#deafkids
Parents of #deafkids need to be careful of this, too. Mom Tyanna Meyers put it perfectly: "Your grief over your child's Deafness should never outweigh their joy in being Deaf."
I get these fact-checks re tylenol/Autism lawsuit but what is very much needed is messaging of "If you think your kids' autism diagnosis is that devastating, please seek help before your child feels the effect of your anti-autism views."

Same goes for #deafkids: look at how the interpreters, TODs, OTs and PTs are treated. Administrations that don't value their work don't value your kid.
Which is why I used to advise parents trying to find appropriate educational environments for their autistic kids to pay attention to how OTs are treated. If OTs r forced to work w/ kids in a stairwell (wish I were kidding, but I’m not) rather than a properly set up sensory gym, that’s a HUGE 🚩.

Same goes for LSL / oralism. It can utterly subsume all other learning and social experience for #deafkids, creating huge holes even when it doesn't result in language deprivation.
People who have had social skills training often are afraid to say no, or assert a boundary. Also passing demands impose tremendous opportunity costs. Kasari said that 40 hrs of ABA/week is essentially a full-time job for a three year old, and crowds out other opportunities.

I have a newsletter for parents of #deafkids and professionals. Increasingly concerned with countering Trump's fuckery, but also featuring fun stuff like good kid's books for ASL beginners. Check out buttondown.com/will_fertman to subscribe and read the archives.

This is the start of something very important. Parents of #deafkids quickly learn that qualified professionals—even in areas like speech-language pathology or deaf education, are thin on the ground and hard to find.

Imagine if doctors could write "learn ASL" on a script pad and insurance companies would pay for it... #deafkids

Doctors are writing "social prescriptions" to get people engaged with nature, art, movement and volunteering. Research shows it can help with mental health, chronic disease and dementia.
With social prescribing, hanging out, movement and arts are doctor's order

When you have #deafkids, sometimes you want educational, conceptually-accurate and language building #ASL videos like @atomichands.bsky.social.

And sometimes you need wordless Saturday morning bubble-gum that can be viewed without subtitles: willfertman.com/resources-fo...

that Deafkids album & Pomegranates from Finders Keepers are special records, bless you- I will now be going round saying things like I do find Brazil to be at the apex of Latin American psych-punk & the 60s/70s were for me the great decades of Iranian pop-funk, like a total charlatan - thanks!

This is the same logic school administrators use to deny #deafkids support.

"Oh, they're getting good grades now. They don't need their interpreter anymore!"
“You have made progress.”
“You are not a danger to yourself or others.”

The denial letter from Geneva Moore’s insurer directly contradicted her therapist’s words. Cut off from her treatment program, Moore slid into a monthslong downward spiral.

(Published Dec. 2024)
Her Mental Health Treatment Was Helping. That’s Why Insurance Cut Off Her Coverage.
Providers, patients and even some federal judges say progress-based insurance denials harm patients at key moments of mental health treatment.

So, parents of #deafkids, we're now in the middle of a struggle for the rights of our children (and everyone else) in America. We do not do this alone. We support #deaf and #disability activists and organizations fighting to keep our children's future alive...
I and many others warned that the anti-CRT, anti-DEI propaganda campaign that so many embraced or down played was always about creating the narrative for and paving the way for a larger attack on civil rights. We are here.
Breaking: DOJ freezes all cases in civil rights division. "It’s unprecedented. We’ve never seen this before at this scale with any transfer of power, regardless of the ideology of any incoming president or administration." Story w/ @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
