I got ur email Im sry the cafeteria was closed forgot school is not open yet. i THINK This was an eye opener for him and yeah hell probably end up going there. When I first went there I was shocked to with the Silence but its amazing how they communicate it changed my life forever. He should learn ASL. If you want ASL packets I have let me know. You can even asked his school to put him into an ASL 1 class instead of something he doesnt really want to take next year. Glad you had a great time! I will email you soon the picture from the cafeteria! <br /><br /><br />Yes that a good idea to go back when students are there!<br /><br />Smiles.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02093837696745943661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-81928840756153148752010-08-13T10:07:05.833-04:002010-08-13T10:07:05.833-04:00Thanks!!!!!!!!

We want our hoh son to know there are Gallaudet University and also NTID/RIT where he can continue to fulfill his life as he wishes in both languages or even more if we should relocate to Israel.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559105266924394195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-79066758319693466372010-08-12T20:11:25.453-04:002010-08-12T20:11:25.453-04:00very nice & glad Jordan enjoyed Gally :) thank...very nice & glad Jordan enjoyed Gally :) thanks to you, jodi for being so supportive caring for Deaf & ASL and thanks for sharing!CheryLfromMAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-10716952032450174892010-08-12T19:37:53.517-04:002010-08-12T19:37:53.517-04:00Nothing wrong. just a different world that's a...Nothing wrong. just a different world that's all.

Many students there come from mainstreamed programs. As you have seen, some of them have exclusively oral upbringings.<br /><br />Anon, what's wrong with Jordan wearing his cochlear implant? If he feels very comfortable using it? Many students use their hearing aids at Gally.mishkazenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714824721166601510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-11283266219886643352010-08-12T16:08:57.741-04:002010-08-12T16:08:57.741-04:00He should try going to that school with his implan...He should try going to that school with his implant off... it get very visual without sounds distracting you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-854575870070704513.post-3034336700821517262010-08-12T15:07:41.732-04:002010-08-12T15:07:41.732-04:00Wow -- sounds like a great tour. I'm waiting ...Wow -- sounds like a great tour. I'm waiting to hear back from an ASL instructor about whether she's available for private lessons. Watching all the vlogs on youtube just makes me that much more determined to learn ASL. Even the ones that are virulently anti-CI (and those are the ones that pop up whenever I happen to be watching someone's CI activation video, or something like that) are intriguing. I can pick out a few signs, but it all goes by so fast. I have this fantasy in which Ben and I take one of those ASL immersion courses over at RIT in a few years.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065377267682881396noreply@blogger.com
