I know , Kay and I are pretty busy with Listen-up so perhaps if this new group were created, someone else would be interested in moderating it? Ian would probably enjoy a list like that. He's a one-of-a-kind around here. If it gets off the ground, I'd volunteer to be a moderator ... would prefer to be one of a several and not a lone wolf. I use to moderate a youth room on AOL ages ago. Sorry to be late in responding to so many things. We've been away for the holidays so I'm slogging my way through a ton of emails.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Since I brought it up, I'll offer to be a moderator. Maggie is in Texas visiting a friend who moved away and today she broke her arm/wrist! So we had our first long distance emergency room visit. She is fine though, hasn't even needed anything for pain, its a hairline fracture. Gruess Gott Inge! We lived in Germany for 3 years from 1976 - 1979, in Schwaebisch Hall - thus the Gruess Gott. in GA Re: Support groups. > > >In a message dated 12/29/2005 6:41:34 P.M.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I know the Yahoo LVAS group is starting-has started a group for HOH teens. I don't think you have to have LVAS to participate. You can log on and ask about it if you don't want to moderate your own group. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/LVAS/ Re: Support groups. In a message dated 12/29/2005 6:41:34 P.M.

Central Standard Time, saraandchadd@... writes: Anyway- I have mentioned in the past how there are absolutely no support networks in Louisiana for HOH children and parents. I know there is the hands and voices network which is a great source of information and some one on one " parent to parent " talk, but even they don't have suggestions of parent support groups in the area. I'm really late in responding to this but I'm wondering if you can try and hook up with the people at the Louisiana Hands & Voices (their email is up and running now!) and team up to run a parent meeting? In IL, we have what we call " Parent Connection " meetings which are two hour meetings for the parents. Sometimes we do parents only, sometimes we plan activities that include the kids in another room with deaf/hh adult volunteers.
