Oh cool, that means Jillio should shut up and let us deafies drive to? Oh you only mean those deaf families who don't agree with everything you say?
FYI Cloggy with his deaf daughter would actually fall under the deaf families part of your post, just as Jillio does.
Now I really do have to stay away from the boards since the logic that determines what is valid research and what is not seems to be determined on where that research comes from, ex. deaf colleges or hearing ones, on who funds it, evidently CI companies can't do research, or other mundane issues.
The purpose of this forum on HA & CI's is to discuss pros and cons. Hopefully the discussions parents concidering implantation to look into some of the issues discussed. At the moment there really doesn't seem to be much sharing of ideas but more you're NOT DEAF so shut up. So maybe the deaf parents who chose ASL only should shut up to?
Have a great day!!
