Dr. Grant B. Bitter

Videos of Dr. Grant B. Bitter 

The videos of Dr. Grant B. Bitter were discovered at my work. Thanks to the team of interpreters, especially Julie Hesterman Smith, who spent hours listening and developing the caption transcripts for those videos.

Please note that every effort was made to produce accurate captioning, although there likely are some minor errors due to the low quality of the video and the difficulty understanding some of the panel members.​
​
If you are curious about the oral participants’ educational background, go to the “Controversies Surrounding Communication/Educational Method and Educational Placement Regarding Interpretation of “Least Restrictive Environment” manuscript under "The Evolution of Deaf Education in Utah" webpage.

​Jodi Becker Kinner 

Includes interviews conducted by oral deaf education advocate and U of U instructor, Dr. Bitter with Arthur Simon, Sue DeHaan, Elaine. Includes questions about each individual's educational background. ​

Provides perspectives from deaf individuals who primarily communicate through speech and speech reading on situations when they would utilize an interpreter or other supports i.e. note taker. Dr. Bitter moderates the discussion at the University of Utah in 1983.

This video was filmed in Dr. Grant Bitter's Special Education 540 class, in May 1987. There is a panel of deaf individuals discussing their preferences regarding speech reading and oral interpreting. 

This video was recorded in May 1987 at the University of Utah in ED 540. Instructor Dr. Grant Bitter facilitates a panel of deaf adults discussing their educational background, speech reading, and preferences regarding oral interpreters.
