Good morning from Kansas...
My name is Ryan and I'm from Kansas. I'm at the University of Kansas as a sophomore, but I'm sitting at home in Overland Park on Spring Break since KU lost on Friday night (so much for my road trip plans!)
 I'm hearing impaired, but can sign and speak, though I tend to speak more often than sign. Other than that, I dunno what else to say! Just ask! |

Hi Ryan!
Was it fun living on the Tornado Alley, eh? Actually I would love to see Tornado, missed twice BIG time! Was in Salt lake city, Utah, left a day before the rare strike of tornado there. Then an hour too early left Fort Worth, Texas when Tornado strikes. All I can remember is that the air and sky looked so weird when I was in FW, TX. Didn't think it was tornado in brewing. |

Welcome to AD Ryantss, you aren't the only one that speaks in voice more than using signs. I have met some deaf who know nothing about sign but speak. It was interesting.

I was placed in a mainstream environment in a school district that was progressive enough to have its own deaf/hoh/hi program that ensured all of us were receiving the same level of treatment and education (i.e. making sure that we learned, instead of 'dumbing it down' for us), and a close-knit community of families who had children that were also deaf/hoh/hi and mainstreamed. We all had interpreters in every single class, even for those of us who were in the gifted program as well. I took speech therapy until third grade, and to this day I still have people telling me that they cannot believe I'm hearing impaired because of how well I speak. I just can't sing a good note to save my life.  I cannot stress the excellence of the school district I attended (Shawnee Mission School District.) |
