Oh, the annual IEP meetings!
Just like getting a root canal, only without the meds! The hours that were spent on those stupid, boring meetings are hours I'll never get back. I don't miss having an IEP, that's for sure.

IEP meetings = yawn (how about being a mother having to go to these meetings for 2 deaf children?)

Wonder if you had "tcwbat..." over and over in the paperwork?

tcwbat = the child will be able to....

Interesting thread! I am happy to see that this thread has changed from an innaccurate statement about CI, to something valuable. I agree that some parents think that mainstreaming is the cure to everything. I personally want my daughter to mainstream. But only after she is ready. Not a minute sooner. In march, we will have to decide to keep her at CID (at our own cost) or move her to the SSD preschool. While I have heard awesome things about the SSD here, I think we are going to keep her where she is until they say she is ready. I would hate to move her to SSD to early just to bring her back to CID because she was not ready. That would put her behind educationally, and emotionally.

You know, Fragmenter and his sister grew up in the SSD system -- we actually enrolled Fragmenter in CID after we first found out he was deaf, but took him out a month later and placed him in the SSD and when we found out his younger sister was also deaf, we decided to place her right into the SSD. BUT remember CID was very different back then -- 25 years ago. We are very happy we decided to put our children into the SSD -- and I'm glad you are saying you are hearing awesome things about the SSD.

Yeah I know, that is full of bull shit. CI would NEVER help with young children. I wish, the Parents would listen to the Deaf adults who are successful their education and careers without CI.

Cannot wait for Fragmenter to tell you of his son's success a year down the road! Maybe even last week? Please don't be so negative on here -- if you disagree, please stay away and keep your opinion to yourself.
Thank you...

By saying young children, how young are you talking about?
Seven?
I was implanted at the age of seven--never looked back.
I think saying that CIs "never" help young children is very strong--some do benefit from a CI at a very young age. Obviously, CIs are not for everyone, but they do benefit more people than you're implying.

Seven? Cool! By the way, welcome to the AD -- I live in St. Louis too...

My grandson is 5 years old...

Kalista, Kalista,

What kind of STUPID remark is that!
Have a look at my daughter.
And don't give me "everyone's different" crap, because your statement was very clear.

It's sad that that is your attitude.
You don't have to agree about when children are implanted and start hearing, but your statement is completely NONSENSE.
In fact (And I've been waiting to used this....)

Hey Lillys dad! Glad you got your computer back! I agree -- Kalista is NOT welcome on here if she is going to keep that attitude!

You're saying that CIs are at an increased risk of developing OCD later in life?

I've just googled cochlear implants and long term risks and according to my search, the long term risks are not known yet. The best known risks are that of facial nerve damage and increased risk of meningitis with early CIs.

Since I mentioned that I have a oc spectrum disorder which is not same as OCD in an earlier post , I should mention that I've never had a CI and that I wear a HA over my left ear. I get no benefits from HA for my right ear. I rarely wear my HA for my left ear nowadays because of problems with tinnitus and certain noises can worsen it when I wear my HA.

Like you, deafskeptic, I would like to see proof. Since CIs don't make people stupid, nor do they cause LD, now they cause OCD--it makes sense...not.

OCD isn't make people looks stupid, most of them are still smart but take action again and again.

*sigh* Yes, I know what OCD is and I know it has nothing to do with how smart you are.
volcomskatz said:
Well, some rumors said that CI can cause to increasing OCD when getting older but not alot of cases got it, also not sure about side effect with CI.

Here's your quote regarding OCD, and it's hard to understand your writing. My guess is that you're saying that CIs are at an increased risk of developing OCD later in life? Am I correct?

Probably but it was rumors that what said but counselor haven't start obversation with OCD that can match to CI related or not.

That's a shitload of bullshit.

Remember, CI is started in last 21 years ago but its still too younger to find any side effect or whatever, counselor haven't start obversation or research with OCD.

If rumors are correct then not surprised but how would connect to nerves, if not connect to nerves then CI will not work properly.

Look at picture, it how CI would work properly to bring sounds.

So if there are no side-effects now, after 20+ years.. we should just wait.....

And babbling about nerves???? CI's are NOT attatched to nerves. They are inside the cochlea. It STIMULATES the nerve - without touching....
 
Too much debate... People is just loyal with CI and don't want prove if would happen in future.

Now, I'm getting out of here... this thread need to locked...

this thread sucks
