  I honestly believe that the reason so many methods to teach deaf children have evolved becuase no single method works for all.  The Hands and Voices tag line says it all.   Also something that King Jordan said at the HLAA convention in his keynote speech rings truth.    I know that's a bit off topic but though it's worth a response.  To answer the original question .. From my view you can't possibly see things from a deaf perspective if you are not deaf and have not experienced life as a deaf person.  You can (and do) certianly try and sometimes you might even be able to.  But to get the full deaf perspective I believe you must life your life as a deaf person.  IMHO
