I wish I could upvote this more ! Children need complete access to a language . If you want your child to speak that is fine but they shouldn ' t be forced to communicate through English alone when they do not have total access to the language . ASL is a natural language and it is very important to start young and keep going . Continue using ASL even if you do want your child to speak or have a CI . Learning ASL will not hinder her ability to learn English or the ability to speak . These organizations are fantastic and great resources ! This is the some of the best advice I ' ve seen ! <| sep |> Nice back peddling <| sep |> If I was on the West coast and wanted to catch the 4 pm PT games , I ' d just watch the beginning of the game on my phone as I ' m leaving work or in the car . It ' s a lot more detrimental if you ' re on the East coast trying to follow late WC games . It ' s just too damn late to be up on a weekday .
