@ProfKeefe great chat everyone-thanks for all the insight and great discussion. see you all next week! #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@hannahjshin @KristaSumski unfortunately there is still this stigma around specialized schools that they cannot be considered #LRE #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@KristaSumski was thinking that. i thnk #LRE should depend on individual's needs, not a societal view of what is should be #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@jaclyncrocker7 agreed! staff hardly gets training for any AT or tech and we can't properly help students succeed. #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@nhughes91 i think it is available, but not widely. i feel as though there could be more #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@Saraheliz2388 or what if u had CI young and never got a chance to experience a culture you were born into? #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@jackie22lesleyu @pamason2 right. child has 0 say in future. heathers father enjoys being in deaf comm. what if he had surgey young? #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@ProfKeefe i feel as though they should have a voice in all. its their body & their life to live. who are we to say how to do so? #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@jackie22lesleyu @dvekemanLU @pamason2 she was willing to see both sides of the "bridge" & still went with her own instincts #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@jackie22lesleyu @ProfKeefe @pamason2 @M_Brunell agreed jackie-student should have say in their own lifestyle choices #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@dvekemanLU @pamason2 yes! loved how heathers dad said in the video that he wanted to be deaf-such a great view everyone should have #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@bcourier720 i wish we had something like this when i was in school, but love that it is so common nowadays! #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@ktdigi6 i will have to talk to my school after vacation and try and reach out to her! I'm sure she'd love to visit us at LU #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@dvekemanLU @bcourier720 she was from perkins actually! she came to visit the 2nd grade class at my school. #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@bcourier720 @pamason2 @nadoocj my school does a schoolwide same/different curriculum-each grade something different-great exposure #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@pamason2 @nadoocj such a great idea-would be a fun experience for out last class.. hint hint @ProfKeefe #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@pamason2 @nadoocj we had a #deafblind learner come speak to my school! the students loved it & learned so much from her visit #6119LU

[Jessica Baird @jbairdLU]

@nhughes91 great point nathan! we use it all the time with my kids who are currently working on independent speech-such a great tool #6119LU
