ISD isn't biased. They offer many communication choices to their PTO (Parents/Teachers Outreach) and they often mention in their IEP meeting. I don't know where you got the information that they only provide ASL/English. They have bi-language/bicultural programs but its often parents' decisions Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416919078688141227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34959408.post-83454274855817554912012-01-25T16:34:40.194-08:002012-01-25T16:34:40.194-08:00The point is that the outreach SHOULD be providing...The point is that the outreach SHOULD be providing information and services to ALL communication modes. They aren't and they can't. They are part of ISD, which is, by definition, biased. They use and only support ASL/English. If you want other services, you have to go somewhere else. They need one place that can provide unbiased information and services to families.Miss Kat's Parentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535904035034717518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34959408.post-69875108933547906232012-01-24T18:52:32.810-08:002012-01-24T18:52:32.810-08:00Move them to where?

Spend more money that the State doesn't have the money to spend on a new center then cut funds from other areas of Education such as Art Classes and/or some of P.E courses?

They are focused on ASL/English, which is fine, but if you don't have the ability to serve ALL the students, in all languages, for free, then it needs to be addressed.Miss Kat's Parentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535904035034717518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34959408.post-36485552680334970482012-01-23T21:16:02.303-08:002012-01-23T21:16:02.303-08:00Hi Miss Kat's Parents,

And remember if you support Indiana HB 1367, it will remove these professionals that you are asking for. You are sending a message to your child that your child can never be an educator or administrator. Best approach is for you all to work with your child's future peer and have a dialogue in how to Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416919078688141227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34959408.post-22116907274482318032012-01-23T16:09:16.173-08:002012-01-23T16:09:16.173-08:00Here is my only question….can ISD provide UNBIASED...Here is my only question….can ISD provide UNBIASED services and support for ALL deaf and hard of hearing kids in Indiana, regardless of their communication language or mode? Do they provide free AVT as well as ASL? Do they teach families Cued speech if that is their choice? The law requires that someone provide an appropriate (and FREE) education for ALL deaf kids, not just those who use ASL.
