I would never claim to be a pro or presume to know what is right for you and your child, but I think the best thing to do is to make sure you have a very good audiologist, speech therapist (if you are going for an oral route), and possibly a teacher for the deaf to help with sign language...

I had never heard this before about a ceiling I'll have to ask his teacher of the deaf tomorrow when we're at Horace Mann, thank you. ASL isn't just a backup its part of our life, we went to the Aquarium today and I didn't put his CI's on at all its a large loud environment; that frankly I...

We are cityfolk lol. We love Horace Mann and Kian will start there in about 20months, he could technically start when he turns 3, but since his b-day is in June it just makes more sense to us to have him start in Sept. We alread know all of the preshool teachers and the TA's some of the speech...

Hi Joseph, my 18month old son has a severe/profound sensorineural hearing loss and even when he was "deaf" he loved music and would march around the house and dance, now that he has his CI's(he was bilaterally implanted 5 months ago) he hums and can maintain a simple beat/rhythm and he loves...

Thank you all for your warm welcomes :-)

Hi CSign, thank you for the welcome; I have him in multiple programs we are taking a total communication approach. His CI's are a tool not an all purpose fix. So we do a mixture of ASL, speech therapy, music therapy and playgroup for hearing impaired children. We live in Boston so there are a...

Hi Kat: I was in the exact same situation as you are in now last year. My son was born deaf in June 2010 and was diagnosed officially in September 2010. At that time they told us in 1 ear he had a hearing level of about 140db and 110db in the other ear; severely to profoundly deaf. They wanted...

Hi my name is Key and my son's name is Kian. Kian was born deaf and was officially diagnosed when he was 3 months old. He is now 18 months old and is just like any other toddler except ASL is his primary language. He currently has bilateral cochlear implants, and can say 3 words.
