I looked into going to the DBC convention too, but all their informational videos were ASL only with no captions. If they want to reach hearing parents of deaf children, they will need to change this in the future!

I will be at the AG Bell Conference and can't wait. This will be my families first time. Maybe we will meet :)

And if they really want to build bridges, why can't they at least provide a transcript of their videos? So.. yes, they're saying something about police permits... that's really important to me! NOT.

From DBC's "press release"...<BR/><BR/>"The experts will also explain why morality demands that Deaf babies should not be denied American Sign Language -- regardless of whether or not hearing devices are used with the child, and regardless of whether or not speech and listening training is provided. They will also explain why the bilingual approach (ASL and English) is the most practical,

Since I'm not a fluent signer, would you be willing to provide a Cued Speech transliterator? <BR/><BR/>I certainly hope DBC would provide access for everyone. I

Guess what? It's 100% free to attend the DBC across the road. It is highly recommendation for you to see them and be able to understand what's going on!<BR/><BR/>GO there!

Oh there is a toll to cross?<BR/><BR/>Okay.<BR/><BR/>Who are we suppose to pay to cross this bridge?

Anonymous:<BR/>DBC California sent representatives to the AG Bell California State conference while hosting a rally outside the hotel. Building bridges, yes? <BR/><BR/>It is unbelievably expensive to attend the AGBELL conference in Wisconsin. Meanwhile, the DBC conference is free. With the economy the way it is, not too many of us have extra cash to splurge on a conference based on ideals that we

This "Building Bridges" idea is somewhat irritating. If DBC really wanted to build bridges, why don't THEY come to the AGBell Conference? (And I don't mean just to picket, or hand out flyers, or whatever the heck they plan on doing.) Do they think they have nothing to learn from us? Most of what they write and espouse about oral education, CIs, etc. is about 20 or more years out of date. I'm

Hope you'll go to DBC too. It's free and jam packed with amazing speakers. Great opportunity to build bridges.<BR/>S.

How much did it cost you to pay to enter AGBell convention? <BR/><BR/>How much does it cost to attend each workshop?<BR/><BR/>Do they have cued interpreters?

We'll be there! Look for the mom and dad cueing at the glacial pace to the cutest 18-month old you've ever seen.<BR/><BR/>(But by next weekend you mean two weeks from today, right?? Hope we bought our tickets for the right date!)
