At age 5 I was enrolled into Davison School of Speech in Decatur, Georgia. Using hand gestures was forbidden. Whoever got caught using hand gestures got punished. Punishments were severe. Standing in a corner with hands in back for an hour. Turn around, get an extra 30 minutes. There were no second chances. We all became obedient from the headstart. We hid and used hand gestures. It was scary. This type of life...espionage-styled atmosphere and sneaking around in the name of Freedom became Deaf Children's well known way of life before the age of 6 and before the age of 10. We, the Deaf Children of all centuries will always find a way to use hand gestures. The hand gestures we used at Davison School of Speech was not ASL. Students before us invented it and we carried it on. AG, Volta Bureau and other organizations against ASL and all forms of hand gestures lost the war since Time began. It is time for these organizations to meld with the DEAF WORLD. Once they meld, wonderful things............amazing acceleration in education. I talk Engish. I write English. I sign ASL which has no effect on my English the tinest bit. I am a living proof against any theory claiming a Deaf Person cannot talk if allowed to use ASL. I can contacted through my e mail address Wandadaxx1@aol.com for exhibition and for speaker engagements. I will talk for everyone to hear my voice and my speech. Stanford University tested my hearing when I was a small child. The conclusion: Unknown. It is not hereditary. No one can stop small Deaf Children from inventing hand gestures for the sake of a freedom to use total communications. To prevent Deaf Children from using hand gestures resulting corporal punishments is a state of totalitarianism in existence in the United States of America. The state of totalitarianism for Deaf Children AND for Deaf Adults has always existed in the United States of America. I was born with nerve deafness.
