Mummie, mummie, such anger...Which is it cloggy...is she deaf or is she hearing. You are talking out of both sides of your mouth. Her statemetn claims that she is denying that she is deaf. Where does she get that idea, daddy?
I never said she was hearing. You should read the posts and comments correctly.
I have allways said, "She's deaf, and she can hear."
Back to the topic "Do I understand.?"
Do you realise you are quoting the words of deaf a 5-year old? She just said "I am not deaf." and you are making an issue out of it?
What's the matter with you.??
Not even capable of enjoying a deaf child that tells her sister in her own words that she can hear?
Really sad. In your focus for ASL you loose sight of the most important part of the whole issue.... The person that is deaf.
Why can you not be happy with a child that is thriving on speech.?? You are allready assuming that she will fail in the end. Is THAT how you approach children with CI ? because if this is the case, I hope any parent reading this will keep the child away from Ohio...
If you claim that you "know deaf persons" - you might want to take a positive approach. Enjoy the child that is thriving on speech, and support it. And when it's obvious that more can be done, then give that to the child.
But to use a statement like that and assume that she denies her deafness.... WOW... that's really screwed up..
Again.... when she says "I am not deaf" - I interpret it as "I can hear"..... Is that completely impossible for you?
