Lesson 14 Video:

I'm happy to see that she has developed into such a intelligent happy young lady. I originally believed she should have received the cochlear implant and I stand by my original opinion. She is immersed in both worlds and I think thats really the best option. Learning to sign and hear is great because then your not limited to one side of communication.

Lesson 14 Culture:

Mainstream: They go to the same school as hearing children and may be provided an interpreter and also a IEP (Individual Education Plan) that ensures you are provided things that assist you in receiving your education.

Residential schools: Learning is tailored to the needs of deaf or hard of hearing.

Homeschool or virtual: Parents can be a part of their child's education and create conditions to better their child's learning.


I believe mainstream is the route I would choose. I believe that education shouldn't be separated if it can be helped. It depends on the issue, I understand for some why its necessary for them to be in a different environment but if I am the way I am except for loss of hearing, I would want to be mainstream. I would want to learn about deaf culture and meet others who are deaf and experience that life, but I also know that the majority of people are hearing and I need to immerse myself into that lifestyle because ultimately, in the future I don't want to have to rely on someone else to do things. If I work harder when I am younger and adapt to that lifestyle I  would feel like I don't have limits.

Lesson 14 Grammar:

-By altering the movement of a sign you change the meaning and indicate the action is done on a regular basis (regularity).

-Duration refers to the inflection of the verb where you modify the production of the verb to show the action occurs over a period of time. 


-Habituality refers to inflection of a verb where you modify the production of a time sign to indicate an ongoing schedule.
