You are right people keep talking speech therapy. My children stop receiving speech therapy in school when they were kindergarten. The way I learned about the type of program you have going for your son is the top down. You only need a speech therapist when you are correcting an arti issue...

SkullChick, this is why I am so careful as to what type of deaf people my children meet. I want them to meet deaf people but I do not want someone blashing my children for my decisions. It is sort of like how I feel sometimes. I am not Mexican enough for the Mexicans and I am not white...

I know if people don't like implants that fine click somewhere else.

RR you have a way with words. Loved how you said it. Parents need support and we would love some support from the Deaf community. I know how important it is for my children to role models that are going to be kind and caring and accept them for who they are oral deaf teenagers. We are lucky...

This is exactly what I have been saying for months. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

No your wrong there is a risk and I knew the risks. We are very happy that my children did not endure any risks.

A failure would be something personal, a person would have to define what a failure was to them. In all sense of the word and anyone who has had contact with my children would say that they are a success in every aspect of their lives.

Actually you are wrong. My kids havn't seen a speech therapist in school in 10 years. They havn't seen their AVT therapist in a couple of years and when they were seeing her they would see her maybe 3 times a month. Both of my kids are involved in sports, this year it was cross country, water...

You are right Cheri, different parents think differently. Since I am an oral teacher of deaf I was always able to help my kids with things they were not able to get or understand in school. So for me it was important that my children had role models like themselves in their lives because I...

I have seen also oral success and failures just as I have seen signing success and failures and these failures are not all due to switching programs later on after oral has failed. I have seen kids fail at sign even when they were introduce to it at a young age. Failures are going to occur...

Drew's dad , I can tell you that I am down the road 15 years later and just like you said time and money is the least of my concerns. And just like you, my children can choose for themselves now if they want to use their voice or not. And so far they have choosen to use their voice but if the...

Yes, I know that and if I lived close by I would have gone with my children in support of the mother and her decisions for her children.

They are in their teen years. One is 17 and one is 15. My children aren't oral failures, they are oral success. They are teenagers with open minds that have both hearing and deaf friends and within their deaf friends they have some with voices and some without and they accept all people with...

Yeah, you are right I wonder that sometimes, it seems like people are on here all day and all night long.

I thought that this thread was started by me to discuss respect for all and that RR open it again if we stick to the point and to the reasons that this thread was started in the first place. I think many of us should look at deafbaglel, I know I spelled it wrong. She stated her point which was...
