[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

What you described as happening at your school fo rthe deaf happens
in mainstreaming programs as well. Any agency that abuses the people
,especially those it is meant to serve is scum as you say. There are
some extraordinarily fine mainstreaming programs that don't ignore
the multi-needs of their deaf students and are models of what a real
mainstreaming program should be. There are some extraordinary schools
for the deaf that do not ignore the lulti-needs of their students and
are models of what a real school for the deaf should be like. Don't
close your mind to one or the other on a wholesale stereotyped basis,
there are exceptions.
