Also, my opinion is that the word "audism" is one of overused words, with an intent to control deaf people... deaf people accusing other deaf people of audism. Like when my husband and I decided to mainstream our deaf son, we were accused of audism. When we asked that the Bi Bi deaf school to provide speech therapy, we were judged as audists. So forth. So I am like... we really don't know what audism means, same as we don't really know what deafism means. It is how we approach life and make the best of it for our children.<BR/><BR/>It is good to know what "ism"s are, but take care not to abuse "isms" for the personal gain. Use it strictly for good reason... like in the employment.Karen Mayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08489062601774194183noreply@blogger.com
