I will pay for an assessment from a speech-language pathologist to determine if I really need intensive speech therapy or to just polish my speech. I have a heavy accent so that's the main reason why I would like to continue speech therapy (private) to polish my speech but I'm curious: how...

So when the moment comes where you suddenly forgot to pronounce a particular word, how do you resolve that problem? For instance, I was talking to a friend about summer school and said that I was going to take Economics. I used to say this word perfectly fine but yesterday, when I was...

I hope this is the right section to ask the question here...I don't sign so I rely on speaking as a primary method to communicate with people. However, I have an "accent" (of course) and what I've noticed is that my voice changes. For instance, my speech sounds clear and intelligible one day...

I like this. Normal is so subjective - the guy who commented on my post seems to be suggesting that because there is a high proportion of people without disability, it's considered to be conforming if we don't have a disability.

LOL good one!

This thread is not about anonymity. It's about the guy's comment about "I'm normal."

Kind of. I wouldn't say it's bullying, but a lot of students don't seem to have class and respect for one another. Trust me, a lot of comments are very sarcastic.

Okay so at my school, we have a page on FB for anyone to post anything they want to say. So for instance, if you see another person who's good looking and want to know if she's single, you can go to that page and say, "Hey to that girl....aer you single?" Basiclaly, you can post about ANYTHING...

BTW, I don't want a Nexus...I love Apple products but I can't afford both an iPhone and an iPad mini.

I guess you are more knowledgeable than me about Apple products so here it goes: I have a contract that is ending pretty soon so I will have to get a new phone. However I'm not too sure about getting an iPhone because I use data a LOT hence more expensive monthly payments. Furthermore, the...

I don't mind about the cost, but may I ask you, how is it possible to wear a wig with a cochlear implant or a hearing aid? I know you can get the wig customized but I'm wondering what the wig cap looks like for those who have a CI/HA. Can you please describe it? thanks!

I have a Cochlear Implant, so I tried on my friend's wig and noticed that the wig cap is pushing the microphone off of my ear. Also, the coil sits on top of my hair, so when I put the wig on, it doesn't fit well because of the bulging shape of the transmitter. Any ideas? I could ask for a...

I looked EVERYWHERE online. Still no luck. When the movie was released in theatres, I was surprised to hear that the subtitles are not available for this particular film. I don't want to use Netflix as it uses up most of my Internet in my house and I only want to watch this particular movie...

I realize that I'm absolutely terrible at making or initiating a conversation. I cannot go beyond the "basics" of conversation such as, "how are you?" "it's so cold!" "this course is really hard." Et cetera. So how do you start a good conversation? Thanks!

Does Netflix have closed captioning? For all movies? I really want to download Netflix but I don't want to waste money unless it has closed captioning for all the movies. Does it? Thanks!

Thank you for your advice. Yes, I actually was talking to my fellow student nurses and I've noticed that they are talking really fast (out of habit I guess). I keep reminding them that they need to talk slowly but not does this only help me, but also a good way to practice for communicate with...

I honestly feel like crying right now because after reading the responses, I felt like someone has finally understood me and has not passed judgements on me. This is really hard on me and, as sheri363 mentioned, I am coming to terms with the "harsh" reality of the world. But I feel like this is...

Hi there, I love your username. It's beautiful! Welcome to AllDeaf.com. The users here are really supportive and wonderful.

I want to say thank you so much again. Your help and advice means a lot to me.

My university actually has psychologists who are really good, at least that's what I hear from other students. But my biggest fear is....the past. What IF the psychologist or psychiatrist would not understand me now that I'm noticing more and more people don't get it? This is why I...
