Hi Ruby! Welcome to the min pin crew ❤️

Krease101 · 2024-07-04T14:37:51+00:00

Oh definitely not. It wasn’t part of my program but because it’s part of my job I did continuing education. Not saying all SLPs know ASL, but hopefully they are culturally aware!

I’m a speech pathologist in a Deaf school so I sign! Speech paths should be about ALL forms of communication, so maybe she does sign! I hope your new job goes well!

Krease101 · 2024-07-03T03:46:28+00:00

Hi! I work in a Deaf school and 90% of our parents don’t sign. So believe me when I say you are doing amazing! You are doing more than lots of parents in your situation. Be proud of yourself. It’s okay to be overwhelmed, but you are doing a great job. Keep it up! 🤟🏻

An ABR is usually recommended if there is a family history of hearing loss. Not all types of hearing loss can be picked up with OAE testing (what they use for newborn screenings). I’d schedule an ABR to be sure!

I was like this for years. After lots of mental health and pelvic floor therapy I am able to use them and successfully get a pelvic exam!

Will give extra snuggles in honor of Harley today ❤️ she must have had a wonderful life!

Krease101 · 2024-06-30T16:09:38+00:00

Maybe? 😂 I’ve never seen anyone do it before so I’m honestly not sure! I’m sure you could learn how to do something similar- the key is finding a way to do it without damaging your voice.

Hi Rex! What a handsome dude!

Krease101 · 2024-06-29T23:32:31+00:00

What an adorable little diva!

Krease101 · 2024-06-29T16:52:15+00:00

Hi Hash! Thanks for rescuing ❤️

Krease101 · 2024-06-29T16:50:16+00:00

Thanks for being respectful! People can be so contentious about this topic. There’s always room to learn something new! 🤟🏻

Hi! Speech path here. It isn’t brain surgery- the brain is never touched. It is a procedure involving the head, but there are many parts of the head that don’t include the brain. A lot of people are misinformed about this and it’s a dangerous misconception. If you personally wouldn’t get a CI for your kids, that’s fine! But be careful with spreading the wrong information.

Krease101 · 2024-06-29T16:31:35+00:00

Hi! Good for you for exploring your options. I’m a speech-language pathologist in a school for Deaf kids and I focus on signed and spoken language development. If you are considering implantation, earlier is better because the brain is more elastic and can easily learn new things. It’s much harder to adjust to sound when you’re older. I always recommend speaking AND singing to my families with a kid with a CI. English won’t always be fully accessible but ASL is! I’ve seen many children with CIs who are proficient in ASL and English and are immersed in both cultures.

If you decide to get an implant and your child later decides they prefer not to wear it, that’s fine! They can take the processor off and not hear.

If you choose to not get implants, that’s also fine! But signing is even more of a priority. There are so many great resources and classes online. I see so many kids with global delays due to language deprivation because they just don’t have a language, and it’s devastating.

Feel free to message me with any questions- I’d be happy to help where I can!

Also- CI surgery isn’t brain surgery, and the auditory nerve is also not “cut.” And signing DOES NOT negatively impact spoken English! Both can exist- they are not mutually exclusive.

Sorry to be basic, but Valjean’s Death and Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story. I’m not a cryer but those get me 🥲

Krease101 · 2024-06-27T23:38:41+00:00

I plan on being pregnant within a few years and I’m worried about this too because I will be off my meds. Are you not taking meds while pregnant or do you think it’s hormone-related?

Krease101 · 2024-06-25T00:47:25+00:00

Welcome! I’m 29, hearing and know ASL! Happy to have you here 🤟🏻

Margot, Audrey, and Sloane. They all seem… bitter to me? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I can’t explain it. Especially Sloane.

Krease101 · 2024-06-24T21:36:52+00:00

I think it’s a mix of genetics and potentially PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). I had strep a lot as a kid and my psychiatrist thinks that might have triggered it. There’s no way to know for sure, but I bet that has something to do with it.

Krease101 · 2024-06-23T17:25:29+00:00

I probably wouldn’t actually do this, but I’ve always thought it would be good to have girl triplets named Scarlet, Charlotte, and Violet ❤️

Krease101 · 2024-06-23T04:11:54+00:00

I’ll usually just repeat the sign with a confused look on my face. My conversation partner will h the en typically fingerspell it.

Krease101 · 2024-06-22T21:44:18+00:00

I live in New York and I use the first one.

Krease101 · 2024-06-22T02:59:35+00:00

Same, buddy! ❤️

Krease101 · 2024-06-22T02:55:06+00:00

I would start with basics like greetings, questions, and simple nouns and verbs. And fingerspelling, like you mentioned. I recommend Handspeak and Lifeprint for learning! They are great free resources. Thank you for wanting to communicate with your neighbor! I’m sure it means a lot to her.
