I am so nervous. Today is my daughter’s last day at the California School for Deaf-Riverside ( CSDR) they have been so good to my daughter & family, but we are moving to Tx next week and she will attend the Texas School for Deaf ( TSD) we toured it & really liked it, but we’re all nervous...

TY for the replies. She gave me a HUGE hug and thanked me & her dad for looking into Austin and moving if its best for her. We visit TSD in 2 weeks. Ive looked into after school art classes for her here, but no luck. I did find an after school program for young artist in Austin, so we're looking...

Absolutely nothing wrong with CSDR, we love the school, but my daughter is so talented and she needs to be in a city and environment that can enrich that :)

I apologize if you have been asked this before, have you considered a Hearing Dog to assist you? They go through so much training and are completely loyal to you. Im applying for one for my daughter when she turns 18. a lot you have to be 18. Shes 12 & have had some really scary events occur...

How long is your thesis required to be? Will it be a general focus or will you have it broken down into different categories under a general foundation? Just curious?

I know this post is super old, but little update. She is moving on to middle school at CSDR. Her ASL just took off and she signs so fast now! She has had slumber parties, gone to amusement parks, beaches.. Its great. I feel awful b/c we may move to Tx and enroll her in the TSD Austin. She is soo...

That should be a federal law with the ADA, Theres community movie nights my daughter misses out on because theres no caption.It makes me angry and sad. I just get the run around when asked. Breaks my heart.

so I decided to join a fb parents with cochlear implants online group. I am removing myself from it. I just dont feel like I fit in with the conversations and ideas of the parents in the forum. To be honest I REGRET having my daughter implanted. I feel terrible for all she has gone through...

After years of planning the big move from NC to CA, my daughter finally has a start date in 2 weeks! We toured CSD-R 2yrs ago and moved to Ca a few months ago & yes she will be starting! She said shes nervous b/c the kids know more sign language than her, I told her she will catch up :) Her...

They did her mappings quite often & turned it down to see if that was the issue. They also interrogated her implant & found nothing, but we all decided just in case have it switched out. Thats when she had the revision. But she kept saying over " i hate the fake voices" sometimes she put it on &...

So I posted last month about my daughter that was implanted at 18 months. Shes turning 11 & we no longer make her wear her processor. She has always disliked it but we felt pressured to make her wear it, go to speech therapy, etc. She will be now starting shortly at a School for the Deaf, Its...

Thank you everyone, so we are still waiting for her to start! They have all the paperwork & all the referals have been made, her IEP has been updated.. :/ hopefully any day now.. Im just anxious & excited for her to have friends & an entire school campus she can be herself & relate to. When we...

I have a 2 year old daughter that was implanted 9 months ago.I believe we as parents know in our hearts what is best for our family and children.Just know, our decisions may not always be a "perfect decision" in someone eles's eyes,but its our decision.I feel pressure from all the "experts" at...

Thanks for all the advice, I will speak with her audiologist about what has been going on. Today I noticed she was not responding at all, so I checked her processor and sure enough, the cord was broke again!(this is the fourth cord since activation). I am going to look into some sort of support...

My daughter was implanted 9 months ago (she is 2 yrs.old), and Im starting to feel pressure with her communication.We sign with her as well as speak orally with her.Im just starting to get concerned because her ASL has slowed as well as her progress with her implants.I feel like its all my fault...

Hello, I just needed to talk to someone that would understand. Sometimes I get frustrated because everyone I know has hearing babies or the people that i talk to with deaf children dont have the same views i do. Sometimes I feel so alone.My daughter was implanted 4 months ago. I still sign with...
