    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    Wrong assumption. There's potential in the language and communication department for each child depending on the circumstances, timing, contribution of parents, upbringing, and if technology will be used to make it work whether it's speech (oral/aural), signing (ASL, PSE, or SEE), or cued speech...

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    "Perfect speech" has always been said and framed with the context of not having that deaf voice (monotone voice, lack of inflection and sometimes weak diction) or in other words "speak like a hearing person." But that does not mean a deaf person's speech is an unintelligible speech. This...

    How often do you interact with hearing people?

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    That's what I have been pointing out. The Nanny? oh yeah, good example of that actor. Again, no such thing as "perfect speech." Among the many deaf and hh people they do talk with all of the nuances, voice inflection, style, quirks, regional accent and so on like anybody else would. Anybody...

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    Always. One must consider also the vast array of diversity, abilities and experiences of people with their hearing loss and their ultimate capability in life. I am a part of the open society who sees things as possibilities.

    Is it worth to be "oral"?

    No such thing as "perfect speech." And now, "hearing person good"?? Why are you so hung up on the so-called the "perfection of speech" when speech intelligibility is the heart of the matter?

    Hearing Mom, Hearing Child. ASL or PSE?

    Here's the problem with the "ASL" labeling, you have people who go around saying they sign in ASL but realistically they sign more in a PSE format than anything else. This is because they grew up with the English language and they incorporated the English habit into their signing because that's...

    another mass shooting......

    Those events took place in "gun-free zones," in a public place, in a school area, and usually involve kids in a lot of instances, tragically so. If it took place in a high crime area, even if 5, 6 or 7 people killed in single city shooting, they may mention it on national news and then down it...

    another mass shooting......

    I think it's more along the line that the deadly news do not exactly fit their narratives and agenda. So, they try and minimize the reporting to the extent practicable.
