Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Amy. I have five kiddos, three of whom are deaf/hoh. My 5 year old and 2 year old use hearing aids, and my 4 year old has CIs. All three kids are just awesome. We know some ASL, but I'd like them to be fluent as well. It's really hard to find a way to learn other than to just teach ourselves...I took them to some classes at the library but we already knew all the signs they were teaching.
Anyways, I want to be a good mama to my littles, and figured I could get some great advice from others who have been where they are now, or others who have been where I am now! My kids are the first in our families (both mine or m husbands) to have any type of hearing loss, so until my kids came along, I knew nothing about the subject, I knew no deaf people, I didn't even know what a cochlear implant was! My how my little world has expanded!
