*nods* Yes. Mainstreamed kids experiance the hearing world yes....but on a very superfical level. I graduated 13 years ago, and can totally relate....
I just LOVE how Auditory Verbal claims that dhh kids have the right to grow up in typical living and listening situtions, but yet totally and completely ignores the fact that most dhh kids can only interact with hearing people on a very superfical level socially and emotionally.....and that includes very oral kids! God, if I had a buck for every single deaf guy who has ever IMd me wanting a girlfriend, i would be RICH. .....
