Using sign to give kids a voice Lin Ya-hsiu, a participant in the Keep Walking program, is upset that parents are asking their hearing-impaired kids to "learn to speak like 'normal' people, and not to learn to sign." Chiu Man-ying, a Ministry of Education sign-language trainer and teacher at the Taipei School for the Hearing Impaired (TSHI), echoes Lin's view.
讓手語帶孩子走出寂靜參加「Keep Walking 夢想資助計畫」的林亞秀，很感慨家有聽障兒的父母「要孩子學正常人說話，不要學手語」的心態；教育部培育手語翻譯員講師、台北市啟聰學校老師邱滿英也呼應林亞秀的觀察。
