Let me jump in here with a question...
Btw, I agree with you both about atitudes and what not, but having said that...
Where does that atitude start? Does it start with a pre-conceived notion that the parent wants their child to be apart of the hearing world, and therefore they seek out advice from that vantage point or does it start with the medical professional that says if you want your child to fit in, you must do this, that, or the other, to ensure your child's success in the hearing world?
