RD, you already know that if a child don't have a language before he gets a CI (which can take a year, sometimes two years depending on if a doctor think they would benefit from HAs), it would delay them. Which is why parents should sign to them so they don't waste any time. A hearing child usually say their first word at 8 months or so.

It has been my experience that most families DO sign pre-CI, even if they completely drop it after. Also, the child should be doing pre-op therapy when they have hearing aids. They should be developing language, even if it isn't age appropriate.

Hearing aids isn't a great tool to access language without lipreading.Ask any late deafened.

Pre-CI I am sure they are lipreading. My point is that they aren't just left to rot before they get their implants. Families are still working, doing therapy, and often signing, before activation.

really? I believe a significant portion of ADers and other deafies are "left to rot" at system.

very very very few people like you, DD, sheila, and me got lucky to have a very devoted parents. what of other deafies? :(
 
babies can lipread :) They also can sign "I love deaf" before CI surgery too.

I already know parents are taking actions. I was talking to Rockdrummer about certain topic and it is not about parents doing nothing.

And these are different times with different parents, different technologies and different therapy.

I'm talking about present date.

despite of technological advancement and improved disability laws, Human Behavior still remains the same. I've seen it all and I'm still seeing it. Come by here for NYC DPHH and see it for yourself.

As I have said before, there is a diference between raising your child using the auditory oral methodology and being a lazy ass parent who does nothing.

As I have said before... Raising your child to fit in is not as good as introducing them to their world.
 
I think you making a wrong assumptions that every child who do not do well in oral approach must have lazy parents. There are stubborn parents too.

And who are you to say what "their world" is? I chose to have my daughter be a part of the Deaf community, but not all parents do. Perhaps they simply want them to be deaf, not Deaf. Not everyone chooses to be a part of the ASL using Deaf community. Being Deaf is a choice, being deaf is not. Just by having a hearing loss, it does not make you part of the "Deaf world".

I didn't say that. But part of being a responsible parent is knowing whether or not your child is struggling with understanding, language and school. And then, if they are, doing something about it.
 
stubborn parents are parents who do use oral approach, do everything they can, but refuse to add visual language. They keep changing and changing, fixing and fixing.

They dont care about these deafies who were left to "rot". That's why I stopped responding to them. It sickens me. It is all about the oral successes. Whatever.
