A&EMomma, believe me I know. I rememeber when I was a little kid I thought I was the only dhh kid in the universe. But it's AWESOME that you're giving your kids the Deaf Ed and ASL advantage. We actually do have/had some dhh parents who grew up mainstreamed and oral, who are sending their kids to Deaf Schools and giving them ASL early on!

That was me as well until the calcium took over. Both my kids have bilateral SNHL. Daughter is mild and son is moderate/severe.

Hello!

Awesome to see someone from West Virginia! I was born and raised there and am actually going on vacation up there in one week! It's a beautiful state. Welcome to the forums! I am new too. :P

 

[Sarfarigirl2011]

wow Kristina!
I was like your son before it moved to severe when I noticed the audio report I got in the mail
