I see people with oral or no sign language grew up suffered so long with long oppressing society. I agreed with the deaf chip.

Contrary to my experience for my hearing child with minor disablity. He was born. I was overjoyed till the doctor informed me. ALL my exciting was totally crushed. I was so devastated that the hopsital: social worker and doctors did not give me the fully access to have the resources: interpreter and resources of his disabiblity programs…. I still struggle for ten years today…. They tend to put wrong program caused my child increasingly frustrates daily. They labeled the wrong term for my child.

I understand for the parents with deaf newborn babies get impact with the shocking news and lost their mind. The abusers ( doctors(ENT) or social worker or ci specialist or audiologist or speech therapist) can get the advantage to deprive the vunerable parents’ rights.

My strongly believe that the professionals in the hosptials give the new hearing parents with the newborn babies the Deaf community resources and refer them immediately into the deaf community. They can get the better resources to help the parents to understand the steps of emotions to be heal. They can make the decisions clearly… * REMEMBER Listen to CHILD or BABIES have the rights to answer no if they not want avt or ci etc. let them be happy. ”

Deaf communities,Hearing parents with deaf newborns and deaf children build the bridge together. AVT CI and ENT always give mislead information; break the bridge.

I had experienced with the audiologist test to use avt that i felt offended. I realized that it is totally oppressed!

EDUCATE THE PROFESSIONS IN THE HOSPITAL!!!

Yes ASL and English are languages, not tools or communication systems.

Yes I am very much aware that parents are very protective of their rights. No question about that. We need to explain that parents rights are not reduced but rather improved when their children get their full access to languages. There are many challenges out there. We need to bring in legal, advocacy and marketing to the hearing world about bilingual for Deaf babies/children.

I better go now and I won’t be able to respond till next Tuesday or making a new vlog (another hot debate again??? eh!)

I am not sure I should do that in my vlog because I am not expert in the field of that. I will figure that out and see how it can reach to everyone.

Will see….

“Speaking of school, everyone has no choice but learn English. It is really an unwritten rule.” by anne marie

i am not teacher myself. i think we fight against the wrong target. hospital is not school. but you give me great idea to find the loopholes to protect asl for baby’s right.

i think we should fight to focus on the target is SCHOOL for baby’s right to have education in language. we can’t stop parent for their options like ci, avt, cued cuz these are just tools to communicate in english.

however in school, it is mandatory for any children to learn language, math, science, reading, art, etc… that parent have no control over the education’s system for their option. right?

now we have to convince our congress or education board/commission that asl is real language for deaf to have bilingualism as “safety net” in education. avt in speeching, cued, see, pse are not considered in real education but just mode tool for english.

i knew someone else left comment that asl is not for every deaf. i beg to differ. like i said math or art is not for everyone but why they are still required to learn these in education. bottom is cuz language, math, science, reading, art, etc are proved to be “safety net” as asl in natural language for deaf is also “safety net”. “safety net” is better education.

i think we find the loophole in school’s system to considered as “safety net”. like anne marie said, “Speaking of school, everyone has no choice but learn English. It is really an unwritten rule.” she is wrong about part of “unwritten” rule. english is already written rule as bylaws somewhere to be mandatory for school. why can’t we convince our congress or education board to pass the law or rule whatever to include asl among language, math, reading, science, etc… so avt CAN’T either remove or prevent asl if the rule become written by congress or education board whatever!

I also find the concept of parental rights over language choice for their children indeed intriguing. Very powerful I think.

Suppose parents decide that their kids speak only Spanish, no English at home. That is their business, we cannot tell them what to do. See. Speaking of school, everyone has no choice but learn English. It is really an unwritten rule.

Speaking of Deaf ed program, it varies. Now it leaves to “guess” the child’s capacity to acquire English alone without ASL. I strongly agree that it is always a risk. Always.

The question is “taking a risk and see hope” violation of human right to language? ASL is becoming more readily available than ever that lack of support and implement is becoming inexcusable and discriminatory and violation of human right?

Hmm..

I suggest you to make another Vlog/Blog about your #66.

Gosh, that is so important and needs to be reached to more readers/viewers in DR!
