I'm not sure about other states but in PA no private insurance covers hearing aids/hearing services but medicaid does. Obviously, you are only approved for medicaid if you have little to no income. BUT if you apply for SSI and are approved... you qualify for medicaid under the "PH 95" loop...

Well if "deaf" can be spread like disease, than obviously stupid can too and I think these kids have a serious case of the stupids. In all honesty though, I think you should speak to your parent and the principle and confront the issue. It's bullying, it's hurtful, it's violent and it's...

Yes!

This is what makes me nervous. I am scared because of the degree of her hearing loss (which is only moderate high frequency) that she won't be accepted into a deaf school and she will struggle in mainstream. Then what?

I want to apologize for my lack of understanding on the thread I posted about 2 weeks ago "About parents?" Most of the comments opened my eyes to see a world for my daughter other than, being just like me. I thought the "best" things I could do is to help her to be most like a hearing...

What would make you say this? We aren't sure of the cause of the hearing loss at this point.

Listen, I'm not listening to anyone besides the audiologist and therapist. You refuse to believe that because apparently I have the same last name as some chick in some tv movie and apparently sound a lot like someone you apparently don't like. Sorry. I've prestented pictures as evidence and...

Fight amongst yourselves. It's obvious I'm not welcome here.

This is the exact reason I wanted to reach out to deaf adults, to gain the perspective. Instead it's rudeness and insults (even to my parenting, talk about below the belt). It's obvious that some of your opinions cloud your ability to give meaningful, constructive advice that would help.

So, if I state that if the information presented to me is sufficent enough for me to think I should change my approach I would do so, why continue with the nastiness and rudeness?

I've given you all the answers, it's obvious that even if I were to want to continue here I wouldn't be able to. I hope you all realize that you are all nothing but a bunch of freakin bullies, outing anyone who thinks slightly different from you, especially to people who are hearing and...

Your early intervention services may be provided at home, but what exactly is preventing you from contacting other parents in your area to arrange play dates, activities, and get togethers? It just doesn't make sense that you have no contact with other parents of deaf children, particularly...

When the service coordinator first met with us, we were given options of therapies. 1) Cued Speech 2) Total communication 3)Auditory-verbal therapy We choose the 3rd because it seemed like the best choice at the time.

The organazation is called The Expressive Hand.

Cued speech was one of the things suggested to us by the PA school for the deaf but I have never heard of bi-bi?

I have no idea why I feel the need to prove myself to a group of strangers. I guess this is my first expierence with the HOH/Deaf community and being called a fake doesn't feel well. Makes me feel like everything I thought I knew, and thought I was doing good for my dughter is so wrong that...

One org runs adult basic classes at a high school about a half hour from my home and the other is community college of philadelphia.

Yes, I am willing to consider. Like I stated I've already called 2 places to try to find adult ASL classes. Is that the question you would like answered.

Seriously? You all sound like a bunch of crazy people. I was sent here by other people? Paranoid much? God forbid anyone new try to post in your group, you have to run them out.
