| What do the hearing tests show? What percentage is the hearing loss if there is any. I have 2 cousins who were born deaf and both life very productive lives and learned to speak as well as sign. It is frustrating for both of you but don't give up hope. get in touch with the hearing society if he is in fact deaf. It may be something else that is wrong. You really need to know exactly what you are dealing with. After the tests are done I recommend that you try Anat Baniel Method for Children. Check it out online. If you are within traveling distance to Toronto ON there will be a Free Children's Clinic on Oct. 17. My therapist works with one family who have one deaf child and one blind one.There are other FCCs around.Check for someone close to you who does the method . I have seen many kids make great progress! It has certainly helped me. I would be in a wheelchair without it. In the US check Anat's site-www.anatbanielmethod.com/, in Canada check www.uptownstudio.ca ,also www.freechildrensclinic.org/ This therapy works with the person's brain. It is useful for any situation regardless of the disability. If I had been aware of this therapy when I was working with all those kids in special needs day care I'd have sent all the parents to get this treatment for their children. I am not aware of anything that is as good. ↑ |
