    While having oral skills is valuable, Not everyone will pick up oral skills. There will be deaf who can't pick up the skills for whatever reason. This is why doing both Oral and ASL is good for all deaf, but we do have to realize that there will be deaf that can't pick up the skills. Plus...

    Do I Understand?

    personally, I've read a lot of Jillio's posts, and From my point of view, she's a hearing person trying to help the deaf. She's trying to understand Deaf culture, but she knows that she can't understand what it's like to be deaf. Really, from what i've seen, every person who could hear that...

    Once-deaf girl to work at Disney World

    While I am happy for the Pooler girl in her acheivements, I take offense to the media's use of "once deaf" because the media makes it sound like just because you have a CI, you are no longer deaf. But Did the media ever think that if the CI user takes off the CI, they are deaf without that CI...

    Cloggy, My mother started me out on cued speech within 4 months of my deafness being confirmed ,so I don't know if this would help you. But For me, it was a helpful tool until I could lipread without visual aid. And Even if your daughter doesn't show much interest in it now, I think she'd be...

    Deaf After Hearing?

    Oh, wanted to add.. Audiologists and the professionals that tell you that signing will take away from speech really are going by myths themselves, so keep signing and working on your speech.
