DId you notice I used quotes when I said "facts"? I don't believe what you throw out is truly factual. You may see it as such, but I do not. If I considered this argument important enough, I would take the time to find and post my own "facts" counter yours, but I frankly don't have the...

I can't believe I am getting sucked into this argument. But I feel compelled to ask what it is you are suggesting Cloggy shouldn't believe. Are you saying he shouldn't believe this?: Because if you are, then you have me totally baffled. Are you saying Cloggy shouldn't believe...

I am so sad! I didn't know this past weekend was Deaf Awareness at CP. I would have definitely taken my daughter. Humph.

Great article, Neecy! It is too bad I had to slog through three pages of arguments to get to say that, though. ;) I am printing it and adding it to my files about language development. And I am also keeping it in mind when I find myself speaking solely in one syllable words to Toes.

This may be the same video... I don't know. Listen. Listening Guide. Michael Chorost, Electronic Listener :D

I think he found my blog through HearingExchange.com. I had just registered there and the site owner added a link to my blog on her home page. The next day I had a comment from him. :D It may have helped that I had also just added a link to a video clip of him discussing his CI...

Awesome! I wish I could go. :( He commented on my blog once and I got all giddy that someone so famous actually took the time for little old me.:giggle: He is definitely a very nice guy!

:giggle: LOVE it!!!! And I CAN'T WAIT. :D

WOW! So much advice! Thank you all very, very much. :ty: :ty: :ty: I only have a minute, so I can't comment on everything just yet... but, - Columbus is also far away - 2 1/2 hours. - No, we are not rural in the least. My thought with Millridge is basically to do what Jillio...

It is not the Ohio School for the Deaf. I think that is in Cincinnati. VERY far away. The school I am referring to is Millridge. It is part of a public school system. We are also planning to start talking to the school districts in the area to find out what they can offer Erin. We are...

There is one Deaf School in our area and it is an hour away. The plus side is that it is part of the public school system. The downside is that we would have to move an hour from our jobs to make it possible for her to attend that school. But, we are still looking into it. We want to make...

I agree... people can be both. I just struggle on how to best go about that, with the limited Deaf resources in my community. Finding the Deaf community in my area is difficult. We seem to live in a pocket of horrendous resources.

This whole subject seems so simple until I start reading all the differing viewpoints. It makes it tough. Do I just go with what I feel is right? Or do I try to look into all the differing opinions - preconceived notions and all. Sometimes I worry that I have not been...

This is a very interesting thread! I very much relate to what Drew's Dad and Cloggy are saying. And I really appreciate reading what the others have to say in response. My daughter (21 months, activated 6 months ago) has very few signs. Our intent was to start using it in the home...

I believe you made the right choice as well. I will be following your story and can't wait to see how sweet Ashley does with her CI.
