I agree that the oral methos was worthless for you but what works for you does not mean it works for all deaf people. You are so wrong. I just spent 2 week at this amazing oral school for the deaf. Most kids there got implant before the age of 3 and you could not tell at all that they were...

I was talking about oral language for a child with a profound hearing loss.

I couldn't have said better CI are a tool, technology, a device when use with the right support could help with developing speech.

You have no idea who I am and what I believe in. You are making judgements without taking the time to find out. I am not forcing my children to be oral. Yes, I did raise my orally. My children are now teenagers and I have told them that if they want they can take off their implants and...

YOU DON'T KNOW. I live with 2 teenage deaf children that have implants. They love their implants. I work in field that I am always in contact with adults that have implants. I am not sure where you are hiding and where you find your info but open your eyes and realize that there people that...

Again do you understand how children develop language and that if a child is implant when he is older he will not be able to learn at the level of a child who is implant say around 1 or 2 years old.

There are some people on here that believe only they have the right go off topic. Just like you Loml, I think Vallee comment was very valuable. This could happen to anyone not just people who have implants.

Kalista did you ever get the information about those CI kids your son meet that do not have good speech. Remember, if you are going to make a judgement like that we need more info such has age of implant, parent support, type of program in.

It depends on the person some may need it and some may not.

I beg to differ. This does go back to orginial reason why this thread was develop. With our first verdict for CART, we won because the judge stated that the school did not respect and encourage my daughter primary and preferred mode of communication. The school district wanted to put an...

Cloggy please excuse me if I put words in your mouth but I sort of think I know how you feel. We can accept our children are deaf, can you accept that our children are deaf and not Deaf. Why do you think all deaf babies have to be Deaf. My children have not lost their identify. They know...

I am not sure about the special education laws that affect deaf children in other states but in California, it states that the school must respect and encourgae the child's preferred mode of communication. They are bounded by the parents choice of communication mode.

WHile AG Bell did not help me get an interpeter, they did give me some information on how to start my battle for CART for deaf cochlear implanted teenagers. You know who helped me even more was hands and voices. If this organization can help us parents of oral deaf teenagers why can't you...

You have no idea what you are talking about. I am a parent of 2 teenaged deaf children with implants. No one brainwashed me. I can think for myself and make informed decisions. I can accept and have accepted that my children are deaf. I did not want my child fixed because the cochlear...

You know you are so right that it is the media that says it is a miracle. I remember several years ago I was watching the news. This little girl was on the news, never heard before and they watched her being first turn on. Then her mother from over 6 feet away called her name, and the...
