Ack phone again sorry. We've met one other family with a deaf child nearby and it's a single mom. I am going to look into things near the md school for the deaf area and see if we can make a trip once a month or so, it's about 2.5 hours away. Thanks again :)

Thank you all so much for the input! She's definitely not wearing her aids all the time. Being so young, she pulls them out a lot, I take them out when she nurses and sleeps and also in the car. I'm going to try not mentioning it, letting him go at his pace for awhile and see what happens. We...

Oops sorry I'm on my phone and posted too soon. Last sentence was I don't want her to feel unimportant or unloved. I want her to be able to communicate at home in the easiest way possible for her. Everyone needs a soft place to land, I want her to be able to just be, and not have to worry about...

I'm watching signing time, learning signs from asl pro and lifeprint, and from early intervention. The school...

I guess what I'm confused about is that from what I'm told, sentence structure is different in asl than spoken english, but wvsdb signs exact english, so if she learns that way will she still be able to effectively communicate with others who use asl? Or am I not understanding this correctly...

Thank you, shel90. I'm still trying to figure it all out. Deafdyke, thanks. I guess that means I should focus my research on learning more about bi-bi. :)

Hi, I'm Christie, Mom of a beautiful Deaf 3 month old. I realize that I'm probably getting way ahead of myself, but in my research I found out that WV School for the Deaf and Blind uses SEE exclusively. I am still learning a lot but understand that there are big differences between SEE and ASL...
