It seems like a parent who chooses oral only routine could be perceived as audism.
By that definition, a parent who chooses ASL + written English only could be perceived as "reverse audism"
What about a parent who chooses oral only in the early years and allows the older child to learn ASL later? Is that still audism?
What about a parent who chooses ASL + written English in the early years and allows the older child to learn oral skills later? Is that still reverse audism?
Funny how a CHOICE of a way to do things automatically means you are against the other ways.
That's why people talk about Bi-bi approach, "a full toolbox" approach giving the illusion that you are giving your child EVERYTHING, but honestly, for me, that's not the case. The approach is balancing what you CAN give to your child and limits of time, information, environment (location, family, and cost), and appropriate rate of development. After all, you don't want to burn out your child.
For a lot of people here on AD, they believe that the bi-bi approach is the best rate of return in terms of education and social development.
