For more than a century, doctor and teacher had typically advised parents not to allow their deaf children to learn sign language and it would impede their children;s progress toward English skill.
Audism: They discriminating against someone because they are deaf.

What it is oralism?
Deaf people can communicate with hearing people that do not know ASL thus they can be apart of the hearing community.
Speech Therapy which meaning a lot of sounding out words correctly, and lip reading skills.
It is not their native language and because they cannot hear. It is difficult and frustrating to learn.
Deaf people are visual people, so ASL is their natural language.
One way is that deaf people only learn oralism then they can communicate with hearing people as equality.
Oralism is the system of teaching deaf people to communicate by the use of speech and lip-reading than sign language
