My point... if there is no money or voices to support bi-bi,,, someone has to make it happen...

Dear Shel and all of my Deaf friends, help me to know how to start a new trend,, a new communication... I believe that it will take a joint effort. I believe that it is almost a life or death situation. If we don't put ASL in the public schools soon, what are we gonna do it the AGBELL minded...

there is so much to know about CIs that you don't learn in everyday conversation... Lots to consider.. IT is soooo cool that they have colors and all... hot dang.. I hope that the technology gets better because I want them to have a range that will give more depth tosound. With all of the fancy...

So, what would be a good way to teach little hearing kids to have enough signing skills to be able to tear down the walls between them and the deaf children that are mainstreamed into their schools?

IT is very exciting to watch this unfold.. Good luck and God speed. J

Congrats!!!!

Wow, that is wonderful. I wish more teachers were like that. Even a little exposure to Deaf culture and sign at a young age helps to tear down the walls of ignorance. God Bless you and your little ones... Jeanie.. Still chasin the dream for a better tomorrow for all.

Thanks so much for sharing...:)

Thanks so much...:bowlol::bowlol::bowlol::bowlol: I am not worthy!

I need to get some information about how many mainstream school use an oral only approach, or are basically using English in all of their classes. Are most schools supplying interpreters and note takers and leaving kids in the class rooms? or are they separated out. I haven't been able to find...

I think that is what they should always do. They need to educate hearing kids about Deaf kids and hearing aids and implants and stuff so they don't seem foreign to them. There is one lady who is writing books for little kids that introduce deafness in a fun way, and the hearing teachers can...

They are already a poor country with no resources. What now? I am praying for the survivors,, It is even sadder than Katrina, because they don't have the resources that we have. As far inland as the water reached, it probably was not expected at all to have so many deaths. I hope there are...

Note: this is a survey for a research paper at school. THe subject is the emotional affect on mainstreamed or oral only taught kids. Thanks for participating. :)

Did you feel like running away when you were little or just after you got old enough to want to experience the world a little more? Do you think that having a base education and culture in Deaf school was key in making you confident as a Deaf person, so you could then chance running away...

Hey Jillo, what is a TOD? I know about an IEP, but not a TOD. Thanks, THe Problem Child

That is exactly why I was kicking around the idea of an experimental program to start of with volunteers just long enough to prove it is needed and it can be learned by little kids quickly.. :) So, start praying about those administrators.. audologists... etc..

Hey Polly, thanks so much. That was sweet. I hope that this little story might reach into the hearts of the hearing people that see Deaf people as broken and help them to not be afraid to cross the bridge of understanding that separates us. :) thanks again.. Jeanie.. still chasin the dream...

When my husband died in 2005, I was totally devastated. I had been divorced before, and it didn't hurt nearly as much because it came in stages. My feelings for my ex were already pretty much dead by the time we split. But my late husband and I were still on our honeymoon and everything in my...

I think you are right about that Shel. I am still wondering though, how can we help mainstream kids? If the other students knew ASL, at least a little, wouldn't that help them to not be isolated and to be more accepted and undertood? Like, in the younger grades? Is it important to have...
