Those whose were in eager to learn in motivation with ASL to keep up in communicate each other in no matter what....because that is part of like DEAF FAMILY each other in their need with ASL grow in deaf community ...also Coda or Hearing Spouse With deaf husband or wife ....that is fine .... No problem. This is part repect in deaf communtiy unity.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Now that is my main concern big TARGET ON HEARING people or parent is still taking advantage with CI or Hearing Aid on Deaf people.<BR/><BR/>Because CI and Hearing Aid is not perfect to hear clear at all so hearing parent want them to wear it for their advantage themself and not want to use ASL.<BR/><BR/>Best way when hearing parent is around with deaf people .... I recommend deaf people to take it the CI wire or Hearing Aid OFF OFF OFF so that way make the parent to LEARN IT LEARN IT in OUR WAY WITH ASL. It is time to wake them up for the world change it.<BR/><BR/>Deaf, CI, Hard of Hearing, hearing loss as we are always always always using our VISUALIZE ON ASL is the answer.<BR/><BR/>One day my parent inlaw ask me where is your hearing aid and I said where is your hands sign.<BR/><BR/>I am VERY VERY VERY tired with hearing parent to tell us what to do. I am sick of it.<BR/><BR/>DavyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-44618558778338423882008-01-16T21:53:00.000-05:002008-01-16T21:53:00.000-05:00It was beautiful blog posting.

The problem is the 25% who do have such strong opinions that it causes me to fear rejection from the Deaf Community. It is very difficult to be deaf and not apart of the community because of a choice I made. I love my CIs, but should I explain myself daily. It is time to get past that and on to healing. I hope with the MLK holiday here that others see the person not the assistive technology.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026325968244954541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-35526531751792635302008-01-16T19:02:00.000-05:002008-01-16T19:02:00.000-05:00I completely agree what you were saying!We need to...I completely agree what you were saying!<BR/><BR/>We need to hear more stories - <BR/><BR/>Stories help us to heal.<BR/>Stories help us to understand.<BR/>Stories help other people to see how we feel.<BR/>Stories help to find common ground.<BR/>Stories help to empower ourselves.<BR/>Stories help to promote ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Your story and my story is not the same, we are unique.<BR/><BR/>We have something in common, our stories may have similar theme, then let the people see the theme themselves.<BR/><BR/>Stories do heal.<BR/><BR/>Let's tell our story!<BR/><BR/>Amy Cohen EfronAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09443023103224392296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-46260958990180728192008-01-16T18:42:00.000-05:002008-01-16T18:42:00.000-05:00http://wavingwithmydeafhands.blogspot.com/2008/01/...http://wavingwithmydeafhands.blogspot.com/2008/01/state-of-being-whole.html (I wrote about Unity)<BR/><BR/>Hello Barb!<BR/>I'm very touched! I do believe in Unity. I wrote about unity on my blog. <BR/><BR/>I agree when you said its part of tech processing. <BR/>Hearing aids = TTD (old fashioned)<BR/>Cochlear Implants = VIDEO PHONE<BR/>(new tech)<BR/>It's just the tech processing, and that we live through the changes of tech stuff. <BR/>ASL is the most beautiful language for everyone! I just want to add something: My hearing parents use it often when they talk to each other in the church, library, and when they are in their cars without rolling down the windows to speak. They speak to each other secretly front of their relatives or people at the hospital when they don't want them to hear what they say. <BR/>ASL is great for hearing parents and their child or children with CI and they can use it anytime. ;)Deb Ann and Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16848684699934748571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-54118525028759723862008-01-16T16:38:00.000-05:002008-01-16T16:38:00.000-05:00Barb, Can you look into the uk/England..

If their strictly monolingual or small-minded hearing parents reject their deaf children's birthright (natural) language, it is they who may end up sending them to a green couch down the road. A psychiatrist would hear implantées sob and say, "I cannot understand a spoken language of any hearing stranger of any walk of life in any corner of the globe," and, in turn, he would lift his head to high heaven, "Nihil sub sole novum."<BR/><BR/>Salut,<BR/>JeanBeaux Arts de Boutjeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453552767797746706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-23204388078495393202008-01-16T15:24:00.000-05:002008-01-16T15:24:00.000-05:00I notice that some commentaries write some words i...I notice that some commentaries write some words in ASL is always an option that seems to imply it isn’t required. <BR/><BR/><BR/>My Deaf brother, hard of hearing sister and I were fighting over having made fun of moving mouth incorrectly and made fun of moving in gesture with each other and hurt each other’s feelings in the house. First, this was the reason that my sisters though it was one of the best levels of high reading and writing in the mainstream school. Second, this was the reason that my brother could speak with his voice while dropping sign language. It was my first Spanish when I was adopted as a child. I poked fun at him showing off his oral speech and then mocked on her hearing aids covered with her hair <BR/><BR/>We, as adults, share family unity and we respect each other in option ASL communication. We eventually made the decision that we ejected out of SEE and SimCom. <BR/><BR/>FloridagirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-73383562897594936582008-01-16T14:54:00.000-05:002008-01-16T14:54:00.000-05:00Interesting views of three sections of opinions. ...Interesting views of three sections of opinions.

They are better than hearing interpreters in many situations.<BR/>Why, you may ask? Because they have DeafHood in them. They KNOW the Deaf Culture in-and-out, and they have no trouble reading ASL (which many hearing interpreters have trouble with!)<BR/>Yet, the Deaf community wants to bash CI users. Folks need to consider the WHOLE picture, before they continue bashing.<BR/>Thanks for your post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-18046932488384495382008-01-16T13:54:00.000-05:002008-01-16T13:54:00.000-05:00Lovely message and so eloquently expressed!
