Special postcards = your baseless paranoia. Post a photo or it doesn't exist (hint: it just doesn't exist). It's your self-styled "little piggies" who have conducted the terrorizing offline and the posting on AD of personal information, names, workplaces, harassing the children of posters...

I think he included both non-captioned and captioned and didn't expect you to have to lipread..

I couldn't see it using the mobile link, but could see video + captions just fine with the regular youtube link -- she's just delightful and beautifully trilingual (at least)! (PS, you have to click the CC drop down option at the bottom of the Youtube frame) Lotte in English, Nederlands &...

My daughter was born with profound hearing loss, and despite trying powerful hearing aids, they never provided adequate sound, but did cause her pain when they attempted to reach for useful sound by raising the volume to reach that 100db level. With CIs, she accesses all of the speech sounds at...

We have to be on our toes, making certain we have services and accommodations explicitly covered in every IEP, and then holding our schools and teachers personally accountable. Not easy, that's for sure.

And this is what they recommend: (1) Access to a language they can acquire easily and in accordance with their cognitive and emotional needs from intact role models in their surrounding; (2) the promotion of awareness of sentence word order as an important source of information in the...

Factors Distinguishing Skilled and Less Skilled Deaf Readers: Evidence From Four Orthographies Oxford Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, Fall 2012 Came across a very interesting article with some practical solutions offered. A century of research demonstrates that, on average...

We have always included a requirement for extended school year in our daughter's IEP. We found the summer program for the deaf at my daughter's school was run more like camp than regular school: swimming lessons, a lot of field trips, social time -- good sign language development...

:laugh2: :thumb:

Why are you continuing to derail this thread by challenging Cloggy about his daughter's ability to function without CIs? Of course she can. Can you function without your HAs? Of course. You might just function differently. You belie your own insecurities about being a nonfunctioning deaf...

I find this site to be an invaluable resource, as the parent of a deaf child: Educating Deaf Children. It's a rare unbiased resource with responses to questions backed by independent research. Resources include parent questions and answers from experts, captioned (and some signed) videos...

Some new commentary about how it's being received in the Deaf community.

Sweet story! There was a great 'CI moments' thread on AD before many of the adults who got CIs left a few years ago that mentioned all sorts of sounds we forget to listen to. That's one of the same sounds that delights my daughter, too! We don't tend to have cola at home, and it's not easy to...

Growing Up With a Cochlear Implant: Education, Vocation, and Affiliation Oxford Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, Fall 2012 Linda J. Spencer*,1, J. Bruce Tomblin2 and Bruce J. Gantz3 Revision received May 31, 2012. Abstract The long-term educational/vocational, affiliation...

adorable!

Does she have an aide or teacher who takes the fm receivers off at the end of the school day, does she remove the receivers herself, or does she wear them home attached to her HAs? Could the staff members who check them throughout the day be inadvertently switching them off by removing the boot...

Suzanne, CIs are designed primarily to access speech sounds, and individuals respond very differently to how they perceive music. She received her CI nearly twenty years ago, and as you know, technology has advanced significantly since she received one of the first CIs. Compare the sound from a...

I think you nailed it. Not a whole lot you can do until you are a bit older, unless you change her mind about safety. I'll probably use any excuse available to keep my daughter from behind the wheel too when she's a sophomore, junior, maybe even a senior -- teenagers are notoriously bad...

You posted in the right place. Some people are either messing with you (a little introductory hazing) or angry at you for asking your question of parents who are raising deaf children or deaf adults with CIs. Those who are fussing about where you placed your questions are very much against Cis...

ooops, sorry for duplicate (catching up)
