Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 She is in 2nd grade and just turned 8. She has had her CI for 3 years in July. She went from no speech to being mostly oral socially but not necessarily academically. Reading just started to click this year. She went from being a non reader to reading at a first grade level all since Sept. I hope we continue to see that kind of growth, it is truly amazing:) Tammy > > > Date: 2006/02/18 Sat PM 05:29:15 EST > To: <Listen-Up > > Subject: Re: UPDATE!! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Our son is an auditory learner too. He also rarely used his cued speech transliterator. Now that he uses CART, he still only uses it intermittently during complicated material such as the genetics they've been studying in Biology, etc where lots of new concepts/words and ideas are introduced. He'll glance over so quickly and read a paragraph in a glance and they often think that he's not using it, but he does when he's having a bad hearing day or is tired. He relies mostly on his fm but without the CART will get lost and confused as he doesn't have a resource to fill in when he hits a gap. -------------- Original message -------------- > My son with a CI has a cued speech transliterator but doesn't really > watch her.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Ditto here. Maggie is an auditory learner. Her SRT scores are in the 90's but she goes to 40% in noise, so she really needs help listening in the classroom. She has very acute visual skills and observes all kinds of things that kids don't really notice but she is not a visual learner. For instance, at age 6 or 7 she noticed that a child with down syndrome had unusual hands. in GA Re: Re: UPDATE!! > > >Our son is an auditory learner too.
