    Well, everyone else have fun....

    Really? Re-read the OP and tell me exactly what you just stated makes sense. IMO, you and a few others walk around these AD forums like alpha-males just pissing on everyone elses threads marking territory, not responding to the pertinent subject matter at all. Seems to me you should start a...

    Well, everyone else have fun....

    yep, I'm there and like the shared input! oops, sorry Bott, to be more clear....I'll still be lurking around the site in general, mainly the "Parenting" and "Deaf Education" subforums (I still like to read everyones opinion) I just wont be reading or posting in the Anti "Hearing Aids &...

    Well, everyone else have fun....

    I looked for and found this site to get some info, but it seems to be dominated by anti-HA anti-Ci folk who just look for any opportunity to voice their opinion on why not to get one. Which is fine, I respect that, we all have our opinions. I just thought that a "Hearing Aids & Cochlear...

    My son is getting a CI

    I'll keep that in mind. The SLP we are going to see (which is in addition to and coordinating with his SLP through school) works almost exclusively with kids with CI's. They even arrange group playdates/therapy for CI kids.

    My son is getting a CI

    I see this thread has tangent-ed out into the standard "pro/con CI" and "every other disagreement" people can have thread. Oh well. I like to believe that we (as parents) always do what we think is best for our children, and that "best" is going to be different for different people...

    Deaf & KFC drive-thru

    I noticed you are in the UK. Did you see this on "An Idiot Abroad"? (funny,funny show btw) This thread made me think of that place he visited in Cairo, supposedly the first KFC run all by deaf/hoh. I found a youtube clip of that place here

    LipDub video

    This is a LipDub video made by a bunch of students at my alma mater. Pretty cool I thought...(It's better to watch directly from the youtube site and there is an outtake clip link at the end!) GVSU LipDub - Come Sail Away

    My son is getting a CI

    Thanks, that is a cool site! We've been half-joking about getting him a helmet to wear on a daily basis he hits his head so much. I know with EVA's its not good to hit your head but Elliott has one speed (Fast) and rarely pays attention to what he is doing. He is lucky to walk through a...

    My son is getting a CI

    Capital View Elementary? Or is there another? I think we looked into that at one time but decided to see how he does locally (6 blocks vs 25 miles) with the help he receives .

    Dolls w/ Implants

    You would think that they could throw in a doll for the kids for the price you pay for the implants

    Interview HOH or Latent Deaf - HELP!

    Shouldn't you do that in person? lol, word. I work on campus of a small college town and it sure is nice when summer hits and the population drops by about 60% and traffic is non-existent.

    My son is getting a CI

    I totally agree with that. We've been learning ASL "signs" since we found out our son was deaf. My wife and I plan on taking some formal ASL classes when time permits but for now its just books, websites and Signing Time! dvd's which my kids love. We seem to watch them so much that my kids...
