lol... I didn't know that about VOICE... sounds a bit like my experiences with AVT at RVH. ECD - do you mean EC Drury? If so, I have to wait until Sept when our Homevisiting Teacher comes back. I'm going to ask her. What is MTSD?

I think that's who I contacted... I've been corresponding with her on Facebook and we have an appointment to meet in 2 weeks. She said she'd do an initial examination. Unfortunately, she is a private AVT... so we'd have to pay out of pocket... and not sure we can afford that. I was hoping to...

Oh no... family week at the cottage... I am back... and not scared away! lol

I understand it logically... but it's still very hard to grasp... since it's beyond what I "naturally" know. Even though I want Tyler to become Oral... I also want him to learn signs. And as a family, we have been learning signs over the past 3 years and teaching them to Tyler. Up until...

yes, he turns to all sounds - speech and environmental. And yes he can discrimate... door bell and telephone. And on occasion he has run to the door when the door bell rings. They discharged him from AVT because he wouldn't co-operate and do what was asked of him. I thought it was a...

Tyler was discharged from AV therapy when he was 1 year old because he wasn't progressing. We have a speech language pathologist.

What is the picture for eeee (Ling 6)?

Can you tell me more about this one? How would this one work without memorization?

We're giving him signs on a daily basis but he has yet to communicate with us via that route either. He's starting to try to immitate words and signs... but he's just starting... and it's hard to distinguish as it's so primary. What more can I do through ASL... I'm learning as much as...

Here's a photo of our little guy: http://www.alldeaf.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=15191&stc=1&d=1280706799

Yes, I know the Ling Tests... although I will admit I don't do them as regularly as I probably should He turns to most of them... but he doesn't repeat all of them. It's like he hears them but he doesn't want to put the effort into saying them back to me.

Well I'm willing to do whatever I can for him...

Hey I wonder if the Naida's and the FM system will help him comprehend speech more/better?

No, he is not a candidate for a ci... we checked into that when he was 18 months old. They said the candidacy for a ci started at 90db. Tyler is between 65-75db unaided. So, it's just hearing aids for him. No, they have never done descrimination testing. I will look into that. But I...

You mean speech therapy, lots of resources, and hard work??? What do you mean you don't comprehend? You don't understand? Or you can't hear speech? Tyler fits in between 25-35 db.

So, if by chance "he cannot comprehend speech using his hearing aids" what does that mean? Can we do more teaching to help him comprehend? FM systems, etc... I won't give up on Tyler speaking... I know he will.

What do you mean?

But now... I'm heard from some other people with ha's that they didn't speak until much later. How does your daughter communciate? Does she use ha's or ci's?

That audiogram and description helps... it's easy but confusing at the same time... if that makes sense ??? So, is there anyway that I can help Tyler to hear all sounds? If his hearing aids take him to 25-35 decibles... is there anyway I can help him to get those other sounds lower? Or will...
