California - education options for UHL?

CSign said:
In order to attend one of the California Schools for the Deaf, one of the requirements is that the student use ASL as their primary mode of communication, and that they would not benefit from programs available in their area. There are other eligibility requirements, but given that this student doesn't use ASL as his primary mode of communication he wouldn't meet the eligibility requirements.

I didn't say they had to be fluent, I said they needed to use ASL as their primary mode of communication. I went on to further clarify that they have the ability to learn and use ASL.

Either way, there must be a willingness to use ASL as the primary mode of communication. From the single post we have to go on, this child does not use ASL as his primary mode of communication. I also didn't get the impression from the poster that it was being seriously considered for the future. I'm going off the one post.

Also, I never said the parent shouldn't look into it. I simply stated that chances are good that he will not be eligible for the CSD.

I clarified my statement with a quote from the eligibility requirements,

"The deaf applicant demonstrates the ability to learn/ and or use American Sign Language as the primary mode of communication to access instruction, including as follows..."

However, they must still be willing to utilize ASL as their primary mode of instruction and communication.

I suggest you to give up and accept the facts from real world experts from CSDF/R. It is a fact because I went there for 6 years. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. SEE and ASL is not the same. They are willing to teach students ASL if they come from a background of SEE or some sort of foreign language. An exchange student from Germany did come to CSDF at one point.

You see, ASL was not my primary language when I first entered CSDF>

Jiro- I've actually adressed the OP's question with a link to eligibility requirements for the CSD and eligibility for Sp
Ed in CA.

I don't believe you've addressed it at all, so please... Don't be a cicada.
 
If I gave the impression a student must be fluent in ASL to attend CSD, that was not my intention.

I stick by the fact that they must be willing to learn and use ASL as their primary mode of communication. It's a requirement.

What's your point? No one ever said that you used the term "fluent".:dunno2:

You really need to stop. You constantly accuse us of painting a bad picture of you. You are managing to do that all by yourself, and the more you try to backpedal, the worse you come across.

And we corrected the misinformation implied that what is in writing on the internet is also the way it occurs in actual practice. So what is the issue? You added your 2 cents worth, and we elaborated on what you Googled by giving real life experience as examples.

If that is true, why did you say that this student would not be accepted? The OP never said this child did not have the ability or the desire to learn ASL as the primary mode of communication for his educational environment. Did you just assume that when you said the kid wouldn't be accepted?

have you been to CSD? Is your son in CSD? anything at all relating to CSD?
 
I texted someone who works in admission...she confirmed that the OP should give them a call and she'll be more than glad to talk to them regarding their child and what steps they need to take. :)

They have deaf kids who use picture systems to communicate due to special needs. Even this so called criteria isn't true. This kind of misinformation can deter parents from seeking services at the deaf school.

Exactly. Which is why I believe that it is so danged important to make sure that it gets corrected. Parents have enough trouble trying to dig up information regarding their deaf children. When one takes the time to come to a deaf forum and actually ask for feedback from the community, I want to make absolutely certain that the information they get is spot on. It is about their child's academic future, and that is nothing to be piddled around with.

Thanks for sending that text. I'm certain that the OP appreciates your effort and your time on behalf of her child.

Re: picture systems: Agreed. My son's school (all classroom instruction in ASL) also utilized this accommodation for deaf students with special needs. Additionally, more than one deaf student with CP used a communication board.

I'm not encouraging the op to not look into CSD, I'm simply clarifying the fact that her child likely will not qualify to attend there. That doesn't mean he won't have appropriate supports and services in another placement.

Do you see what I said? Page 2.

I would expect them to say that. That is their obligation.

Edit to add: Deafbajagal, for sake of clarity there isn't any underlying sarcasm in that post. Parents of DHH children in CA (or moving to CA) have the right to get more information about the State Special Schools.

You're joking right?

I haven't been "proven wrong", and the school itself hasn't made any determinations about this child. Why don't you read the link I provided. It will give you a better understanding of the CSD enrollment process. :wave:
