Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 BlankToday I received some great videos and info in the mail. It deals primarily with auditory/oral auditory/verbal communications. The web address is www.oraldeafed.org They will send information to you for free. It took about a week. The children that were in the videos gave me such hope for my own son. We have chosen AVT. Even if you have chosen something else I still recommend this. To see what these children have accomplished is beyond my wildest dreams. They also have a small part about CI too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 Hello to all. It is possible that the US Army will grant our request to send our family back to the United States from Germany this summer. We have several choices of assignments. We are looking for anyone who might have information on the following places that would be helpful to us for our children. Colorado School for the Deaf, Colorado Springs Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind, Hampton, Virginia Kendell Demonstration Elementary School-t Clerc National Deaf Ed Center, Campus of Gallaudet Thanks for any help. Tammy Mom to 9, 6-she just had her birthday (both normal hearing) and 3 (profound loss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 I lived in both Colorado Springs and DC. My son went to Kendall in the PIP to preschool then we moved to Colorado. I was going to originally put him into the CSDB school but they had this one school which used tc, It is Jefferson Elem. School. I also have a daughter who is HI and another hearing daughter. I was able to send all my kids to this one school. My son and daughter loved their HI teachers and the school has about 30 HI kids with all degrees of hearing loss they all use FMs.. and they use SEE they also do some integration into the mainstream classrooms... Now we are back in DC and I have them both in Kendall (which my daughter was not eligible to go to when we lived here last time). And I had to basically push this time because she is more oral then sign... Kendall is nice but it is a strong ASL environment. Both of my children's teachers are deaf. If you live in DC the best place to send them is to Kendall but some parents are able to send there kids to Fairfax County in VA which has a school that uses TC but you have to work the spec. Ed here and they are slow as H*!! then you have to deal with transportation and its a long trip for the kids... another thing you have to live within a 15 mile radius of kendall for them to pick up at your home, if not you have to bring them to pick up points or to the school itself.. If you have other kids I would seriously consider not moving to DC, or start early to find them a good school. I can get some numbers for you in Co. and DC of the schools if you need them. Just let me know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 What part of the Springs is Jefferson Elementary?? I grew up in the Colorado Springs and have been considering moving back there later this year to be near my family if my husband gets stationed in San Diego. I would be near King Elem. Just curious... --- ShelB55@... wrote: > I lived in both Colorado Springs and DC. > My son went to Kendall in the PIP to preschool then > we moved to Colorado.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Its considered District 11, 1801 N. Ave. I forget the street names but I believe it is off of Palmer Park(?) going west. We lived on Pete so it was only about 5-10 minutes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
