Yes he went to Clarke on Old St. Augustine Rd. I'm sorry they made me feel so stupid there! I felt guilty...still do about not being able to do MORE for my child. They wanted me to leave work during the day to come and sit in on my son's speech therapy. I tried to make it to therapy 2x a...

Conner went to Clarke for 1 1/2 before they asked him to leave. He wasn't their poster child, despite having his CI put in INCORRECTLY the first time. It was very emotional. Originally we (my husband and I) wanted him to learn ASL and English - both of us speak 2 languages and were happy that...

Here is my first tattoo. It was for my son Conner. It is the "Divine Mother" (who represents all things feminine and powerful and ALL mothers) intergrated with my son's cochlear implant. In other words...telling him...Mommy's got your back, and will support you - forever

Here is the youtube video of my boy that I was unable to post earlier... Conner - YouTube

Conner is just...like McAwesome sauce! I'm not biased...no, not at all! ;) ...what is a CODA? I would really love to hook up with some HoH/Deaf members of the community. I'm having a difficult time getting someone to act as a mentor. I've tried to contact other parents of children in my son's...

Those websites look like some really great sources of information. :ty: I would put up the youtube link here but I usually access online from work and I don't have access to youtube at the office.

Thank you, everyone for your input. I contacted Conner's teacher from school and FSDB is sending someone to help both my husband and myself decide HOW the best way to learn ASL will be for us. I have high hopes :)

My son Conner was reimplanted November 2011. Why? His surgeon implanted the original CI incorrectly. *joy*

I am interested in getting my 5 year old son immersed fully within the deaf community. I live in Jacksonville, FL - I want my son to have friends who understand him. I'm a little concerned about Conner feeling alone. I've tried to set up play dates with other parents at Conner's school...but...

Conner doesn't speak at all. As far as communication...we do alot of pictures. A WHOLE lot of pointing. We have him ask or say "want" for everything and point. The little guy gets SO frustrated, SO quickly...

FSDB has online classes I can take - though most of them interfere with my work schedule. Its VERY frustrating! I am willing to do anything - I've made flash cards for myself and for Conner. I've hung/taped/tacked signs around my house/office and car to increase my vocabulary.

I am...beyond stressed. My son, Conner is ...in a word beautiful. He is smart, funny, loving, sweet...and deaf. He is 5 years old and has a CI on his right side. He has JUST started attending the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind ...and according to his teachers...he is a rockstar...
