Oral Deaf Education: An important alternative in teaching deaf children Parents of deaf and hearing impaired children are encouraged to view the one-hour video Dreams Spoken Here available free from your physician or audiologist in the Division of Audiology and Speech Pathology, or by calling 1-877-ORALDEAF or visiting the Oral Deaf Education web site Learning Your Child Is Deaf or Severely Hearing Impaired Every parent has dreams for their child. When they learn their child is deaf, these dreams can be shattered. Parents initially feel shock, grief, confusion and devastation. But for parents who want their children to listen and speak, there is hope. Deaf Children Can Learn to Listen and Speak There are degrees of hearing loss, and many deaf and hearing impaired children have some residual hearing. Incredible advances in technology, in part achieved by research in this department , now build on this residual hearing so that children who wear hearing aids or cochlear implants can in fact learn to listen and speak. Choosing Oral Deaf Education Parents are increasingly choosing to teach their children to speak rather than use sign language as their method of communicating. This critical decision is perhaps the most important choice that parents of a hearing impaired child will make, as it sets the ground for the child’s future.

Through this project they've developed a national network for sharing, via video conferences, best practices for the education of students who are deaf and hard-of-hearing (d/hh). The project connects pre-service teachers with master teachers - the top educators for the deaf around the country - and through the use of video communications, the master teachers mentor students who are in the process of completing undergraduate and graduate programs in deaf education as well as teachers already working in the field. Dr. Johnson sees the need for this type of mentoring as urgent, given the "realities divide" he's observed across the nation between what is taught in teacher preparation programs and how teachers actually teach in K-12 settings.

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... E > Education of the Deaf and Dumb A B C D ... Z Education of the Deaf and Dumb dumb , it is customary to speak of human beings who do not hear and speak as deaf-mutes, a term which implies that they are silent, but not necessarily incapable of speaking. Brute animals that are deaf, are deaf and dumb; the little child, before it has learned to speak, is mute, but not dumb. There are found individuals who can hear, but cannot speak. To such may be applied the term dumb , inasmuch as they are either destitute of the power of speech or are unwilling to speak and are lacking in intelligence. Such children are generally found to be more or less idiotic. On account of the great progress made, especially during the last century, in the education of deaf-mutes, by which a large percentage are taught to speak, the term mute HISTORY To instruct the deaf, no art can ever reach, No care improve them, and no wisdom teach. Greek and Roman poets and philosophers classified them with defectives, and the Justinian Code abridged their civil rights. In the family they were considered a disgrace, or were looked upon as a useless burden and kept in isolation. It is a bright page in the New Testament which narrates the kindness of our Divine Lord, who, doing good to all, did not forget the deaf and dumb. After His example, the Church has extended its charity to this afflicted class, and has led the way in opening up for them other channels of thought in place of the hearing faculty. The statement met with in literature connected with the education of the deaf, that the real history of deaf-mute instruction must be considered as dating from the Reformation, is the old fallacy of

How to Become a Teacher of the Deaf Frequently Asked Questions: Where can I earn my degree in Deaf Education? Why is Deaf Education a special area of teaching? Where do Teachers of the Deaf work? What challenges do families with deaf children face? ... How can I find out more? Where can I earn my degree in Deaf Education? Many colleges and universities offer degrees in Deaf Education, at Bachelor's or Master's degree levels. It is advisable to earn a degree from program accredited by the Council on Education of the Deaf (CED) . To find a CED accredited program in your area, check this National Directory of Deaf Education Teacher Preparation Programs Why is Deaf Education a special area of teaching? Ninety percent of Deaf children are born into hearing families, and most are not diagnosed as deaf until age 2-5 years old. They tend to have little to no language exposure (spoken OR signed) during their first years of life, causing a language development delay. Learning to read and write standard English is often a struggle for deaf students. Deaf children (especially those with physical and mental disabilities ) need direct instruction beginning as early as possible in order to teach them language and literacy skills. Several educational philosophies are currently being used to teach deaf students:

In all likelihood, someone will surely disagree with something in some portion of this article. It is a natural consequence of presenting a number of, oftentimes, conflicting methods. I have tried to be thorough with all the methods that I have covered. This article, however comprehensive, cannot cover all the information that is available. I have provided a list of resources for your continued education. THE MANUAL/ORAL CONTROVERSY These dedicated men established the Hartford school, later known as the American School for the Deaf in 1817. The method used in the School was sign language. During the next sixty-three years, sign language was the order of the day. About one half of all teachers of the deaf were deaf themselves and a number of deaf individuals established their own schools. During this golden era of signed deaf education, Congress established the National Deaf Mute College in 1864. Today, this institution is known as Gallaudet University. However, the trend toward using sign language to educate the deaf changed after the Conference of Milan.

The Deaf Resource Library (in ASL: D-R-L or DEAF-LIBRARY; http://www.deaflibrary.org ) is a virtual library an online collection of reference material and links intended to educate and inform people about Deaf cultures in Japan and the United States; as well as deaf and hard of hearing related topics. While I have a bias towards cultural Deaf models, I am also trying to include more material about hard of hearing issues as well. The information is collected here as a service to the Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing communities. I gladly welcome contributions to this online library by e-mail (contributions @ deaflibrary.org). However, I am unfortunately not able to respond to e-mailed questions about Deaf culture or Deaf society. I wish that I could, but I would be swamped with requests and my own students and research have to take precedence. I would kindly suggest asking the research librarian at your local college for assistance. Please note that in general, I will not even bother to respond to questions for term papers and take home exams. Your teacher is testing you, not me.

Our educational programs include our Family School, primarily for children in the birth to three age range, and our School program which consists of a Preschool for children ages 3 to 5 years and Elementary Level for children 6 to 11 years of age. Our focus is on teaching the children spoken language as well as all the school subjects that normal-hearing children typically learn in elementary school. Our goal is for the children to mainstream into schools with their hearing age mates as soon as they have acquired the skills to compete successfully. FAMILY SCHOOL We know that educating a child is a family affair, and this is even more true for a deaf child. We provide programs that benefit all family members, including fathers, mothers, grandparents, brothers and sisters, and even extended family members. Working together, we develop activities, seminars, social events and learning experiences. We invite the whole family to join with us in helping each child to succeed. PARENT / INFANT PROGRAM Getting started early is the key to success : At the Moog Center we start teaching deaf children to talk as soon as we find out about the child's hearing loss. Before children are old enough to go to school, we teach parents how to help their children learn to talk.

Correspondence from China: Teaching English to the Deaf February 2004 Hello again Alistair, Galloway, A. (2000) Deaf Children in China. P 49. Washington, D.C: Gallaudet University Press. I am currently teaching at Beijing Union University's College of Special Education, English/ASL to Deaf learners and the Sociology of Deafness and Disability to teacher education students (hearing). Yours for progress, Lan Qing (Jennifer McLean) Stakeholders Position on the teaching of English to Deaf Learners in China We, the undersigned, as legitimate stakeholders in Deaf education and cultural development in China, assume the following position on the teaching of English to Chinese Deaf learners. 1. Given that the English language is a mandatory part of the National curriculum and given the potential socio-economic significance of English language learning for the developing world, we assert that optimum methods should be employed to provide fair opportunities for Deaf learners to access the English language, and 2. that those methods be informed by sound, relevant, research in teaching practices and outcomes appropriate for Deaf learners, and/or be inferred by relevant a priori research in the absence of directly obtainable data.

Understanding the Natural Aural Approach > Principles A Statement of Principles (issued 1995, revised 2001) The Natural Aural Approach is an approach to the education of deaf children which uses children's residual hearing as the medium of learning through which they are enabled to acquire speech and language in a similar manner to hearing children, albeit, often at a slower rate. Through this approach, deaf children can acquire fluent spoken language and achieve educationally at similar levels to normally hearing children. The Approach is a unique methodology which incorporates current knowledge from the disciplines of audiology and child language acquisition. It re-defines the specialist teacher's role in promoting the development of spoken language in deaf children. Above all, it establishes high expectations for the achievements of severely and profoundly deaf children in the essential areas of language, speech and literacy - the three core attributes of child development which are essential to the realisation of personal potential. The deaf child is recognised, first and foremost, as a child with the same learning potential as other children, capable of undertaking the same tasks and achieving the same goals. The inequalities of achievement which exist between hearing and deaf children have more to do with the inadequacies of experience and learning opportunities than with the obstacles presented by the hearing loss itself.
