Be there on Wednesday, July 25th at Gallaudet’s SAC near the Bookstore
I will be there around 8 am to 4 pm to discuss with anyone about the protest at the AGBell Conference on Auditory-Verbal Therapy and Deaf Bilingual Coalition’s mission.
And on Thursday, July 26th, we will have important discussion about the protest at the AGBell Conference on Auditory-Verbal Therapy and have T-shirts available.
Feel free to come and join in the discussion of why we need to make sure all Deaf babies have the opportunity to learn ASL in the age of 6 months likewise with many hearing babies all over the country.

For clarification, AVT is an approahc used in therapy, and is not something that is used all day long. I would say 20 minutes a day during speech. My son benefits greatly from AVT and I fought for the public school district to provide him a SLP trained in AVT and won. Kids with CI DO BENEFT from AVT. My son uses ASL with me in the home and with his deaf friends.
Going aganist AVT shows how ignorant we are and that’s embarrassing. Focus on the issue about providing deaf babies access to ASL should be the focus.
