Document Summary

Fix what is wrong: years ago, poor water in ears to try get rid of deaf. Deaf and hearing are separate in society. Idea: common in deaf children that are born to hearing parents. Focused on making them normal" rather than your language needs. Rejection and result of tree #1, the language is still being ignored. Deaf people don"t think that they"re broken. Deaf people have pride in who they are. Deaf people have pride in their culture. The problem is that the two cultures are separate. You are who you are and i accept that. Easier to learn a l2 if you have a strong l1. Before you"re allowed to get a cochlear implant first all your close circle of friends and family have to learn ssl before you can get a cochlear implant. Gives them a choice/chance to experience a strong l2.
