Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Thank you for the responses. Anne, since the shortness of breath didn't happen last time I was starting to think " now what?? " . I'm hoping it clears up at least a little before I have the body scan. Lying down for any length of time doesn't appeal to me right now. , I didn't know the ozone levels were way up. You're right, too, that could be contributing. Thanks! I realize now that much of it could be nerves, also. The first time around I was uncertain of what to expect so I didn't let it bother me. I'm also jittery because I really want my scan to be OK so I don't have to keep my appointment with the hospital for another RAI. Whine, whine. lol As most of us know it's great to just have it over with....and then the waiting. Thanks again! Cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many nursery schools have the Mom & Me style thing one or two days a week. I think most in our area have some version of it. And from what I've heard Gymboree programs are all around the country. It's not really " school " with a lot of structure. It's just a chance for him to play with other kids around and learn to interact. Some do glue and painting crafts and the moms help their kids. Honestly, most kids that age don't interact much with each other. It's more parallel play and occasionally fighting over the same toy. (grin) But it is good for them to get together with other kids. They start to learn to share, to wait their turn, and to speak with each other. -- Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hi- My wife & I had this discussion this past September whether to enroll our 26 month old HOH daughter, Ayanna (mod-severe,bilateral loss) into a school for a couple days a week. I work full-time and my wife works four days a week, for the past year, the grandmothers have been helping to take care of our daughter. Now that Ayanna is more active, it has been tougher on the grandmoms. My wife was very reluctant to enroll our daughter, fearing that Ayanna would miss out on 1:1 language stimulation she received at home. On the otherhand, since we both knew we were going to mainstream her, I felt it was important to begin this transition earlier than later. Ayanna is very social amongst adults, however, has shy tendencies when she is around children (we think it is because she has been with 1 adult caregiver everyday since she was born). For me, it was important for Ayanna to begin to develop " social belonging " and have the chance to pick up great language from other hearing children. After much discussion, we enrolled Ayanna 2 days a week full-time this past labor day. I will admit, the first 4 weeks were tough. She cried, even vomitted a couple of times, and would spend the whole day sitting on the teacher's lap. By the fifth week, we saw drastic improvements, no more crying, no more vomitting, and she began to branch out and play next to or with other children. This week has been her 8th week of school and she came home singing " Ayanna, Ayanna, jump up and down...all kids jump! " ---- I learned that this is a song she picked up on her own in school. So not only has this experience been terrific in helping her develop her social skills and confidence, but she is also picking up language --what a bonus! Next year, we will consider her for 3 full-days a week. As many parents have already said, you have to do what you think is best for your child, each child is so different. For us, it was important to put Ayanna into school to help move along her social skills.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hi Hollie - welcome to the list! My older son was diagnosed a bit later than most (he was over 3 years) and they were in daycare because I work outside the home. But I do know that when my boys were in the 3-6 year old bracket, our town paid for them to be in daycare part of the time because they felt the socialization and listening to other kids was important.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Thanks for the insight about school. I had not thought about a mommy and me class I will have to look into that.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hi there and welcome, I'm Debbie, mom to , 6, moderate SNHL and , 3, who is hearing (just not listening). We didn't discover 's loss until she was 2 1/2, so we started with our state's early intervention program for the first 6 months. After that she attended an early childhood program in a neighboring district (our district doesn't have one). She went 5 days a week for 2 3/4 hours. What reasons is your therapist giving you for wanting him to go to school? Is it for socialization or peer modeling (or maybe another reason)? Because my daughter was diagnosed late she had a very large language delay. I was glad that she would be attending school 5 days a week because it was a good thing for her, it fit her need at the time. That's why I ask what reason they have. If the reason sounds like something that you can't provide, then it might be worth considering, even if it only for 2 hours once a week. But if the reason you are given is something that you can do yourself, then maybe it would be best to wait. You know your child best, and you know what will work.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 She wants him to go to be around other normal hearing and speaking kids his age. The only I know our district offers is for kids with disabilities which he does qualify for but his therapist a myself think it would be best him to be in a class were every kid did not have a disability. It would help his speak to be with kids that could talk at the level he should be to help him catch up. I hope that makes since. Anyway that is way I am still looking for something, the only option for us right now is a private preschool which is not very cheap. I will pay because I know he needs it but it's finding one I like in my price range. > > > Date: 2005/10/26 Wed PM 12:15:54 EDT > To: Listen-Up > Subject: Re: Re: new to list > > Hollie Hutchings Hollie Hutchings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two children, Emma (6, typical hearing) and Emmett (3.9, hard of hearing). We chose to skip preschool for Emma and she's in first grade now. Still no plans for Emmett to do preschool, but if language/speech issues arise, we'll reconsider. Though we didn't do a formal school, we did plenty of things outside the house to help them feel comfortable around other people and have interaction. The bonus was, I sometimes saw some other adults! One of the best things I've done is a story school at the library in the next town over. Kids 4 and older go with the librarian to the second floor of the library, sans parents, and listen to stories, sing and do some crafts. I enrolled Emma and she loved it. I enrolled Emmett just this fall and he loves it too. He missed the birthday cutoff but the librarians let him in because I offered to be the parent volunteer. They also know him and know he wears a HA and they thought it would be good experience for them to learn from him. It's been great. There's 25 kids in the group and he has had to ask to sit up front so he can see/hear, it's a lot of activity so he has to learn to keep up with that, or ask for help if he can't. My hope is to not go with him in the spring so he can do these things without me there. I'm not intervening now so that he can get the practice, and we talk about how it went on the ride home. There are lots of activities you can do if you don't feel comfortable with a formal setting. If there is a homeschool organization near you, you can even contact them to get ideas.
