I hope everyone took the opportunity to vote last Tuesday.  I was off work and after voting took the time to start organizing YouTube videos.  I have them organized by various categories… here are 3 of them.

This is not an endorsement for the products on this site, but I think the FAQ is an interesting read for parents (answered by a teacher in Deaf Education).

See the responses to questions like…

  • Question: The educational experts are telling me not to sign to my deaf baby because he won’t be normal and won’t learn to talk if he learns to sign.
  • Question: The doctor told me not to worry about my deaf baby.  "She will be fine", he says. Is that true?
  • Question: I have been trying to make sense of all the information I have been given since finding out my child is deaf.  It is so confusing and conflicting.  Who is right?  Who should I believe? Who can I trust?
  • Question: The doctor says my two year old doesn’t have a hearing loss.  He says he is just slow in responding and developing, but will be ok.  He says, just give him time.
