Not only should all babies learn ASL from birth, but the government should make medical professionals aware of the benefits of ASL and pay for ASL classes for parents of Deaf children. Every child deserves to begin life in a language rich environment.

thx John! Your statement is valid and true. At young, I was delayed becuz my parents chose AVT but it didnt work. Had no linguistic skill til my 5th birthday, finally acquired my birthright language, the ASL! I remember being embarrassed when school adm. planned my graduation by age 21. I was fortunate, motivation and ASL kept me going and left HS 2 yrs earlier!
also I worked w/ Deaf consumers at one of social service offices, 75% of caseload had from primer to 4th grade reading/writing skills. I tracked their educational bkgd. All of them began their education through oralism method that set them to fail, gave their parents a false hope. They cried at IEP meetings, felt regretful for making a wrong choice. No child should ever be deprived of their natural birthright language, the ASL and has a right to equal access of BiLingual Edu (ASL/English).

Thank you Aguabo,
Many people like yourself and me have gone through experience of our innocent parents getting the wrong, misguided information from organizations and people that have no idea what is like to be Deaf.
Keep on with this broadcasting of our experience and encourage many others that have the same experience to the society via YouTube.

MizzReader,
Sorry that I was late but since I learned ASL at the age of 19, it is possible that your child will catch up for sure. It is all about positive attitude for your Deaf child to succeed.
And also, it would help a ton if your testimonial will be documented for other parents to learn your experience of wishing that you had learned sooner.
But due to AGBell's domination, with heavy donation, we lose, AGBell have money to influence Congress how Deaf people should learn in Education.
