Same old shit for years. I was blessed when I went to deaf school (I’m very profound deaf) I’m very concerned about mainstreaming schools in rural area.. many deaf students WITHOUT interpreters are at mainstreaming schools. Have to stop mainstreaming schools without interpreters. No accessible!

I had a language Deprivation. Because Ihad speech therapy when I was in mainstream school. My teacher was not enough well and also my parent too. I went to Gallaudent University, I failed my English. I findo out my IQ had 100 which mean reading was 68 and number and visually shape was 106 . that is meaning is good average for me. But the reason is that they need to give ASL for all deaf and hard of hearing children to help developments learning better reading to help you become more better understand the communication

I can’t stand people who are trying to make us LSL in long run we deaf still use ASL MORE THAN LAL. I come from hearing family and they put me in LSL but in my long run isn’t that good cuz I can’t keep up with lip reading or abilities to understand what anyone is saying. Better off to keep ASL THROUGH TO THROUGH NOW MATTER WHAT!!!! Period

@Alex , Thank you for explaining to talk about concern problem with ALCU-De situation of time and Understanding clearly the viewer point is not right. I will check up on the DOJ for find which one is good or no good On Board of education in Delaware area to find out something that would happen. Thank you watching the information about Delaware state school for the deaf but I will ask them to help to support to change it from 50 states school for the deaf and hearing impairing people will say it.

Thanks you I from Guatemala 🤟🇬🇹

Thanks for great and clear explanation and recap!

Thank-you for this!

What are terrible for the Delaware deaf school, deaf love ASL but speak up to them not perfect like low/high. Me too I speak loud, hearing people asked me why loud talk, that's from oral school, no ASL allows, after graduated, deaf people makes fun of me as alligator, then I learn ASL from deaf club, anyway I do both speak/ASL as not perfect, not easy!🥴 As for ASL is like picture, beautiful.🤟

I hold a different viewpoint on LSL. While it emphasizes speaking and listening skills, I take pride in being deaf. My love for ASL stems from its inherent beauty - it's the most captivating language I've encountered. For those who are deaf and proficient in ASL, the significance of using it over English becomes apparent. Let's refrain from imposing LSL on deaf children; it doesn't seem to be as effective. ASL, with its visual richness, provides a profound understanding and a great means of communication BACK OFF LSL! LET BE ASL IN AND TEACH CHILDREN AND THIER FUTURE BETTER! I strongly advocate for deaf children to attend deaf schools as a crucial step in their development. Deaf children learn ASL rapidly in deaf schools, and this quick acquisition is pivotal for their future communication skills.

Ditto! Me too

Wow

Shame on ACLU-DE

I agree with the complaint. All "deaf" children should be helped to try to learn to speak. There's a community of death people who feel that speech is not for them and that there is nothing lacking in being deaf. Ok. But eachh child should be treated as an individual with the potential to gain back their hearing. Most deaf individuals can hear partly. Only mature adults are capable of deciding to limit their potential to never using spoken language. Deciding for a child is like deciding what the child's religion will be for them. But without the means to leave that religion as a grown-up. Trapped because the potential to learn speech will be diminished by then. We have accomplished incredible hearing recovery in the medical field. I have a friend with hearing loss whose parents did not send her to the death school and now, as an adult she is grateful and has normal speech and hearing implants. Do not limit children to less than their full potential, please.

Wow it is completely mislead info!

Listening and Speak Language will help deaf children to learn? I do not think so. If a child is profound deaf therefore send to deaf school that will have opportunities to learn ASL and socialize with other deaf children very helpfully. If a child is able to hear the sounds and voice as hard of hearing with %of decibel, can be able to learn how to speak or pronounce proper vowels and consonants better. I had been through with speech therapy when I was little toddler then went to deaf school I suddenly picked up fast and learned fast I was glad that I did at deaf school.

Huh, that crazy deaf need together not separate no no

This my school why do that
