Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 jackie im curious about the ci kid who do not have speech discrimination... is it becuase they have not had the therapies or support? is it something to do with hwo their brain is? im sure this is complicated topic. in my oral deaf mainstream program, there some kids who were expert lipreaders and did awesome and then there were alwys other s who struggled more. i think in any deaf educational setting you will alwys have a few who are doing really well then you have some who still have hard time and some who are doing alright. somehow i thouth a ci woudl put every ci child in category of mild /borderline hearing and thus be funcition at close levels as thier peers. is this not happening? i can understand if there are other disabilities along with deafness, learning problems and the like. in what capacity do you work with ci kids jackie? teacher? joni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Jackie, Hearing sounds at a mild level is not the same as UNDERSTANDING speech. While the mapping can provide audibility to just about everyone, there is no guarantee how much discrimination any individual will get. ____________________________________________ Best Regards, Brad Ingrao, M.S.Ed.
