Chapter 19 :)

Chapter 19 - Total Communication                                                                                            

Much like chapter 18, chapter 19 was packed full of information. I have read, and reread this chapter and I am still not positive that I have completely grasped the concept. Please feel free to comment and correct me if I have interpreted the vocabulary in this chapter incorrectly. 
Chapter 19 focused on three types of communication, total communication (TC), simultaneous communication, and Bilingual; Bi-cultural approach. Total communication is a method of Deaf education that can incorporate multiple aspects of communication. TC can include Sign Language, written language, sounds, pictures, lip reading, and/ or Fingerspelling. Total Communication can be tailored to the individual needs of the child. 
Simultaneous communication is when the individual Signs while talking. The book mentions that this simultaneous communication is difficult and does not usually produce positive results. A Bilingual Bi-Cultural approach is a newer trend in Deaf education, this method uses ASL to teach English.
I think these three methods are easily confused because they all methods of deaf education. Each method incorporated some sort of outside source that stems from another language.  I would think that unless the person is involved with Deaf Education, these practices sound so similar and could be easily confused and meshed.
