That doesn't show that anything has changed. Your mother's attitude then was toward oralism, and if she had to do it over again, she would still choose oralism. You very post states that. She would just change the method she used to pursue the goal. The goal remains the same.
I have already stated that technology has changed. That is not the issue. The issue is that the soul and the needs of the deaf child have not changed. Having a CI does not change the fact that they have very real, very universal, and very real needs that having a CI does not address.
