Yes, a business can ask what tasks a service animal can be trained to perform. A business may ask the following: 1. Are you disabled? 2. Is that a service animal? 3. What tasks has the animal been trained to perform? If the state law and federal law conflict, the law that offers the...

With regards to the comments about allergies. It is VERY rare to have an allergic reaction to a dog that is so severe that it is considered disabling. If an individual does indeed have an allergy to dogs that is so severe they are considered to be disabled and protected under the ADA, the...

No, I was going to say something, but decided not to...Read my original post. ;-)

:gpost: jillio I was pretty surprised that a "former co-student" would even bother to take the time to register to the forum and start defending the program. Must be the spe...oops... ::holds hands::

The VISTA Signing Naturally series are great if you are self-motivated. You're best resource is the local Deaf community, as was mentioned before.

I am in an ITP and it is taught in ASL - strong ASL. The only time there is PSE is when I am in the room and a hearing teacher is presenting since I am hoh and need the sim-com to help fill in the blanks. This is quite a bizarre program. No wonder we have less-than-certified interpreters out...

Here is a video I made of something embarrassing that happened to me - something I said! What do you think? YouTube - ASL - Most Embarrassing Moment

Yeppers, I am hoh. Started losing hearing about 2.5 years ago. :-)

Anyone up for a chat via VP? Just kinda hangin on a Friday night. Can't go out...still not feeling well. :-) Drop me a message and I'll send you my #

Crazy story - I actually bought that book about 1 1/2 years ago when I started losing my hearing. I bought it for about $7. I never ended up using it, just reading it. I hopped on Amazon.com to sell some textbooks, etc and typed that book in to sell it. Imagine my surprise when the lowest list...

Dixie - Have you ever thought about training your own hearing dog? I know there are some good books out about training a hearing ear dog. One is called "Lend me an Ear". It discusses how to choose a dog with the right temperament too.

Thanks guys and gals...I looked around and couldn't find anything so I thought I'd double-check. :-) Etoile - I sent you an email today. :-)

Hi Don, Thanks for the info. My dog will not be primarily for hearing alerts. The dog is being trained to support me in mobility (balance and momentum for walking), retrieving objects, opening and closing heavy doors, and for medical alerts (ie: alert me to oncoming symptoms caused by my...

Does anyone have a sign I can use for "medieval"? If I were talking about "in Medieval Times"? How could I say this in ASL? Thanks! http://anamazingtail.synthasite.com/

I just wanted to update everyone...we changed the sponsors around (the picture ads are gone - only text ads now) so people will find things more relevant and interesting to themselves.... Fundraising is going well...doctors think I have fibromyalgia, so we'll see what happens. :-) Thank...

Thanks everyone! I'm really excited. It will learning how to do a lot of things for me. Some hearing, mobility, balance, opening heavy doors, let me know if I'm about to have a migraine or panic attack. I will definitely have pictures. Definitely please visit my website and visit the sponsors...

I haven't been around AD for awhile because I have been having a lot of heath problems...I'll know early this week what is really going on (we think it is autoimmune). My doctor approved a service dog for me to help with my balance and alerting to changes in my medical condition. I am very...

Hmmmm...I'm not sure which technique you're referring to specifically. Several of the bracelets are done using right-angle weave stitch or a modified ladder stitch. :-) I'd like to add some new things that are not as expensive.

Hi everyone! I am so proud of how my website is coming along! Not all of the links work, but many do (and so do the "Add to Cart" buttons!) Let me know how it looks? :ty: Bead Lavada

Doesn't the terp agency handle crisis calls?!?! How terrible. I hope you are ok.
