that is terrible :( such a scary world out there..

i'm looking for toys for my son, who is almost 3 and deaf, to get him for christmas that will help him with his development. he is obviously fine with playing with any toys he can get his hands on but i'd love to know if there is anything that caters to his needs as a deaf child? so many toys...

thats okay! your answer was interesting thanks for the response.

i'm Canadian, but a HUGE fan of stephen colbert, and so i saw this "story" on his show...or was it the daily show, i can't remember but nonetheless, i thought it was stupid. there was even a clip shown where a news station (was it Fox?) brought in a preist to comment? was it really that...

agreed! you don't have to worry about feeling bad about eating vegetables, go vegetarian! horses are my favourite animal :( so sad to think of anything being slaughtered, especially in the manner that they are killed.

i completely agree

while in the process of learning ASL i have seen that there are so many variations for many/all signs online, i am curious to know why this is and does it only differ between areas/communities? or is it more of an individual thing? i think most of the variations are similar enough that it...

sorry, i will admit i don't usually do much searching before i post things, i'm trigger-happy when it comes to asking my questions lol thank you

hello everyone :] it's been a while since i've been on here, i was wondering if anyone could direct me to or help me out with something. i'm looking for really good resources for learning ASL, whether it is free e-books, classes, websites, etc, any suggestion will be much appreciated...

thank you to everyone who has responded to my post, i will be updating along the way and i'm sure i'll have more questions soon. my son has another appointment with the same pediatrician i mentioned before in early may, where she will do her best to evaluate him, and his teacher from the local...

Rubiegem: thank you for your post, since my last post i have met with my sons teacher from the local deaf school and she believes she has some contacts that will be able to help and to evaluate him as soon as possible that specialize in both autism and deafness, so i'm very happy about that. i...

i also want to mention that this pediatrician has only met with him once for half an hour and so i don't feel that she has seen his behaviour enough to really get a feel for who he is. one of the things she mentioned and stressed about was the eye contact, which he doesn't do a lot however he...

okay so i'm going to try to respond to everyone's posts in one reply instead of replying individually so i apologize in advance if i miss anything. to CSign: my son just turned two this february and was implanted this past august. he has had some exposure to sign, as a teacher from the school...

i havn't been on here in quite some time...but i'm back with some questions that hopefully someone can help me out with my son is deaf, (he has bilateral CIs but they are not at a level yet that he is comfortable with so we're taking things slow with them) and i have just returned from seeing...

i'm from Ontario, Canada and i think our education system needs a better way to deal with kids with anxiety, depression, other mental and physical issues or problems at home or with life in general. being one of those kids, and knowing many others, i can say that our education system has let...

i know it won't change anything, but if there is a possibility that he could have symptoms of other things in the future it would be nice to know and to be prepared, but i know thats not always possible. also if i ever have other children it would be good to know their chances of having whatever...

he only has one copy of the gene that causes pendred though so i'm not sure if that affects anything or not, the surgeon didn't really have time to explain anything to me he said that having one copy of this gene shouldn't even cause profound hearing loss so my son needs more testing this is...

my sons main audiologist is deaf
