Life print has a list of 100 signs they feel are the top 100 used signs. It may be a good place to start.

Get the diagnosis as soon as possible, choose what amplification (if any) you'd like for him and then contact ChildLink 215.985.2500. They will do a formal assessment and give you two choices for therapies. PA school for the deaf and Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech. Choose PSD and they...

I am hearing and I wish I could spend even a day with the exact loss my daughter has. I would understand more what she deals with and what it's like.

The only girl that's worth it...that's who :) Welcome!

So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend!

Okay, I get it now. I haven't seen her around and the "Free Jillio" thing was a bit worrisome. I hope this thread isn't treading up old drama. That was not my intention.
