Just a bad mood that I am in about speech. Just expressing my feelings about how lately all I am hearing is about speech this or speech that. It is not targeted at AD members only..just in general. Whenever I brought up how the students with CI's ASL is doing it is like "ok ok whatever about ASL...when will my son/daughter develop speech skills?" Just expressing my feelings of frustration relating to how important speech is. As that deaf guy at the end of the PBS special was saying about speech and lipreading skills doesnt guarantee success and how knowledge and having excellent literacy skills are more powerful. I agree with him but it seems like many people arent seeing it that way. Just how I feel but doesnt mean that I am implying that all of the parents of CI children here in AD are like that and I have already apologized to Lillysdad for making it sound like that. Ok?
