In Australia the cochlear implant has become so popular that a medical view of deafness is being reinforced. Petitions like this I hope will make people realise that there is a great need for sign language in education even if the child has a cochlear. How much better is it for a child to begin life with a language (sign) than spend hours and hours learning to speak.
