Hi. My son is 5 and starting Kindergaten this year. He was in a blended VPK class last year with an ASL interpreter. He will be mainstreamed with a visiting DHH teacher 2-3 times a week and a full time interpreter. I'm trying to give him a head start with sight words and phonics. I'm looking...

Thanks! I will definitly ask about the system that turns on/off when the main speaker is talking! His hearing has not been progressive however they can not say that they can not tell us it will not get worse throughout his life. He has sensorineural loss since birth. his unaided hearing is...

Anyone familiar with the quality of these hearing aids? Beginning to think they are not so good. We've had them repaired so much for intermittent function. So frustrating!

Thank you all for your input! There is SO much to think about! The FM would make speech clearer for him but I don't want him to miss out on other kids/soun ds as he plays. Deafdyke... he will be going to school 2x week, 3 hrs per day this year. We are in tough with FSDB and have heard wonderful...

Wow... thanks! These are angles I had not thought about. My little one is only 2 so I try to do what I think is best for him but I really have no clue. His hearing range AIDED is around 25-30 dbs. We are all learning ASL but would like him to speak as well... then again... thats US not HIM...

Thanks for your thoughts. I've looking into the single vaccines and they are not available anymore :( I do not have religious beliefs preventing the immunization so I can't in good conscience make that claim. I'm leaning more to getting him vaccinated but waiting until he is 2. Thanks again!

First let me say that this thread is NOT meant for debate. I'm asking for your thoughts on this matter so I can make an informed decision. My HOH son is 20 months old and has not received his MMR vaccine. I have done some research and just haven't been convinced that the 3/1 injection is the...

We do have a deaf/HOH teacher that comes to our home once a week through EI. She is fluent in ASL and English order sign and is teaching us. I know quite a few words but not how to sting them to forma a sentence yet. I am looking into an ASL course at the local community college as well. We are...

Thanks for the advice everyone!

I'm sorry, my son is only 20 months old. I do sign "no" and "stop". Whereas is does work sometimes, most of the time just smiles or even laughs and continues with what he was doing. Turning the TV on and off is one thing I can not seem to beak him of. Also standing on the kitchen chairs and...

HI. I have a son who is HOH ( moderatly severe ). I am having hard time finding ways to correct his bed behavior. Things that worked for my daughter seem to not work for him. Not sure if this is from his deafness or just because he's a boy. He wears hearing aids and understands "no" and "stop"...
