Communication Options? NO WAY!

by webmaster on Apr.09, 2010, under Uncategorized

Roughly Translated

Communication Options? NO WAY!

The communication options have been provided to parents of Deaf babies. We have tried those and they won’t work!

Many parents have regretted making the decision. They realize at a later time that communication options don’t work for them. The communication options make parents feel responsible for not meeting their needs.

The system that endorses the concept of communication options should be held accountable.

The parents are overwhelmed by the options, and they are in a very difficult situation. They are forced to take a gamble on their own Deaf baby’s future by making a decision that should not happen. This practically removes rights from parents and their Deaf child(ren) unethically.

Communication options include English, ASL, AVT, oralism, Signed English, SEE1, SEE2, cued speech and many other artificial communication tools. In fact, ASL and English SHOULD not be part of communication options. ASL and English are real languages. The other options are not. How can you teach Deaf children communication tools without having a language? The concept of communication options does not make any sense at all.

The language right should not be denied to them. Deaf babies deserve to acquire language. Bilingualism (English and ASL) guarantees parents that their children will grow up having a minimum of two real languages.

Communication Options? NO WAY!
