Our program celebrates the American Sign Language and English bilingual child and their families. We offer a full access to language—through American Sign Language and spoken English when appropriate and when the child has specific eligibilities to receive such service. We believe in a natural approach to language—offering opportunities to play with both languages. " -Early Childhood Education program at TSD

Deafness: Where are the 90%?
Shortly after Nyle DiMarco won the coveted mirror ball a NY Times post entitled Parents of Deaf Children, Stuck in the Middle of an Argument began making the rounds on Facebook. There was a beautiful picture of Nyle DiMarco and Peta as click bait for the reader but it wasn’t an article applauding Nyle’s accomplishment, no, it was another article bemoaning the fact that an unaided, unimplanted individual is finding successes and in turn perpetuating the great divide between parents who choose sign language and parents who do not.

Webcast: Maximizing Language Acquisition: ASL and Spoken Language
This webcast provides an evidence-based rationale for supporting language acquisition in both American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken English for young children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Experienced professionals in deaf education discuss the important ingredients essential to learning language as well as common misconceptions that tend to drive language and communication practices. Designed for professionals involved in early intervention, this webcast highlights how evidence points to use of an ASL and spoken English bilingual approach (sometimes referred to as a bimodal bilingual approach) as beneficial for young children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Accompanying the webcast is a comprehensive reference list to support the information shared. References related to this webcast can be found at:
