Oralism Vs. Signing, Part II

I would like to add a few more thoughts to my last posting, on oralism vs. signing.

For parents of DHH children, and those interested in how or why DHH people choose the method of communication they want, there are a lot of factors that come into play.

First of all, I believe I introduced the multiple intelligences theory, which I have not completely covered yet in full.  It can go a long way in explaining how a choice is made. I need to explain this, because so many people have asked me why DHH people have so many different ways of communicating.

So in the next posting, I’m going to review and explain more of the multiple intelligences theory, because I believe quite strongly it shows better than any other way how the choice is made by DHH people.

And somewhere along the way, I’ve GOT to give some improve literacy rates information, which I promised eons ago. I believe very strongly we need to get more people to read well. It’s good for deaf people, and good for readers, and good for writers, who want business.

Adios until next time, hopefully tomorrow.
