I agree.Page 47 BALTIMORE; - ITEM 20 MRS. OWENS: (SHE GOES TO EACH OP THE PUPILS AND ASKS THEM TO SAY "MOTHER". THEY HAVE READ HER LIPS AND EACH CHILD, IN TURN, ATTEMPTS TO SAY "MOTHER". BY THIS DEMONSTRATION WE REALIZE THE SPEECH DIFFICULTIES INHERENT IN DEAF CHILDREN). SHE THEN TURNS TO THE ADULTS AND SPEAKS TO The children have a hearing loss THEM. ranging from 50 to 95 percent. That's why they speak that way. You saw them dance but they did not hear the music. They felt the music. They felt vibrations from the piano going through the floor, Seems just like an or- dinary oak floor, but it's built like a suspension bridge, and under it is seven inches of felt and rubber. The floor actually vibrates. Music and rhythm is used not only for therapeutic reasons but opens a door that otherwise might remain shut. We also teach them to read our lips and I am sure that in time, they can read yours.
