My first job as a trained professional was working as a diagnostic teacher in an oral deaf education school. Over the course of my career, the influence of the signing deaf community on the field of deaf education has waxed and waned. Because of the incredible advances in technology (cochlear implants, excellent hearing aids, better prescriptives), deaf children today have far better chances of developing normal speech and language through audition. I am pleased to post a link to a website that provides extensive information about careers in oral deaf education:Careers in Oral Deaf Education
Some of my best friends are deaf people - signers and talkers - and it has been a joy to experience the newly opened world of communication (the Internet, texting on cell phones) with them! Their futures keep getting brighter and brighter!
