I can understand why these parents would want there children to hear, but I can't understand why they wouldn't want them to learn ASL. First of all it could be a second language for them and please correct me if I am wrong but it is my understanding that with CI's and HA's they can't be worn all...

I started to learn ASL about two years ago but have really gotten in to it the past few months for my son who was born deaf. I found this website a week or two ago and after reading through different post I am going to work even harder to teach myself, my son and our household (my husband and...

I agree with the trying to get over the grieving process quickly, I kept thinking that the dr's were wrong about my son (who is 2 1/2 now) because he is a very noisy child, he has multiple disabilities and is now getting very frusturated because he can't express himself, I took to long to decide...

I wouldn't let my son go as a resident yet possibly when he is in high school but not yet, that is part of our problem we have two other children who have had a very hard time since their brother was born with him being in the hospital most of his first year then moving from my daughters first...

Thank you everyone for your help, there are two main stream schools in our area one has a deaf program in place so I think I will look in to that one get all the information and then decide between that school and a deaf school. To answer someones question he would probably attend Robarts he is...

I am a mom of a 2 1/2 year old deaf boy, we have recently found out that if we want him to go to a deaf school then we have to apply when he is three, the closest provincial school for the deaf is at least three hours away, I know I want him to go to a deaf school when he is older but for now I...
