Interaction is hard. You have to pay attention to the other person as well as anticipate what they are going to do, and then react when they do something. We don't think about that as adults, it seems easy for us. We know how people are going to finish their sentences or where a story is going before it gets halfway there. We anticipate which way a person is about to walk by their body language -- and we don't even realize we're doing it. Little guys have yet to learn all that. Interacting is a skill they learn by doing it over and over. Best -- Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Sandy,. Welcome! I'm Jill, mom to a 15-year-old D/HOH son, Ian. He is a mainstreamed sophomore in our local high school. His is currently a bilateral moderate loss, but since it's a progressive loss, where it ends up is anybody's guess. I don't have any experience with Down's syndrome, but I believe there are list-mates here who do. This is a great, very supportive list-serve. What's wonderful is that everyone tries to help each other and understands that we each find solutions that work for our own kids. That's what makes something a success. What works for mine won't work for many others. But hearing stories about how other people made their decisions helps me when it comes time to make choices. This place is such a great resource, an amazing collection of knowledge. So ask any questions you have and we'll try to help you find answers. Or just jump into an ongoing thread. There are no rules or protocols about joining an ongoing thread (aside from basic manners and respect). So jump in if you have something to offer, or to ask about something you don't understand. There are no stupid questions. We've all asked things we thought were so-o-o-o dumb -- acronyms are the things that confuse me most often. (sigh) Again, welcome.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi Sandy, Just wanted to say hello. I'm Debbie, mom to who is 6 and has a moderate sensorinueral hearing loss and also to who is 3 and is hearing. 's loss wasn't discovered until she was two and a half so most of her early language was missing many beginning and ending sounds. Currently she is sporting beige Oticon Adaptos with red glitter ear molds. She still has trouble today with certain sounds and has recently begun to " think " that she knows what has been said. There have certainly been a few funny mistakes. Most recently was when I asked her to get me a " good knife " . She looked at me with this odd look and said, " Mom, I'm not tired, why do you say good night? " I laughed and explained what I had really said. Even she thought it was funny. Debbie, mom to and sjdodd@... wrote: Hello! I just signed on to your wonderful listserve and wanted to say hello! My son is 10 years old and has Down syndrome. He was recently fitted for Oticon Tego BTE hearing aids (he chose dark green!) Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.
