Keri and Raven's Peer Review


 * We are editing the 'Hearing Loss' page as well and were planning to restructure the format and change a lot of the terminology that seems biased towards the medical perspective of Deafness. If you want to collaborate on that part and share ideas that could be really helpful for the three of us! We posted our ideas about how we can make these terms more neutral on Keri's sandbox.


 * I really like how you plan to add all of the information about education specifically to this page. I think it is very important to make all of the complexities and variations of Deaf Ed known, especially on a place like wikipedia, where parents may look for a general overview and idea of what the education system could potentially look like for their child.


 * It is also really smart to include post-secondary education as well because it is such a huge part of the whole system, but I feel like it does not get recognized when Deaf Ed is being specifically discussed.


 * For the different school settings (residential and integration) will you link to other wiki pages that explain more? It may be nice to link to some well known examples of these type of schools if they have a page (for example- linking to the TLC page-- or any other school-- for Bi-Bi : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Learning_Center_for_the_Deaf or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_schools_for_the_deaf#Deaf_residential_schools). The same goes for inclusion or mainstream schools as well, as it may be a good starting point for people to explore all of the options.


 * I know you mentioned about finding more resources about residential schools... I found one article that talks about how residential schools play an important role for Deaf identity development (but it is a study based in Greece: https://academic.oup.com/jdsde/article/11/4/477/408089). Hopefully this can be some help to you, or serve as a jumping point for you to find articles similarly related!


 * Overall, I think how you decided to format the page is very cohesive and easy to follow. You have good information and I'm looking forward to reading your page!

Suggestions
Nice work so far! You might consider not using the word "institutional" or "institutionalized" as I think lots of people have negative associations with that word (e.g., being put in a mental institution or jail). You might think about calling these schools "schools that specialize exclusively in deaf education" or something like that. I don't think you mean residential necessarily either- these programs may or may not have dorms. Be mindful that programs like Clarke School fit the criteria as you have it defined, so be careful about your definition.

You might also consider not using the word "integration" because who wouldn't want their child to be integrated. A mainstream program may or may not really integrate a deaf child. Perhaps just use "mainstream"?Ncaselli (talk) 01:05, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
