Well, there is a paragraph discussing the use of miniature horses. And there is an opportunity to "challenge" a person to prove/state the animal "works" to ameliorate a disability. But you are right, there's still no muscle behind it.

Glad she's doing well.

Agreed, but at this time there are no certifying tests or documents needed to prove the dog is trained. People self-train dogs all the time; a few even do a good job. There are organizations pushing right now for a national certifying body and minimum performance testing. Better organizations...

Service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or...

Dogs, definitely. Only thing I ever got from a cat was asthma :/

From the website it appears the BTE comes with both styles of ear hooks: one for the tiny dome or tulip earpieces, and the larger hook for a custom earmold. Again, though, you will need to discuss this with your audiologist to see if your fitting range and your device will work well with a...

Excellent point, DHB. The public have lost the fine art of good hard work. Everyone wants a free ride, a great job, high pay, but they're not willing to work up to it. I worked through high school at McDonalds, washed dishes in college, and drove ambulances through medical school. And still...

I'm curious if any ADers are planning to attend ALDAcon in Colorado Springs? It's the Association of Late Deafened Adults; for those still adjusting and for those wanting to learn more, it's a great opportunity to network with other late-deafened folks. And communication is no barrier; their...

Getting back to the OP's question, I think disability benefits should be provided only if the recipients participate in nutrition and exercise training programs. As a rehab physician, I can tell you that there are very few conditions that cannot benefit from a monitored exercise program. This...

I'm late-deafened, so I really miss music. I have no musical talent myself, which probably made me appreciate others so much. As for signed music, so many of the YouTube videos are students and newbies, and I don't always enjoy their interpretations of the music. A fluent signer, especially...

Boston has a strong and active Deaf and hoh community. You might also try contacting DEAF Inc., Boston MA: Resources for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community for resources.

Shel, I work in one of the largest Pediatruc hospitals in the country. The number of children with CP, stroke, acquired and congenital brain injury, etc is much higher than the number of D/HH kids. Aphasia, apraxia, dysfluency, etc are much more common problems than you would think. Our...

My friends at Quad Rugby suggested contacting the producers at THINKFilm Good luck!

Sorcerer's Apprentice. Not sure how it was; the RWC was too small to read :(

I played Quad Rugby (Murderball) for 11 years and was on the Board for the USQRA. I can touch base with some players and coaches and see if anyone has one for sale.

:laugh2:

In fact, no one under the age of 13 and prior to Bar/Bat Mitzvah is counted in a minyan. However, in 1973 the Conservative movement stated women could be counted in the minyan, by which time I was already Bat Mitzvah. So yes, I was included when I was "young".

I said nothing about not believing, what I said was that one must be careful in critically analyzing information and not accepting the author's conclusion as fact. By doing that historically, we caused an entire generation to believe vaccinations could cause autism. We now know that shoddy...

The authors you quote are highly biased. The all are employed by the Moog Center for Deaf Education, an oral ONLY curriculum. Moog Center St. Louis - Home One must be careful interpreting data when there is strong potential for secondary gain.

Looks like you are signing "love". Hmmmm, "love/arrest"?? :giggle:
