Perhaps Rick48 was equating your not having your son implanted with anti-CI thinking????

We can only assume that it is so. What he fails to acknowledge is that I support an informed decision for those that are able to make that decision for themselves. If my son were to decide that he wanted to have implantation done today, I would support him 100% in his decision, the same as I support any other free thinking deaf adult, or minor that is able to determine for themselves how they feel they wish to live with their deafness. I have stated it numerous times, but of course, that gets ignored, because it is much more sensational to accuse me of being anti-CI. Very childish, and simply removes credibility from his own posts.

What I am trying to say is that not all kids are the same and technology has changed and it is OK if you cannot see that.

Yes, technology has changed. Thanks to technology, the deaf are able to communicate across distance in a manner that has never before been available to them. Pagers, TTY, VRS, CC, email....all sorts of technology benefits the deaf's communication needs. And none of that technology requires surgical alteration.

shel90- You do not have to be oral(as in spoken/speech/voice) to be bilingual when you learn English via cueing.

Nor when you are learning English as the L2 language through the written form. However, if CS is simply a mode used to offer but one language to the deaf child, they are still monolingual, and still orally based simply because English, and any other spoken language, are orally based. That means that syntax, grammar, and vocabulary are such to meet the needs of the hearing, not the deaf.

You missed the capital in "Deaf"? ....

don't take it personal when it isn't meant like that...

Cloggy,

Knew you would catch the fact that I used the capital D as I wanted to distinguish them from the deaf I have had the priviledge to know and whose opinions and experiences I respect, one of whom is my daughter.

Yeah, you are right I wonder that sometimes, it seems like people are on here all day and all night long.
 
Mod Note:


C'mon people--not only is this thread steering way off course from what this thread is concerned with, the belittling is making a swing of bringing up unnecessary drama...refrain from continuing to do so...I suggest that a few members who cannot 'reason' well with one another to refrain from posting/replying with one another, otherwise, action(s) will be imposed accordingly.

Many posts have been removed--and am sure more could be, then if so, there wouldn't really be a 'thread'--now, pls. stick to the topic.

Warning: A 'few' of you are walking that 'thin line'...please folks, let's be civil, have a sense of courtesy with one another despite one's indifference and views. If that cannot be tolerated, hopefully a banishment will be tolerated--hmm?? No??? Ok, welllllllll...let's proceed with caution, have respect, at least, learn to agree to disagree--otherwise...don't say anything.


Peace out!

How old is your daughter now? Does she happy with her cochlear implant? Have she meet with other Deaf children yet? Would you and your wife allow her to interact with other Deaf children and adults to expose ASL?

Will she attend Deaf school until high school?

She got her cochlear implant when she was 19 years old. That mean, she is turning almost 21 years old now. Wonder if she graduated from Deaf School or Mainstream School? I assumed, she finish with her college.

Read what he said again: He said that she got her implant in 1989. She was 2 years old when she got the implant.

Actually, it says that she was 19 at the time of the post (11-08-06), and received her implant in 1989. It does not state anywhere that she was 2 when the implant was done. I beleive, however,that rick48 has stated in several other posts that his daughter was 3 when the first implant was done, and a teenager when she had to be reimplanted due to devise failure.

Thanks for the clarification. Wow, she had her reimplantation during her teenager due to device failure. Poor her... :( Went through another surgery. It goose bumps to my arms...

Maybe not as much as a year. Could just be a month or two. It would depend entirely on his daughter's birthdate. But, since you seemed to want to make sure that Kalista was provided with an accurate impression, I thought I would help you out.
