[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

-> I can't see trying to separate folks who use ASL and those
-> who are oral - that's the whole problem right there - we need
-> to work together as a team and respect others regardless
-> of whether they speak or sign.

I agree.  Many of us use ASL and are oral.  I am hearing impaired.
It is the first conference where I can openly discuss the benefit
of oral, ASL, and lipreading.  We should have an open mind, listen
to other's opinions and find solutions.  We can also give advices
about how to communicate better with both hearing impaired and
hearies.
