Greetings everyone! My name is LaTrice and I am the mother of a 15yr old daughter that has been diagnosed as being mild congnitive delayed. At age 7 she was diagnosed with having an irreversible hearing loss that does not allow her to hear high pitch or consonant sounds. To look at her you couldn't tell there's anything wrong with her. Her body is developing at a much faster speed than her brain. She's verbal but her speech is severely impaired and sometimes its hard to make out what she's saying. It's been a struggle, I gotta tell ya. I do understand how hard it is to talk to people who don't have a child of their own like ours. They do their best, but they don't get it! I'm reaching out to other parents like myself for encouragement and advice. I want to teach her as much as possible but she learns at a very slow pace. I would love to hear any encouraging feedback. Be it here or I can be emailed at [email protected]. I welcome any and all responses. Im so happy there is somewhere I can go to vent without being judged by people who "just don't understand" what this is like. It's been 15yrs and one would think I'd be use to her condition by now but I still cry about it. It's hard raising her all while trying to work to provide for us. We live in the Chicagoland area so I would love to chat with parents nearby that can maybe provide me with some resources here in the city. Near or far....I would love to chat with ANYONE who understands. ↓
