Deaf Bilingual Coalition Indiana Rally at Purdue University




Join this very important rally in support of ASL acquisition for Deaf Babies and Children outside of "The Indiana Conference on Listening and Spoken Language" at PU on Friday & Saturday, Nov. 30 - Dec 1, from 10am - 4pm.

Why? Deaf Infants and Children are being denied access to ASL at an alarming rate. Alexander Graham Bell Organization supports Auditory Verbal Therapy Programs all around the USA promoting listening and speech without the use of sign language.
