					<description>Greeting. Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.
I am from Zaire and , too, and now am writing in English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: &quot;Last, after the rose-colored results, we find to help them to say us the resources in collateral that they draw when wanting particular.&quot;

Waiting for a reply :-D, Skye.</description>

					<description>Good Day. Many people weigh the guilt they will feel against the pleasure of the forbidden action they want to take.
I am from Senegal and learning to speak English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: &quot;These misassignments are all trained to as ground.&quot;

					<description>Awesome Article. Judy Kegl is a professor of mine and I have heard her lecture about this a few times. I even got to watch a video of when ISN was being developed. It is awesome. If you ever get a chance to hear Judy speak on this topic, I highly reccommend it.</description>

					<description>I am the parient of Two Deaf Blind girls ages 13 and 9 and it takes my wife and I everything in our power to fight for them. The system is failing our disabled children in school. we live in Virgina Beach. Deaf Blind children need communication or they will NEVER learn. Hand under Hand has been Great for our girls but the school resist any suggestions we make.  how sad it is to stick our kids in a black hole because of the schools low expectations. Thanks for letting me Vent.</description>

					<description>I'm an intervener in Vancouver BC, and I was really happy to see this article. The difficulty for deaf-blind people is the amount of information about their environment that they don't get (we tend to refer to deaf-blindness as an &quot;information-gathering disability&quot;), which hearing/sighted people - &lt;b&gt;and&lt;/b&gt; blind hearing &lt;b&gt;and&lt;/b&gt; deaf sighted people - take for granted.

Imagine that you're a kid in class and your friend throws an eraser at the teacher. You'll pretty quickly hear and/or see your friend getting in trouble from the teacher - but not if you're deaf-blind, unless someone tells you.

Everything that you learned by seeing, or hearing, things happen around you just isn't there for deaf-blind people.

For those who are involved with deaf-blind children, I implore you, I beg you, I entreat you, do anything and everything you possibly can to get as much language into that child before he/she hits puberty as you can. Be it ASL (although it will have to be dumbed-down a bit, usually, as it's hard for deaf-blind people to pick up the facial grammar of ASL because usually they can't see it), hand-under-hand signing, picture-symbols for kids who have residual vision, two-hand manual alphabet in the hand, Braille-typing on the fingers as they do in Japan sometimes... &lt;b&gt;whatever it takes&lt;/b&gt;, you need to stuff that kid's mind with language all day, every day, via every channel you can think of.</description>
