Welcome back!! So your five year old is low vision? Contact your state's School for the Blind, and give her everything.....and if it turns out she is HOH, she'll have all the tools available to her! Yes, this place is DEAD....missing the old days when it was wicked active. I'm still here thou!

But it is NOT the answer. Speech skills can be very useful, but just b/c a kid can speak, it doesn't mean that they will automaticly be high literate. In fact many oral exclusive kids, especially those who didn't attend an oral deaf school or a program, still have issues with reading and...

Nope why? Check into it. You might be able to do it!

Oooo!!! Yeah, look into it....I actually would check into both that and the Newton North Program, and see which school might be a good fit for you! The camps would be AMAZING..... Check out American School for the Deaf's Iso Bella. It's in the Berkshires! You could also go to Gally or NTID for...

Welcome! There's a huge generation of us who missed out on Deaf stuff, so you're not alone

No. It's in Washington DC but is open to all dhh kids in all 50 states. http://www3.gallaudet.edu/mssd.html Just suggesting it b/c it could be an AMAZING program! TLC might be good but it also seems to be like they would expect you to be fluent for high school. Are you in the suburbs? Newton...

I thought you could request to attend MSSD as a senoir if you wanted.... You should look into it maybe

OMG!!! Are you attending TLC or the Newton North Deaf program? https://edcollab.org/programs/dhh/ There's also READS, and some other collbratives. If you want to have friends who are like you the best way is to take the plunge and attend Deaf School! I remember how bad it was and I'm almost...

Welcome!!!!! I love muscials too!

Welcome! Sorry, it's been dead here!!!!

One thing. Social emotional development is really important with getting a job. So attending Gally could give you an edge in that area.

LOL!!! Oh yes I remember that!!!!

Welcome back!!!

Yeah but I meant as a hivemind mentality. i know there were SOME people who were anti HA, but overall the HA has been pretty much accepted in the Deaf community. 30-35 years ago I could see that. Maybe even as long as 40 years ago, b/c that was the edge of when HAs were introduced...

And this is why I advocate for deaf kids. A "new to the community" parent of a deaf kid, was told by someone who is on the extreme side of things, that the Deaf community was rabidly anti hearing aids TWENTY years ago?!?!? I know there was still some rabidly anti HA sentiment as recently as the...

Most people have migrated over to FB

Yes the movie......regarding the cold cases. My friend said she got her DNA tests, and I go " So which serial killer are you?"

I'm very interested in pschatrity yes.... Just saw an episode about Jodi Arais.... man that case was messed up. Most serial killers tend to be convinced that they're "cleaning up society", like they'll kill sex workers. There's also the violent ones like the BTK and the one that just got caught...

Got sucked into a channel that had a bit on Manson and Dahmer. Many of my books are true crime....

BTW, reading through this. I think that ANYONE who thinks that an oral exclusive approach will magically restore a child to "normal" society NEEDS to read this. I keep thinking about certain people who are still so convinced that the social aspect of being dhh doesn't exist any more......I hope...
