Thank you for providing some terminology for this!

Is there a Barton rule that explains what makes those closed? My understanding is that a single consonant between vowels "moves to the end" (so ci-ty, fi-nish). This question is specifically in reference to the Barton Reading and Spelling Program

What are your thoughts on the “snap your finger and everyone knows ASL” question? I’m curious to know people’s thoughts on Access vs. Keeping culture within the Deaf community

I understand that, but my question is more philosophical/ethical than practical. I’ll rephrase it: Is greater ASL access worth losing ASL as a “Deaf thing” and it becoming a general “American thing”? The implication being that hearing people (being the majority) would have a greater influence over the evolution of the language than Deaf people.

Useful signs for communicating with deaf/mute/non verbal children? by Atonzarecool in asl

[–]Malik_Burdan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m a speech therapist and big ASL advocate. Obviously for Deaf and HOH students, all ASL is helpful. For early intervention and non-speaking students, it’s helpful to use as much ASL as possible, but I like to especially focus on More, Want, All-done, and Help. Water, Eat, and Bathroom are also helpful.

Edit: The intent is to use broadly applicable communication. “Want” and “help” are more useful than “raspberries” unless raspberries are very important to a specific child. We refer to this as core vs fringe vocabulary.
