No, because he hasn't learned when it is okay to use his voice and when not to. He was getting out of control in class with his voice. However, I feel a little bit better now, because his regular van driver had to be in court yesterday and they sent someone he never met before and refused to...

Thank you all for your great advice. We did tell him about strangers but with all these reports of kidnapping and kids missing I just worry alot about him. He doesn't have a very strong voice right now. They aren't letting him use his voice yet in school and told my daughter not to let him use...

This might sound stupid but I need to ask. If my grandson can't hear how would we know if someone was trying to hurt him or steal him? I have always been afraid something like this would happen if we were out in a crowded area. I wouldn't let him leave my side, but it is hard to keep him still...

I am sorry to hear you had so much trouble. I know how you feel. I am going through it right now. I actually lost my job while on a medical leave and I have to come up with the money before I can go back to class. I do my classes online so it is easier to pay it that way. I went to my enrollment...

God Bless you. I will keep you in my prayers.

I am handicapped. I have Multiple Sclerosis. It is very hard and painful for me to walk. But I can still walk. Soon that priviledge will be gone and I will still be thankful. Since he is a little boy (age 7), I don't want to use his real name. I did that for safety reasons. I am sorry...

Thank you, I agree ASL is more important. It upset me to see how many people are so ignorant to the need. Some of the politicians in my area don't even realize signing is a language. I think all teachers, Police and Medical professionals should be required to learn ASL. May God Bless you and...

Thank you. I wrote the poem when we first found out my grandson was deaf. This was my way of dealing with news. He is so smart too. I just love the little bugger so much. You are so right. I would love to read some of your work. Here is my email address if you would send it to me I would be...

I guess I may have said it wrong if it upset you. I apologize. What I am saying is we all have something to teach. I have a cousin who was born with the front part of her brain missing. She has shown me so much. I have learned how to be thankful when I accomplish something. I might not be number...

I am getting involved in real life. I have been in contact with our Governor and we have been on the news bringing awareness to the people in our area. I currently am working on opening a daycare center for all children Hearing and non-hearing. I will do whatever it takes to help my grandson and...

Not really, He is the first one to be ridiculed in public. He is now 7 1/2 years old and has made a big difference in our area. People are a little more respectful to those who are different. It was just a shock for us to deal with him being deaf in the beginning. We blamed ourself and then...

Thank you. I just thought I would share a little bit of me. I hope it will let some here understand that not all of us who can hear are mean. We are all individuals and have our own opinions. But we need to respect each other and their opinion. Life is too short to hold grudges. I wish people...

I wrote this for my grandson after people (Adults) called him retarded because he talked with his hands. My daughter was very upset so I wrote this for him. It's not the best but it was all I had. I hope it doesn't offend anyone. If it does I apologize in advance. This is not my intention to...

I am from Pennsylvania, near Gettysburg.

Thank you I will try that.
