Kansas School for the Deaf is in Olathe. Much more interesting then HLAA, especially for young people. http://www.ksdeaf.org/

Very funny. But yeah, there are still deaf losses where they can benefit from HA. Response to hearing tech is almost indivdual, Remember how back in the 80's and '90's there were still lots of kids in oral deaf programs with HA?

People can still benefit from hearing aids if they're severe/profound. A deaf loss doesn't auotmaticly qualify you for a CI

Opt for BTEs. Those are the most powerful and can give you the best sound. Yes, try ASL. ASL and deaf culture are a lot more fun for younger dhh people, rather then the Hearing Health 101 approach that's like reading one of those pamphets that you get from the audilogistss.

She has moderate loss in her other ear, and there are still deaf people who can get to HOH levels with hearing aids. Not all deaf people automaticly qualify for CIs.

Intel? Are you looking for a Deaf James Bond?

The problem isn't CIs. The problem is AVT mentality where dhh kids just need a speech exclusive approach with little/no ASL or exposure to the hearing world. You see the exact same thing with HOH people with HAs. The answer is to give kids everything!

Yup....kinda obvious

You do realize that word is a slur right?

WOW! Welcome back!

Oh yeah, I forgot that you were in Oregon, and it's mostly just outreach right? No formal classes any more. I'm wondering if you could take advantage of Washington School for the Blind's resources. I just checked and their school is only for 6th through 12th graders. Too bad as I was thinking...

Welcome!

That's b/c everyone wandered over to FB

Welcome back!! So your five year old is low vision? Contact your state's School for the Blind, and give her everything.....and if it turns out she is HOH, she'll have all the tools available to her! Yes, this place is DEAD....missing the old days when it was wicked active. I'm still here thou!

But it is NOT the answer. Speech skills can be very useful, but just b/c a kid can speak, it doesn't mean that they will automaticly be high literate. In fact many oral exclusive kids, especially those who didn't attend an oral deaf school or a program, still have issues with reading and...

Nope why? Check into it. You might be able to do it!

Oooo!!! Yeah, look into it....I actually would check into both that and the Newton North Program, and see which school might be a good fit for you! The camps would be AMAZING..... Check out American School for the Deaf's Iso Bella. It's in the Berkshires! You could also go to Gally or NTID for...

Welcome! There's a huge generation of us who missed out on Deaf stuff, so you're not alone

No. It's in Washington DC but is open to all dhh kids in all 50 states. http://www3.gallaudet.edu/mssd.html Just suggesting it b/c it could be an AMAZING program! TLC might be good but it also seems to be like they would expect you to be fluent for high school. Are you in the suburbs? Newton...

I thought you could request to attend MSSD as a senoir if you wanted.... You should look into it maybe
