their native language (in this case we'll use English) by hearing those around them speak English, read to them...

My experience isn't the same but it's somewhat similar. was born with moderate hearing loss. I was in an accident when I was 5 that made me severely/profoundly deaf. I consider myself HoH. I have hearing aids and a BAHA and was raised with cued speech, signed English, FM systems, etc. I wish I...

This is exactly my experience too!!! I feel stuck between two worlds and I don't belong in either. @Teacherofthedeaf And yes that was referring to you. You think that Deaf students who are fluent in ASL are stupid and less successful based only on English literacy. Speaking English isn't...

@AlleyCat I had speech therapy all through school, technically it was AVT. My speech is actually really good for a DHH person. But I also think of what I could have learned instead of all those hours spent pulled out of my homeroom class and sitting with the speech teacher, with her beside my...

@Teacherofthedeaf Continued.,... Here's a few points with the associated research from another site: *CHILDREN WHO LEARN SIGN LANGUAGE MAY HAVE MORE BRAIN CAPACITY LATER, LEARN TO SPEAK SOONER, AND DO BETTER ON FUTURE IQ TESTS. (THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN, MARCH 1999) *11-MONTH-OLDS WHO LEARNED...

@Teacherofthedeaf "I also never said that children cannot think using ASL. " Yes you did. You said that "without the use of sign language " you teach children to "think, learn, speak, etc." so that they can "be at the level of hearing children". You keep harping on that only speech and...

THANK YOU!!! THIS!

We have a poster here who could really learn from this. She thinks Deaf kids can only learn to think if they learn to listen and speak. And she's proud of being a TOD.

And you don't even sign?????????!!!?!?!? Not even signed English? Wow. No wonder you won't listen to me, you don't think Deaf/HoH people who sign are at the intellectual level of those who speak English.

"Our school teaches deaf children to listen and speak without the use of sign language. We support children with hearing loss to develop the spoken language, listening, thinking and learning skills necessary to compete alongside their hearing peers. " You are saying Deaf students cannot be...

Gahhhhh no it can't!!!! Signed English cannot be a proper L1 for a completely prelingually Deaf child. Cued speech only works for HoH children (trust me I'm HoH and that's what I was exposed to in the 90s) The only way it can is if the child lost their hearing after being exposed to spoken...

I'm not saying SEE cant be used as a tool ti SUPPLEMENT ASL and written/even spoken English, I said as much on my first post . I'm saying it is NOT a naturally evolved language and it should NOT be used as a L1 for Deaf children. "Because unlike manual forms of English ASL is a...

I really just cant... this is factual. I know wiki in itself isnt a resource but look at all 30+ references at the bottom to start. Ill start uploading all my textbooks and syllabi later. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signing_Exact_English

Oh my name sign is just using the letter 'K' for my first name and signed like the sign for tall, because I'm over 6 feet haha I don't know what kind og name sign that would count as.

You would think but linguistically in the brain it's not. As far as what a complete sign language incorporates, signed English doesn't have those things. There's no special grammar, syntax, etc. If you just use signed English with a Deaf child and nothing else it doesn't work in the brain as...

I live in a small mountain town, a 2 hour drive 100 miles minimum to the big city where there's a small Deaf community..
