I don't have a CI, nor am I deaf, but I wanted to answer the question. I feel that the child should be involved in the decision. This can be as early or as late as the parent wants, but the best timeframe is between 4ish and 9 (4 being the earliest a child could understand the basics of the...

IUPUI and University of Indianapolis definitely do, considering my mom works within spitting distance of one and lives within spitting distance of the other one. Then there's Butler and a few more, I think.

I wrote about CIs for a paper about inventions and their impact on society. A large portion of the paper (like, two thirds) was over the Hearing vs. Deaf viewpoints of it. I got a 91%.

If a mainstream school receives a hearing student with DS and (for whatever reason) does not have the resources to appropriately teach the child, the school has the right to deny that child placement in their school, provided that the home school can send them to an alternate school that DOES...

That's a bottle cap.

Just because you do doesn't mean everyone does. There are kids who need Section 504 plans or IEPs for all kinds of reasons, and a lot of the time they either just don't get them (the school says they're "not qualified"--even when by law they are, the school is on board but the parent flat out...

I saw a captioned video on YouTube once where a (mild) swear word was bleeped out but left in the captioning, then later a racial slur (that could be considered a swear) was not beeped out but was censored in the captioning.

I've never seen TONS of signers in most everyday places, but I have seen people signing in malls and stores. My dad always makes sure to point them out to me, tell me to look, and pretty much encourage me to eavesdrop (not because he wants to know what they're saying, but simply because they're...

I was in high school and took ASL 1 in the 2007-2008 school year and ASL 2 in the 2008-2009 year. There was one more year I could've taken, but I moved out of the district before I could. Also, to answer your question in the first post about teachers voicing while signing: My ASL teacher...

I can't answer all of these, but I'll answer the ones I know: 1. It most commonly refers to Signing Exact English. 2. ? 3. SEE is English word order and is an invented system. ASL is a natural language. 4. Depends on whether you want to know about the "obscure" ones like CASE and LOVE, and...

I listen to Christian metal. Sue me. It's not about the delivery, it's about the message. A song doesn't have to be a hymn to be Christian. I'm a fan of a pop rock group that did both secular and religious music, and they included 2 religious songs on one of their secular albums. Those...

I read it in three days (once I finally got it from Amazon:cool:), but that's probably because I was super ambitious and read during class.

I think these two YouTube videos show the difference pretty well: The second one is in CASE, which, as far as I can see, is pretty similar to the "PSE" I see around here. (Oops! Didn't realize the videos would show up the way they did!) I want to get better at ASL, but I tend to gravitate...

Can anyone answer my question?

You could theoretically have a system that wouldn't be attached to your head, but the transmitter would have to be about one and a half times as large (length and width) as well as about twice as thick to get 5 to 10 feet. But it would probably increase the odds for interference. And for all...

I actually have a question. Anyone know how long they usually take to ship? I ordered this book almost a month ago (off the site in the OP), and I haven't gotten any word of its shipment and no money has been taken off my $50 Mastercard gift card. I'm tempted to order again (my dad thinks the...

Did you know that Jupiter is better than any amusement park ride in the world? Seriously, as soon as you "set foot" on that planet (since it's gas), you slingshot almost all the way through to the other side. Then you shoot back again. Then you go back and forth and back and forth and back and...

For the arm, they could just do the same thing they do for the Rear Window but with a place your iPhone/iPod could snap in or something instead of the RW screen thing.

I HAD to reply to this. You cannot say that Deaf culture doesn't exist any more than you can say that Christianity doesn't exist. Regardless of whether you believe in/accept what the culture or religion does (i.e. you don't believe in/accept God), you cannot say that the culture/religion itself...

I think Subtitle Workshop can do it. That's what I use, but I've never captioned a DVD file.
