I am guessing she is hearing?
Regardless for extra curricular activities and such and not provide him with a Terp for P.E. of after school functions I don't think it is a bad thing. In fact, I think it is good to expose him to more independent learning with out a Terp. Only reason is because...
What are your views on Service Dogs for Deaf and Hard of Hearing? Why do you feel so strongly on that?
I'm not a student. I am Late-Deaf but, am curious about this.
Haha, I didn't realize you responded to my other posts before I wrote that. Haha, those all sound good except the city bus. Our city bus makes me cringe just thinking about it. Terribly nasty. I think I am going to go grocery shop right now.
I have a NookColor. I am not to excited about it. I only read books and the newspaper. I never got it for the apps or the magazines. I have been thinking of down grading to Nook eInk.
The show will be in captions. A lot of things online are not in captions but, least ABCFamily is trying to do the best and communicate with the deaf community on here and try to meet you guys half way. I am sick of deaf people being such snobs on here.
Thanks everyone. I hope sometime I find people from San Antonio or nearby who can help me learn. I found a lady who is an organizer of a meetup group but, she charges $60 to learn basic ASL and she not even a teacher and I don't think she teaches actual ASL but, like SEE or Pidgin. I've done...
I am looking to make friends with Deaf and HoH people. I lost my hearing a few months before I turned 21 and was fitted with hearing aids right before I was 22. I never did learn ASL but, picked up on reading lips real fast. I want to make new friends face to face who will expose me to ASL so...
The actress has Meniere's and is hard of hearing. Using a deaf voice while acting is not a slap in the face to the Deaf Community. She does indeed wear hearing aids in real life. Plus, the reason of the show is for them to cooperate and learn to co-exist as a joined family with the possibility...
RE: Sheila the Stickler
If you're such a stickler for grammar maybe you shouldn't be on a forum. I believe freedom of speech covers bad grammar too! I'm sure my grammar is far better then yours if you want to put it to a test.
Either way a lot of well educated people don't use proper...
My opinion is this. We buy glasses and want them to look nice and reflect our personality. Why not hearing aids. IF people don't like it their not wearing them!
My hearing aid is pink and so is my ear mold. Also, you can usually have your hearing aid recased by Phonak for cost you send it...
Thank you! I have all this new info from all of you to explore more of my options. Maybe I can go to school for free to learn ASL. Seems like the easiest bet I have so far.
Like you said in your other post just lay it all out there. I don't think it will be a big deal. Let him know your good at lip reading or at least somewhat proficient and move from there. I went deaf a few years ago and learned to lip read in about a year with a lot of motivation. My bf...
I want someone to skype me. I am deaf wearing 1 hearing aid so it makes me hard of hearing. I don't know. I am not so sure anymore of how this all works.

Hello!
I am looking for Skype users to make friends with. I do not care male or female; I am though, happily engaged. I am looking for friends who are new to ASL or Native Speakers. I am new to it. I know the alphabet along with a few various signs and want to learn more.
I lost my...
