Yes, and I think formal classes would be wonderful for my husband, not only to communicate with our daughter, but also with me. I know all of my children will become fluent in ASL either way, but an IFSP is a really good idea. I think I may have to pick up the girls and just do it... going out...

Did you adopt your daughter then? Before you even knew she was deaf you were arranging for SLP services? I would love to switch her early intervention program to a Deaf school, but its over 45 minutes to either deaf school even remotely close to us. (Rocky Mountain Deaf School and Colorado...

I'm more wanting to find information from people who grew up like I did. Yes my parents took me weekly to an ASL social, and I am so happy they did, and I am so happy that my parents chose BOTH spoken language and ASL for me. and I am so happy that you haven't seen the attitude that I have...

wait, did you think that was me in that video? I apologize for the miscommunication if you thought it was me, but at that point, I would have said, "Me signing one of my favorite songs"... but no, I said "beautiful interpretation of one of my favorite songs". and just an FYI... deaf and Deaf...

I am, but can't I love a song? I'm not sure about you, but yes, I am Deaf, and Yes I love this song. I am so thankful that people would be willing to actually interpret songs and post videos of them, especially since my hearing levels have dropped, and my speech discrimination has dropped as...

We are getting early intervention, but most of it has been very much, if you choose to use ASL with your child, then you will damage her, so I have stopped using the early intervention programs here, because I don't like their philosophies, and I can give my daughter more right now then any...

Hosanna by Hillsong United can't figure out how to get it embedded

thats just horrible... you cannot contract autism, you cannot contract deafness... or any other "disability" from simply being in contact with someone who has it. How old is your son? I'm so sorry. I'm sure your son is a beautiful, wonderful, intelligent child! What is this world coming to? do...

VCO is one of my favorite features! much faster then captioning. Never seen that before though... "interpreter thingy" very interesting. I'm always amazed at how my generation (and even older generations) speak... and people say we Deaf have no understanding of english grammar... have you seen...

never mind... Its letting me post again... I guess it just didn't like my phone maybe?

thank you so much for your blessings SafariGirl!! I hope god provides you with many blessings, especially in this week of his rising! I live in Castle Rock, its a bit south of Denver. Unfortunately Golden and CSDB are too far away, as I want both my girls near me. My princesses, and all my...

ok... so now that I'm allowed to post again (not sure what was happening)... I have a few questions for you. How old was your daughter when she got implanted? How did she react to them, my Ally doesn't really like her Hearing Aids right now... and I'm scared that if we decide to get the...

I have people asking me all the time, oh... did you give your daughter the deaf? the deaf? didn't know that was a thing. But really... most of the hearing people I have come in contact with (mostly everyone I know) has been wonderful about my Deafness. I remember my husband, before he was my...

I don't understand, I was able to post 4 times perfectly fine... then things stopped showing up... help would be greatly appreciated!

Oh Grendel, that is so wonderful. Please forgive me for asking, but what is a bibi school? How old was your daughter when she was implanted? How did she react with the implant, my Ally doesn't really like her hearing aids right now, and that is something I am afraid of, getting this surgery on...

Safarigirl, thank you so much for the blessings! I hope God brings many blessings in your life! Especially this weekend, as he has risen! As for the question posed to me, I live in castlerock, which is a bit south of denver. I know there are many resources out there, but I've had a hard time...

Yes I did have some hearing with my hearing aids, in fact I'm still using them, but my speech discrimination as gone down severely with my drop in hearing. Without lipreading before I got pregnant, I could understand a good 75% on my tests, but in a real world situation, maybe 50%, but with...

Ok, so I know I'm new here, but I was wondering if anyone had received an implant as a late teen or young adult after being Deaf their whole lives. I recently lost quite a bit more hearing after being pregnant with my girls, and I'm considering getting a CI. I would also love to hear from...

Thank you so much for the welcome! Girls are happily playing on the floor now. So let me see if I can tell you a little more about myself and my angels. I met my husband at my church shortly after we moved, and God told me right away that he was the one who I would spend the rest of my life...

Hi my name is Natalie, and I am almost 19, and I am Deaf. My parents found out I had severe hearing loss when I was almost 2, and I was fitted with hearing aids, started speech therapy, and also learned ASL. I attended mainstream school in a little town in Kansas, then when I was 16, we moved to...
