    Help with an infant that keeps failing his hearing test

    I know I'm late getting in on this thread, but I just have to make sure this is here for INSURANCE INFORMATION PURPOSES. Health America does NOT cover cochlear implants. They simply refuse. If you really fight with them, they may but don't count on it.

    Newly deaf and in college

    If you decide that CART is what you wish to have, then you should be provided with a transcript of every class from the CART provider. If you have a CART provider that is inadequate or not of use to you: not readable notes in class, fails to provide transcript in a timely manner, not...

    children 6 and under banned from resturant

    This restaurant is close enough to me for me to go there. I agree with this restaurant owner 100%. It has been an increasing problem in my surrounding area of parents allowing their children to do whatever they want. This restaurant is free standing on the property of a golf course. The golf...

    Grandparent too involved

    I know that you posted this a long time ago, but you make sure you child doesn't have developmental delays. It is essential that you catch them if they are there earlier. If you catch them now, they could be erased and no one would even know they were there at all. If you don't catch them now...

    Three-year-old treated for alcoholism

    The worst part about this story is that alcohol is one of the few drugs that, if you are addicted, can kill you if you quit cold turkey. That is why it is harder to get an alcoholic to quit using interventions and social pressure. All of the other drugs people get hooked on, the withdrawal...

    What should a hearing impaired/deaf student look for in colleges>

    I work in western Pennsylvania and I KNOW that at least 5 colleges have experience with providing services for deaf/hh students, off the top of my very tired brain. There are social opportunities for everyone at every college. There is a significant population that uses interpreting/cart...

    Some Parents say vaccines trigger autism. But, is skipping the shots the answer?

    I have a different take on this. I grew up next to a woman who had polio as a child. She was one of the last people to contract polio before the vaccine. I knew what the consequences were of getting some of those terrible "childhood" diseases. I also watched my nephew struggle every time he...

    If you check out this company, they have a free download that can help you caption your videos. Unfortunately, I don't believe it works on streaming videos. Check it out!

    Captions in cinemas

    Anesthesia, You could request someone to provide CART for the convention, but they would not have the permission of the creator/owner of the anime to add subtitles to it. The equipment that is used to embed captions to streaming TV is not cheap, and not many people have the necessary...

    veddy veddy interesting....

    So back to the original question, A CART writer would be able to keep up with the play. It would be essential that they were given the script ahead of time and maybe able to come to a rehearsal or two before the opening night. Even if the script isn't followed religiously, they would be able to...

    DIVORCE with Children involved DO's and DON'Ts:

    I have to disagree with you. You always have the right to love your parent. Just because one of your parents is a deadbeat does not mean that you lose the right to love him. Loving a person who does nothing for you only devalues you if you take your worth from what other people give you (ie...

    "Deaf-friendly" Law Schools?

    If there is ever a mistake in your class notes it should be reported to the CART writer as soon as possible. All CART writers strive to have 100% accurate notes. I have even gone so far as to email a professor with a question when what I had didn't seem to be right. The professor had mis-spoken...

    Captions in cinemas

    There is technology available that allows the movie theater to project the captions onto a special receiver that you pick up from customer service and fits into your drink holder. It is a semi-transparent material that you can position in your field of view under the screen where your closed...

    Cart in Church Pilot Project

    My suggestion would be to look up your local Court Reporters Association, either state, or an agency. Court Reporters are the ones who are/would know where to find a CART provider. They may also be able to find a court reporter that belongs to a congregation already that is willing to provide...
