I have had the privilege over the past two years to study ASL here and learn more about Deaf culture, and I have loved it more than I can say (so much that I've tossed around the idea of becoming an interpreter)! Another help might be to talk to other parents who were faced with the same decision - I know that I've talked to a few in some of my classes that went the implant route and didn't teach the child sign, and then found that the child couldn't communicate well enough in either language to get along socially. So maybe a combination of the two? We'll be praying for you guys as you make this decision! If you have any ?s about any of the ASL stuff in the city, the Deaf school, etc., feel free to drop me a line!!jgudhKarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831735860397213655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9797539.post-84320570428028058682007-01-28T13:58:00.000-06:002007-01-28T13:58:00.000-06:00Janie, Dave and Corrina,
Our thoughts and prayers...Janie, Dave and Corrina,<br /><br />Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how hard it can be to communicate with someone who is deaf. It is a learning process, but I know that you guys will all learn together.<br />There are some great people in the WPG area that I know who are deaf. I will see what I can do to get them in touch with you. I know that the gent who taught me my ASL class lives there (Carl), and he is deaf, great person to learn from, and his family is all deaf except one of their children.<br />I know how hard it is to learn to deal with this. But, with great family, great friends, and the Wonderful Lord above, you will all learn, and make it.<br /><br />Hugs from our house to yours.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833266093505986214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9797539.post-3790125770406232862007-01-28T11:12:00.000-06:002007-01-28T11:12:00.000-06:00Well Janie,

I am just sorry that you are going to have a little bit of a hadrer time. this just means you have to work a little harder. But you know what else. God would have never given you Corrina if he didnt' think you and Dave could handle it. We all know how strong you are and that you will make it. And if Corrina is anything like her parents, she is going to do just fine.. <br />love you guys<br />take care.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028988660938781544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9797539.post-14811722272026324182007-01-28T06:40:00.000-06:002007-01-28T06:40:00.000-06:00Wow.
