I love that quote. I used it in a paper I wrote for an undergrad sociology class.

That's something my daughter's school has elevated to a priority. They are attempting to formalize the teaching of ASL in the same way that English is taught (and measured). They've begun with the early childhood program, using directed learning and ASL technique pull-outs for students, much like "speech" is done in public schools to refine the ability to deliver a language. I don't know details about where it's going as it was just announced in September and we're only seeing a handful of changes to date, but I really like the intent.

Every student has 3X week "communication" sessions -- one on one sessions with an instructor in which language is assessed and exercised. The focus depends on the individual child: might be expressive or receptive signing, speaking or listening, comprehension, writing, reading. They are watching very closely for gaps, and moving the children into different groupings based on their abilities rather than strictly by age. I know far more about my daughter's specific program than about the individualized programs across the school, but it's an amazing program that several schools have come to observe and plan to incorporate into their schools.

I'm so thankful to my local public school for providing this placement based on my daughter's IEP, and to this amazing bi-bi school that is truly bilingual, developing both ASL and English, and providing individualized resources for children to learn without restriction and without bias using and developing their language(s) and mode(s) in the process.

My son's school has offered ASL classes to students that cover grammar, syntax, etc. the same way an English class does with that language. They have offered ASL classes to parents for several years. They also have a bi-bi early intervention program that admits both hearing and deaf children.

New world? What have they been abducted by aliens?

Sorry, but our children do not need to "fit in" as we are giving them the opportunities to be vital parts of their families and their communities.

BTW that also includes the deaf community as well.

How do you know that? Do you actually ask the parents or are you making more assumptions? How can you possibly know why they make the choices they make?

FJ,

She doesn't, haven't you figured it out by now that she just either makes it up or repeats what she heard somewhere else.

And what is that except "fitting in." The only difference is that it is your idea of who the deaf child needs to "fit in" with.

And the statement was "their world" not "new world". "Their" seems to be the word you continually ignore.

New world--->birth

I hope all those children who can't have the same opportunity as your kids still be part of their family.

But a lot of oral only parents DO chose oral only for their kids b/c of subconscious psychological manipulation.

See what I mean!

Case in point now she has parents succumbing to "subconscious psychological manipulation", I guess this alleged "subconscious psychological manipulation" is of course being perpetrated by those evil AGBell types, you know, the ones who engage in super duper hyper intensive speech therapy, hyper schedule their children's daily lives, engage in helicoptering parenting and worst of all, actually want their children to go to good colleges. God how awful!!!

And that is the issue. Some people need to grasp the fact that everything is not about them and their child.

You are truly out of touch with reality. Membership in AGBad tends to do that.

No, its actually being part of a loving family that loves her for who she is and not how she communicates, two points that are way beyond your grasp.

Ouch. Not everyone wants to be raised as an oral deaf. I am so glad to have ASL in my life, I cannot imagine it any other way. Of course, I'm speaking for myself.

We call it AGBad for a reason.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the memo about using silly and childish names for AGBell. Did it also include the new cheer for the NAD: Go NAD?

Exactly and parents should have the ability to choose whatever options work best for their child and be free from attack especially from a parent who initially utilized the same methods.
