??? That still doesn't explain the other one and FJ has been attacked even BEFORE she started talking about the AVT stuff recently. Although I haven't been on AD very long and frequent enough to know this for sure. But....
I have an inkling that if ANY parent tries to employ SOME oral training/speech training/AVT/any characteristic of oral approach, they will get attacked/criticized, even if they teach them ASL primarily.
I suspect because they are doing it out of emotions from their speech therapy during childhood or subconsciously defending someone they know who is intelligent but has poor speech skills.
Do you think all this criticism is doing more good than bad in the long run for deaf children today?
Also, I wanted to ask in general: I've seen lots of people talk in AD about primary ASL users who speak well, but NEVER how they obtained their speech skills. Why?
