It is a little better most of the time than your son's, usually between 50 and 60, but will also fluctuate up to between 80 and 90. My daughter is auditory-oral but also is learning sign language and has in interpreter at school. We still have the tears at times when she can't get her point across but they are rare now. Petya has made lots of progress in language and now even strangers can understand most of what she says. I am convinced that sign language saved the sanity of both of us. She understood the concept of language but could not make herself understood verbally. Sign language really opened a door for us. This year Petya has the option of telling her interpreter if she wants the terp to accompany her to mainstream class or not. So far Petya has rejected the terp in music and PE. When Petya goes to science and social studies the terp goes with her but Petya has asked her not to sign. Petya still needs to get clarification from the terp on some points but I now can see her eventually reaching the point where she will be able to get along without the terp in most situations. ( I think she may always need it in large group, assembly type settings.) On days when her hearing is very low or when she can't wear her hearing aids she needs the terp. There was a discussion here recently about all the different communication modes and what people are doing so I don't want to go into a lot of detail. The bottom line is that different modes work for different families and different children. I see nothing wrong with a total communication approach and if you are being told that Oral-auditory is the only approach then they have not considered a continuum of options. I gather from your post you are not being told this by the school. My opinion is that you need to decide what your approach is going to be. Find your doctors and therapists that will support your approach and then you go to the school for services. Some doctors are not willing to support you and you have to push. There have been doctors who I have told, " look you need to stop thinking this child is on an assembly line and this is what we need and we need your help. " This startled a couple of doctors who said you are right, what can I do? A couple took offense and one even asked me when I went to medical school. You don't go back to those doctors. You may not have this option if you are in the military. Your only obligation is to do what is best for your child and your family. You are working on doing just that. The rest of us will help you however we can. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Navy doctor, who never saw me before in his life, take my thyroid medicine and throw it in the waste basket. I gained 50 lbs. in three months and, even though I was put back on the medicine, it was 50 lbs. I was never able to lose because I had not eaten it on. After that I would only see a corpsman for things like stitches, etc. and a private doctor for the rest. I do not know what the insurance setup is now but we had Champus at that time for outside doctors.

Can someone tell > me in real human language what it is. The best place for finding this out is being reorganized, so you can read the text, but the pictures aren't there: http://www.audiology.org/consumer/understandaudio/uya.htm The next best thing is How To Read Your Hearing Test: http://www.earinfo.com/howread1.html Here is an audiogram chart that I always find very helpful: http://www.gohear.org/tech/audio.html One reason I like this one for new parents to use is because it has pcitures of different environmental sounds on it as points of reference. I may not be sure how loud 55dB is at 125hz, but this chart tells me that's how loud an " in the window " air conditioner is " , and now I understand. ;-) (Actually I do know how loud it is, from years of experience, but you get my point). > We were told by service providers that Oral - Auditory was our best and > basically only education option. I have been reading a lot and do not really > agree at this point in the totality of " only option. " I don't like it when providers try to choose our options for us. You've got a whole list of options available to you. One of the reasons I'm so against others making these choices for us is because they don't have to live with their decision, you do. Fully investigate your options. There is a complete list of options on my web site: http://members.tripod.com/listenup/basics.htm And I'll pass along the words of another parent who allowed me to add them to my basics page: " These educational decisions you are thinking about take a long time to " gel " ..... lots to consider on your part. Use your resourcefulness to find what you have available within a reasonable driving distance and visit them all. Talk with the directors, meet with parents, see if there are support groups, meet kids in the program (younger and older). During this process you'll get in touch with your own internal resources too..... abilities, time, emotional support, finances, etc. I believe that you have to take this journey personally no matter what other people's experiences are. Only you know what's right for your family and what's available to support you. " > We are being told " He > will be fine, don't worry, just give it time. " He has lost so much time > already. Actually I think these 2 statments could be combined. IF you jump on the gun and start getting language into him (by any communication method), and getting his needs taken care of, he will be fine. And you're right, our kids have already lost a lot of time and don't have the luxury of time to wait for things to start happening. But the reality is that you'll often have to wait. It's something that's very frustrating for me personally, and for many other parents. As others have said, you'll just have to do the best you can with the cards you're delt, but that doesn't mean you can't try to talk the dealer into slipping you another card or two. ;-) > He has not stopped with the " jargon " since. He gets real mad when he cannot > get his point across etc. His little tears flow and I want to just die. It's good that he's using jargon, this is a normal developmental step for kids. I'm lucky in that these first early years with my son seemed to have some sort of inner ability to communicate and his frustrations weren't quiet as bad. When possible, try to learn his " jargon words " (for our son, one of his was " pee-pee " for " cookie " . Imagine the confusion that one would often cause with strangers.) In the early stages, there's nothing wrong with making up some communication posters with pictures of things he's most likely going to want to get across; pictures of his favorite foods in the kitchen, favorite toys and daily activities in the bedroom. This way he can point to get his idea across, and you can feed the language for that idea back to him, in any of the communication methods you choose. The key to making him not dependent on this is to increase your expectations. When you know he understands the system, then you start expecting some response back when you give him the language. At first it may only be a nod of understanding, but whatever it is, when he's doing that regularly, you up the ante and expect some attempt at responding in the mode you demonstrated (some utterance if you voiced, some hand movement if you signed). As they master this, then require closer and closer approximations. > I had always known something was wrong. The > DR's did not agree. He saw two different military DR's. I was told " he'll > come around, you are overprotective, kids do these things, etc. " Egad! It's deja vue all over again!!! Where are you stationed (and if you tell me Keesler, I'll personally go kick some butt!) I'm assuming you're still in the military? If you need any help or suggestions on getting through the military system, let us know.

Just to let you know as a " heads up " >Terry Terry, I appreciate what you are saying. Petya is in a total communication class and goes out only for specials and for science/social studies. (Less than 50% of her day.) This is part of the overall plan to help her get along without the interpreter. The terp is actually a signing aide that works in her classroom and also goes out with whichever child is being mainstreamed at the time. There are five kids in the hearing impaired class and all are coming and going all the time. Petya needs the aide due to learning disabilities as well and it is the aides job to see that she understands what was covered. Also it is the aides job when the two of them come back to the HI classroom to review what was said and she signs when she reviews. Petya has difficulty learning new language and cannot grasp a word and " own " it verbally without learning how to sign it first. Once she learns it with the sign she drops the sign and then can use it without the sign. So the aide is there to help with language acquisition and is technically not an interpreter. Although the last two years the aide was signing everything. I am sorry I was not more clear in my original post. Thank you for pointing out what may be a problem for others.

This is significant, but you should realize that language delays in deaf children are not uncommon except when they are deaf of deaf, so don't beat yourself up about the numbers. Your son needs language asap, in any form, so you need to work hard to get it into him. A-V is a fine methodology, but it takes time for the benefits to really pay off. Research all of the methodologies and choose one soon, and dive into it head first. You can always change it later. Don't be afraid of this. I have two deaf children, both prelingual profound, both raised first with pidgin sign and transitioned into auditory-oral. Neither of them had a problem with this transition.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 1999 Report Share Posted September 5, 1999 Hi Jo, My son is 4-1/2 years old now. He was diagnosed at two years of age. His loss is around 60 db at the lowest frequencies, about 80-85 db at 500/1000/2000 Hz, and drops quickly after than to no response above 4000 Hz in the left ear. When he has been tested on the mainland (we live in a rural part of Hawaii, but take him to Los Angeles annually for testing), the assumption by the people there is that he will be auditory/oral successfully. The reality of the situation where we live is that the only class for deaf/hoh kids is Total Communication, where they simultaneously sign and speak. The signing is Pidgin Sign English. As a result, he is in a TC program, which we might not have chosen if we had more options. I have to say that signing, in 's case, has helped him immensely in his language acquisition. He learns a sign first, then learns the spoken word, usually dropping the sign after that. His preferred mode of expressing himself is orally (he talks a lot!), but signing improves his comprehension. If we had relied on the oral approach alone, I do not think would be doing as well as he is today. I am glad we were sort of " forced " into Total Communication, because it has turned out to be a good method for him. One thing to watch for--those who advocate the auditory/oral approach may tell you that if you use sign language, your child won't talk. My son's experience shows that this is not a reliable statement. Watch out for those who talk in absolutes. Each child is different, and there are really no absolutely wrong or right decisions. Good luck! Dixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 1999 Report Share Posted September 5, 1999 Hello Jo, And welcome to the list. You have come to the right place for support and information from the EXPERTS " the parents " !!! I have a 12 month old son , who was dx at birth with a hearing loss, I completely understand how confused you must be, but as alot of parents on this list will tell you, There is no ONE best way, go by your heart, and by your gut, and most of all follow your child's lead!!!And if you try one option, don't worry it is not set in stone you can change as your families' needs change.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 1999 Report Share Posted September 6, 1999 Pidgin sign is PSE, or Pidgin Signed English. It is not a signed language, rather it uses ASL and regional signs in English word order. It's like a combination of SEE and ASL, but it is not a language. We used it as a way to get vocabulary into them early and to establish communication.
