I research about Total Communication. It was so risky because I had bad sign language, poor English, and a lack of speech in a mainstream school when I grew up there. My parents spoke Spanish and didn't even know how to sign language. I looked like I was a language deprivation. I wish they chose Cued Speech or Auditory/Oral for me instead of Total Communication.
@@SC_jamesbond007jua yeah, not how that works. The downside to sim-com is you’re not using either language fully correctly. But you can do bilingual method without sim-com and have two fully formed languages.
At honestly in my real life, I was about 3 years old while learning in home-made gestures from my mother who was the future educator and high school mathematics teacher, and in Italian Gestural Language from my strong, intellectual, well-educated and college-educated Italian-American middle-class family with privileges- D’Auria Family on American soil when I grew up in the smaller mountain town-Uniontown, Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in a fact. Oralism didn’t benefit me much. Then I frequently failed speech reading, residential hearing skills and lip reading skills in classes in De Paul institute-School for the Deaf as the strict oral Roman Catholic school for the deaf in Mc Keepsort, Pennsylvania in the area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For many times, I was severely punished for using home-gestures and Italian Gestural language by many old-fashioned nuns who all were mean in reality. Then in my escape way was: staying at home in my strong rebellion in my early traumatic childhood life as I stubbornly refused to go to De Paul Institute- School for the deaf as I always won in warlike battles against my mother who tried to force me to attend it in numerous times. And then I became a chronic truant , my mother became more worried then she contacted my close paternal uncle who was the family physician with his Ph.D. and M.D. degrees as she had discussed with him over issues about my case. He warned my mother that there was a very serious psychological impacts among me when I grew up so there. Finally he advised my mother about the best residential school for the deaf where sign language was taught in all classes- WPSD ( Western Pennsylvanian School for the Deaf in Edgewood, Pennsylvania in the area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) as he finally found it in best location. On September, 1964, I was 12 years old as my oldest deaf brother was 17 years old but a strong oralist were transferred to WPSD from De Paul Institute-School for the Deaf as both of me and my oldest deaf brother made the decisions to decide in own ways when my mother asked us by reporting to my close paternal uncle as our family physician with his Ph.D. & M.D. degrees as I was a closest deaf niece to him in my very good relationship with him in strong bonding. Aftermath I was a faster learner to learn in finger spelling and in sign language in acceleration in development as it took one month. There was difference between me and my oldest deaf brother in my mother’s notice. I was a youngest but last-born deaf family sibling as my deaf brother was an oldest and first-born family sibling. Otherwise, I have had my hard-of-hearing brother, my normal-hearing brother, and my normal-hearing sister in my all normal-hearing family including my normal-hearing parents who were the well-educated college graduates Later in years, the recent genetic testing results have shown that I have: COX-26 as recessive gene causing Genetic Deafness in my D’Auria-Doria Family Tree ( Italy to USA) from one generation to another generation in my longer lineage. Both of my oldest deaf brother and my hard-of-hearing brother have: COX-26, too. In maturity in my life, I fully speak in ASL(American Sign Language), PSE(Pidgin Signed English), Signed English, home-gestures, and Italian Gestural Language in proficiency. Now I have B. A. (Bachelor’s Degree of Arts) in double-majors of Biology and Chemistry from Gallaudet University in Washington, DC with Class of 1981 ( Monday May 18, 1981). Until I moved out of Washington, DC where I resided here for 14 years, I moved in to settle down to live in the area of Rochester, New York in Monroe County ( Upstate New York) having its largest deaf & hard-of-hearing community speaking in ASL, Signed English Language, Signed Spanish Language and other sign languages on Monday September 1, 1984. Still I live here in the area of Rochester, New York as a permanent local resident in much experiences in a fact. Strongly I feel that ASL (American Sign Language) is very popular but very important to learn in high emphasis in strong recommendations in a specific point of the view in reality. Oralism, Audism, Cochlear-Implantation, speech-readings, residential hearing practices, and other oral methods won’t be beneficial to many of congenitally- deaf younger children but they all do more harms among them in recent research studies have shown as I acknowledge in honestly. There is a strong proof of true evidence. Well, I have experienced my traumatic childhood life in awfully bad situations in a very, very serious psychological impacts resulting to language deprivation in my early childhood years of my life at my honestly. Luckily I have had many of my close deaf childhood friends who finally recognized me as I was a new student in WPSD at my age of 12 on September 1964 as they taught me in finger spelling and sign language in interacting in socializations in my experiences. My clinical psychologist for the deaf with Ph.D. recently has described me as highly intelligent despite of genetic deafness in a fact. My close late paternal uncle as my family physician with his Ph.D. & M.D. had described me, too.- Only I tell you truth in our reality. Sincerely, Christa D’Auria
Thank you for sharing your life experiences. Thank goodness for WPSD and for your uncle/physician who recognized the psychological impacts and recommended WPSD to your mom. Even today, many doctors would not recommend a Deaf school.
What makes you think she doesn't know how to sign? She was talking to hearing people and there was an interpreter there for the Deaf people present, for the hearing interviewer and her first language is English. It would be better for her to talk and be interpreted then to sign and speak English; since it is two languages both languages suffer when you do that. The hearing parents don't seem to know enough sign language for her to have signed all that to them and have them understand it.
I don't see what the big deal is about teaching a kid oral language and ASL at the same time. There's nothing wrong with raising a kid bilingual. People do it with other languages all the time. I think people who advocate against it just do so because they're to lazy to learn ASL and teach it and they don't want others to have to put in the work either. Some deaf adults or older kids who got cochlear implants later in life really struggle with auditory processing because their brain never learned how to absorb spoken words. I don't know why that's such a shock to so many people. When I was in sixth grade in the 90's, I had a new girl in my class who had a cochlear implant. I don't know how old she was when she got it, but she was born deaf and didn't get it for at least several years, I imagine probably around five or older. She was eleven at the time. She would try so hard to communicate. But whenever she talked all that came out was incomprehensible gibberish. She would get so frustrated. It was like she thought she was speaking normally. She couldn't understand why these sounds that were coming out of her mouth couldn't be understood by anyone. And she couldn't understand anyone one else either. Every day at lunch, I would see her calling her mom on the pay phone outside the cafeteria, always adjusting the volume button as high as it would go. I used to wonder how she could possibly be having any kind of meaningful conversation on a phone. She left my school after that, probably to go to a deaf school, I imagine. I wouldn't be surprised if she just said the hell with using the implant, (or at least trying to communicate by talking,) and just switched to ASL. If that was the case, I wouldn't blame her. But this was 25 years ago, so who knows. I think she could hear just fine with the implant, but it was just her brain that was the problem because of the early language deprivation. I think people don't address this issue because they don't want to do the work.
Elon Musk said “What’s the point of sign language in a video if you have substitutes? Am I missing something?” He is right because most deaf people couldn’t understand that closed captioning “illiteracy”. ASL is not great to teach deaf children or a bad education because they struggle how to read sentences. I am still unhappy if ASL exists in some public schools except deaf schools. Hopefully, cued speech will teach them instead in the future. Sigh poor deaf children 😢 STOP TEACHING SIGN LANGUAGE. CUED SPEECH IS THE BEST CHOICE INSTEAD!

Or you can provide access to the language of the family! Then the child can learn and grow and actually have relationships with their home and community. ALL the research shows that kids who use spoken language read and do better in school than those who use ASL. When kids are identified early, fit with hearing technology, and given early intervention, the VAST majority develop age appropriate listening and spoken language skills. Deaf kids who learn ASL do not have access to fluent language for YEARS because their families don't know or use ASL. They miss out on fluent language, incedental learning, and their parents don't have the skills to have even a basic conversation with them. Just like it isn't ok for the deaf child to only know a few words, a child can't learn if their parents only know a handful of signs.
