Our day care center told us today that they've been having parents come in and say how happy they were that the day care was teaching sign language... only... they haven't been. Apparently, Our 23 month old CI and sign using daughter has been! The signs that have apparently rubbed off on her...

How do deaf people get adequate medical information in pharmacies? I manage a retail pharmacy and have worked in many others, and not only have I never had a deaf patient, but I have no idea how I would easily counsel one. What are your experiences?

We went to a workshop at Moog last week. Not sure what I think.

We're moving our 19 month old CI using daughter from a home day care setting to a center setting that is structured a little more like a pre-school. Neither the home nor center is specifically set up for deaf kids, CI or not. She was able to advance her hearing and speech in the more quiet...

Two months of CI use has shown great change and progress for our 15 month old daughter. She answers to her name, knows "no", dances when she hears music, and has started trying to respond vocally by repeating sounds we say to her. She brings us the CIs in the morning or points to them on...

Hello. We're still around. Chose AB for my daughter. Pending insurance, bilateral, simultaneous implants in October. Whats new?

Ophthalmology check today. One step closer. :)

We've been bombarding our deaf daughter with simple baby signs since she was born. This week, at 6 months, she very deliberately showed us that what she's drinking is called "milk". Now every time she gets a bottle that little hand starts squeezing away. Let me tell you, there's a whole...

We had our daughter's first visit with the CI team. They did behavioral testing and it matched her ABR with no response across the board. From an audiology standpoint, she's a candidate for implants. Next comes the medical testing. Quite a few decisions to be made. 1. To implant or not...

I know they mean well, but I wish people would keep to themselves if they don't know what they're talking about. That or say, "I think that", or "hey, you know maybe", instead of acting like what they say is undisputed truth. My baby daughter had no response on sedated ABR, but people hear...

My 3 month old daughter got her hearing aids today. They said they may or may not work for her. I haven't really noticed any difference yet. Anything anyone would look for besides the obvious startling, etc.

My 3 month old daughter is deaf. I would like to learn ASL, and teach it to her as well. I have been unable to find any live ASL education offerings close to home so I'm curious what other tools / programs people might have seen used successfully. Someone donated a baby sign book and video...

My wife and I are hearing, but our beautiful and happy 3 month old daughter is deaf. We just found out last week. Neither of us have really any experience with the deaf or sign, certainly not deaf children. We'll be poking around here a bit, I think.
