I hope so! My friend just bought me a college ASL book from her school and I have been reading it, most of the signs 'make sense' and are easy to remember, my biggest problem is ASL grammar. I have a hard time figuring out why sometimes "you" is at the beginning of a question and other times it...

Yeah, basically. From what I understand, there are certain schools for the deaf that are able to give lessons to small children via the internet and video chat if you live in certain areas near the school but still too far away to commute reasonably. It would be a great tool for us on top of her...

My husband was actually born and raised in Belleville IL which is really close to STL, we had lived there up until about 6 months ago when we moved to Harrisburg, IL so he could work as a coal miner. Seems like kind of a crap decision now that we know we're going to have to be driving back and...

It's been awhile! For those of you who had read my opening post earlier and who are curious of the outcome of her ABR test, I wanted to update you. Her test was in STL at Cardinal Glennon's Children's Hospital. They are so great, they let us stay in the room until she was out and they made her...

Strange, didn't think I wrote anything bad or negative in it.

As for CI's... I'm still not sure how I feel. If it comes to the point that even with aids she can hear nothing, I will probably end up taking her to get the cochlear implants, but I'm holding out on making that kind of decision until we know what's going on for sure. It's hard to think of my...

I think sign language is great! So no matter what, we will all be learning. Zoe has already learned her first sign, more, she does it all the time when she wants something now, it's a really good feeling to watch her communicate with us. Her 2 1/2 yr old sister is picking up signs even faster...

Thanks! We think she's kinda cute too :giggle: My husband is from Belleville, IL and I'm from Sparta, IL. We're super southern IL now in Saline County, so it's quite a drive for us to get over that way, but totally worth it. I've heard that Memphis is really the place to go for hearing...

Just wanted to update everyone on my daughter's appointment in St Louis MO yesterday. I thought she was having an ABR done, but it seems I was mistaken. They did a behavioral test with her in a sound booth, trying to get her to turn to the sound to see puppets light up and sing. Each time they...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes! And I just want to say that I'm really new to all of this so please don't be offended if I say something completely ignorant, I don't mean to step on any toes, it's just that I've never really come in contact with anyone who has significant hearing loss...

Ha! Well I guess if my toddler were smart enough to get on the pc, find this website, register and start a thread, I wouldn't be the least bit concerned with her hearing because she'd be a total genius. :giggle:

Hi everyone, my name is Ashley, I'm in my early 20's, I have 2 little girls that are 2 1/2 and 1 yr. They were both premature, with speech delays, but we've just recently realized that our 1yr old's delays are due to her hearing loss. Not really sure what I'm doing, still waiting to go to my...
