Unit 2 Flashcards
The Great Debate in America
In one corner:
- Alexander Graham Bell
- Eugenics movement
- Oral communication
In the other:
- Edward Miner Gallaudet
- “Champion of deaf people”
- Sign language
Alexander Graham Bell
- both Bell’s wife and mother were deaf, which influence his work
- He experimented with devices which lead him to getting patent on telephone
- Eugenics: encouraging certain populations not to reproduce to weed out certain characteristics
Edward Miner Gallaudet
- president of Gallaudet, and other things that I didn’t listen to
- Recognized speech training is not for everyone but did support it
Thomas Braidwood
oral communication
Laurent Clerc
manual communication; very helpful, wanted to teach other people
Thomas Gallaudet
manual communication
Alexander Graham Bell*
oralism
Late 1960s
total communication (talking and signing)
Communication Options
- family decision
- provide them w/ facts
(total comm. vs ASL) - provide w/ resources and how to find them
How were cochlear implants originally judged?
negatively
Communication Choices
- ASL
- Manually Coded English
- Total Communication
- Cued speech
- Auditory oral
- auditory verbal
Influences of choosing to sign or not to sign
- age of beginning tx
- intensity/longevity of tx
- commitment and expectations of teachers, parents, and tx’ists
ASL
- complete visual sign language system w/ its own syntax and grammar
- associated w/ deaf culture
- family must learn
- hearing and speech are not necessary and may even be discouraged
Is ASL derived from english
- NO! there is not an exact sign for each english word
- may have to finger spell for names and technical terms (ex/ purple fruit for plum)
Educational placements for ASL kids
- bilingual-bicultural
- illinois school for the deaf
- regular ed classroom w/ ASL interpreter
bilingual/bicultural model
read/write english as a second language… sign as first
manually coded english
- signed english
- seeing essential english (SEE 1 and SEE 2)
- mainly invented for educational purposes to get morphological and syntactical something
- ## sign correlates to each word
pigeoned
combines ASL and exact sign english
- drops all articles but word order is the same
total communication
- combines manually coded english and speech
- accepts or encourages use of listening devices
- difficult to implement
- at risk for poor morphology/syntax
- articles, past tense and plurality may be omitted
typical placement for total communication kids
- public schools in america
- regular ed w/ sign interpreter
viseme
look similarly visually on lips
homophene
- words that look alike on lips but do not sound the same (bye, my, pie)
- key word = word
cued speech
- developed at Gallaudet
- provide visual sounds that may sound the same on the lips
- cues are not sign language, have no meaning w/o verbal context
- uses 8 hand shapes and 4 different movements around the mouth
educational placements for cued speech kiddos
- READ educational center in Mt. Prospect, Illinois
- regular program w/ cued speech translator
- some total communication and auditory oral programs incorporate cued speech
visual phonics
- was developed in 1982
- uses combination of tactile, kinesthetic, visual, and auditory feedback to develop phonemic awareness, speech production, and reading skills
- made to improve phonemic awareness, develop reading
- not a means of communication
- typically used in early elementary
- each sign also has a written representation
(sun ~+n)
Things to consider in regard to modality choice
- parents decide how child will comm.
- we give them resources
- chose a “correct” choice for the family
- look at cognitive abilities
- resources in the area of the pt
- involvement of parent
- ability for parent to learn alternative comm
- peer interactions
- residual hearing
- medical constraints
- vision
- be sure not to make parent feel bad
what is the first sense to develop
hearing
by 20 weeks gestation, babies respond to
auditory stimuli
eisenberg found that neonates can discriminate
b/w frequency and intensity
response to phonemes
occurs w/in a few weeks after birth
vowels
- long in duration
- low in frequency
- loud in intensity
- most energy in low and mid frequencies
- vowels occur below 2500 Hz
