debbie (ID=12) (Nov 28, 2000 9:26:53 PM)
Peggy I am most familiar with the Easy Listener...that's the one Sarah uses and we really like it
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 9:28:00 PM)
OK. The school is providing the trainer right now. They said for 30 day trial. If it works, they may do some kind of speaker instead of headset at a later time.
debbie (ID=12) (Nov 28, 2000 9:28:22 PM)
How are they goign to measure if it is working?
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 9:28:46 PM)
If he seems to do better in class with focus, attention, etc.
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 9:29:46 PM)
Any recommendations?
debbie (ID=12) (Nov 28, 2000 9:30:12 PM)
a little girl in class told me after the first morning that sarah seemed to answer faster with that "hearing thing"
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 9:30:45 PM)
I will be at the school tomorrow to read to the class. I hope to see how it goes then...
debbie (ID=12) (Nov 28, 2000 9:30:49 PM)
ask him if he can tell a difference and keep a log of any comments he makes
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 9:31:01 PM)
The log is a good idea. I will.
debbie (ID=12) (Nov 28, 2000 9:31:44 PM)
Kathy,, I"m sorry that Dr M could not complete the testing today
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:32:39 PM)

Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:34:29 PM)

Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 9:45:43 PM)

Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:45:49 PM)

Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:52:05 PM)
kathy: is your child in school? did anyone discuss soundfield fm systems?
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:52:19 PM)

Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:52:40 PM)

Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:52:58 PM)
kathy: when you say "mild", can you give me a little more detail about what that means in his case... what range of db levels are we talking about?
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:53:24 PM)

Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:53:31 PM)

Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:53:54 PM)
The test was this morning. I dont know the dbs wil have to wait for the report
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:54:12 PM)
I think it was 20
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 9:54:13 PM)
Marge..they want him to be eval'd by a language therapist at Shands. They also said with the ?#$%? test they did, that he has 93% of ?? in his right ear, and 0% ?? in his left....I'll let you know next week...
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:54:23 PM)
kathy: oh, i understand... no problem
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 9:54:44 PM)
Marge....I'm LOST without my results in front of me!! Can you tell?!?!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:54:47 PM)
deb: the ?#$%? test.... hmm, i don't remember reading about that one :-)
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 9:55:17 PM)
Kathy - your son sounds like where we were 2 yrs ago - he couldn't do enough to get the diagnosis (he was 4 @ the time) and now he is 7.5. We just got back today from SUNY Buffalo - . Every "expert" in their field has said they have never seen anything like Drew. Drew can "hear" sound - but with the right ear he has very little processing or understanding, while the left is better but not normal. Like two people speaking differently in each ear. Add on to that severe apraxia - not a good day - but this is more info than we have had previously.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:56:17 PM)
kathyc: did they run any of the evoked potential tests at buffalo? (wow, you must've had a full day!)
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 9:56:23 PM)
KathyC our eval was this morning at Unniverstiy or Florida
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:56:40 PM)
ahh, kathy has had a full day too.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 9:56:53 PM)
Marge...I can't remember the name of that one. They did addt'l testing on him, because he was holding up so well. He has some type of damage in his left ear...and Dr. Hall had never seen results like his before.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:57:14 PM)
deb: wow, that is saying something!
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 9:57:42 PM)
Marge..I am SOOOOOO mad that I don't have my info in front of me!!!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:58:08 PM)
(pats deb on the back of the hand... gives her some chocolate cookies) there, there :-)
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 9:58:30 PM)
Marge, Nancy Stecker did the otoacoustical test if that's what you're talking about - Kathy - sounds like we were doing the same thing today - gotta love chocolate cookies Marge.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 9:58:31 PM)
Dr. hall said he is amazed that Travis is doing as well as he is in school.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 9:59:05 PM)
Marge...Can I have peanut butter cookies instead?! *L*
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:59:33 PM)
kathyc: nope,t hat's not the test i mean... otoacoustic emissions isnot evoked potential test.... but OAE yields some valuable info.

Deb, what did Dr. H recommend next?
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:59:47 PM)
deb: sure! how many pnut butter cookies do you want? :-)
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 9:59:49 PM)
hi there! i'm back
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 9:59:51 PM)
How are you feeling Debbie?
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 9:59:53 PM)
hi debbie!
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:00:10 PM)
a bit sore....the surgeon went ahead and removed the cyst this morning
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:00:16 PM)
hey Marge
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:00:17 PM)
Marge...a dozen should do! =)
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:00:26 PM)
Marge - not sure about evoked potential test?
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:00:29 PM)
deb: lucky for you, i have some fresh out of the oven
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:00:42 PM)
kathyc: it would have looked like an EEG, with electrodes on the head
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:00:47 PM)
Marge...you're my kinda woman!!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:01:26 PM)
deb, awww, thanks *blush*I
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:01:26 PM)
Debbie...I hope you're not going to work tomorrow...day off, I hope?
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:01:59 PM)
Marge...I'm sooo glad you're hear tonight! Haven't 'seen' you in a while!
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:02:15 PM)
day off tomorrow Deb =) go back on Thursday
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:02:25 PM)
deb: thanks! been super busy with kids in school. this is our first year in middle school.
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:02:30 PM)
Oh I gotcha! We had one of those done at Children's earlier in the year - which came back normal. He could hear the sounds. Nancy actually was considering "auditory neuropathy" except that the ABR was normal - she was going to check for differences in the ears though.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:03:14 PM)
Debbie...GOOD!! Then, RELAX tomorrow!!! Ooops...there goes that Mom-itis again! *L*
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:03:19 PM)
kathyc: ah, good, they checked for that then. that is the main thing: that they are not overlooking something like auditory neuropathy, IMHO
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:03:26 PM)
Marge...how is the middle school thing going?
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:03:43 PM)
*LOL* yes mommy Deb!!
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:04:07 PM)
Debbie....at least you're laughing!
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:04:12 PM)
actually i think i'm going to try and put up the christmas tree =)
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:04:25 PM)
deb: teachers are fine, workload has finally settled out... for a while there it was an hour or more of homework every night, and she doesn't get home til 4:45 pm. hearing issues are fine; not much problem there.
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 10:04:40 PM)
are you crazy take the day off
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:04:43 PM)
Debbie...HUH?!?! When...
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:05:12 PM)
Marge - how do you know all this stuff? They suggested blocking his right ear during intense schoolwork - but making sure not all the time. And then intensive training of the right ear will be required - he's too young just to block it off all the time.
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:05:45 PM)
i'll be careful....promise..but if i dont do things...no one else will ....i want to be able to decorate the tree with the girls tomorrow night
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:05:46 PM)
Marge....Travis does at least an hour each night....but, he doesn't get home at 4:45...that makes a huge difference. I'm glad to hear that things are getting settled.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:05:46 PM)
kathyC: i've had a bunch of the tests run on myself & my kids. lots of auditory issues over here.
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 10:05:59 PM)
we went to a christmas tree farm on the way home from Gainesville-boy does Fla grow some shabby looking Christmas tree.. Makes Charluie Brown look good
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:06:23 PM)
*LOL* Kathy!! i have an artificial one we use
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:06:24 PM)
kathy: cmon up here to Atlanta. you can get a decent tree here :-)
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:06:53 PM)
Kathy....wait a second! I've seen some nice ones!! Oh, wait, I think they were artificial! *L*
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 10:07:19 PM)
I just have to go down the street to the gas station or Franks and buy one so much for trying to teach the kid where the trees come from....
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:07:38 PM)
Kathy - we have gone to the Big Bear parking lot for years!
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:07:52 PM)
I'm a 'real' Christmas tree kinda gal...I've seen a few tree farms, have to check them out yet.
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:08:05 PM)
last year for xmas we went to ny to my inlaws farm and the kids got to go out in the woods and pick their own tree..it was so neat!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:08:13 PM)
nothing beats the smell of a real tree, IMHO
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 10:08:19 PM)
donmt bother...go to the mall parking ot and get one fresh off the truck...
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:08:58 PM)
Debbie..we have always done that...every year, trek through the snow, pick out the tree...but, we all loved it!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:09:03 PM)
peggy: you there??
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:09:06 PM)
Seems no matter how hard I try to water it - it's always dead before Christmas...is it just me?
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 10:09:26 PM)
best tree at the tree farm was one from michigan sitting in a pot of water....
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:09:27 PM)
I think Peggy is joining us while at work so she's in and out
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:09:37 PM)
KathyC....do you put sugar in it when you first put it up? Or an asprin?
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:09:46 PM)
kathyC: hmmm, you don't let the water go below the end of the stump? Do you trim the stump back a few inches when you bring it home?
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:09:56 PM)
debbie: thanks
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:09:56 PM)
Kathy C...were are you from?
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:10:17 PM)
cut the stump at a bit of an angle?
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:10:33 PM)
Yep....to the angle thing!
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:10:39 PM)
Hi , Sorry, a little busy,
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:10:41 PM)
Never heard of that Deb! Marge - yeah we trim the stump but I think we get too big of a tree leaving not enough room for water - We live in Powell Ohio (just north of Columbus) - oh the angle thing!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:10:43 PM)
kathy, kathyc: how was the staff at the places you had testing done? Gainesville? Buffalo? How were you and your child treated?
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 10:10:55 PM)
stick that puppy out in the driveway and hose it off gets it nice and fresh
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:11:05 PM)
you guys crack me up - this is fun
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:11:26 PM)
kathyc: now you see the allure of chat :-)
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:11:29 PM)
This is usually a really good group of ladies and some great gents now and then too!
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:11:47 PM)
If i get slow typing tonight, you all have to forgive me......
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:11:52 PM)
debbie: and everyone plays nice... can't say that about all chats
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:11:57 PM)
peggy: no problem :-)
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:12:28 PM)
Marge, I'll always see to it that everyone plays nice in here..*grin*..if not they dont play
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:12:30 PM)
Marge....we were just at Shands (Gainesville) 2 weeks ago...the staff we dealt with was great, and Dr. Hall spent at least 30 min. with us after testing explaining things to us...although I can't recall a single thing for you tonight!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:12:30 PM)
debbie: how is membership in NCAPD going? how many signed up?
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 10:12:43 PM)
Marge we had a wonderful experience. Had a Dr. of Audiology , a grad student and an undergrad student help with the test. Even to office was run byu students...all was good.
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:13:21 PM)
right now we have about 10 members.....anxiously awaiting more so that we can begin work on some projects we are thinking about...
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:13:28 PM)
We were treated very well at Buffalo (they were fascinated at how we chose them as we are from Ohio - Nancy Stecker was very professional and fascinated with Drew. Gay Masters was also very nice - she did refer to Jack Katz several times as he has worked with kids with cochlear implants. We were very happy - first new information and recommendations we've had in a very long time....oh yeah Drew had a total of 6 female students working with him for the 2 hrs of speech eval - he's a real flirt.
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:14:12 PM)
Debbie, I will see about joining this week.. :)
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:14:21 PM)
kathyC: Does Drew have a cochlear implant?!
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:14:44 PM)
Peggy and Kathy got my 30 second NCAPD membership commercial earlier *LOL*
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:15:33 PM)
No - but she was mentioning his work with those kids and also apraxic children who are mentally retarded - he convinced her (Gay masters) that phonology is helpful to those kids (even though cochlear implant kids have never heard sounds...making sense? I'm getting confused - too much input today.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:16:18 PM)
kathyC: oh, i see... i get the drift, even without the specifics
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:16:39 PM)
understand completely about too much input... try being the patient AND the person who has to remember everything!
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:16:41 PM)
The Internet still amazes me - how much I've learned in 3 months on the sites. Imagine before this - how isolated we would all be feeling now.
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:16:53 PM)
Oh man Marge.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:17:19 PM)
kathyc: oh, hey, it was my search for answers about my auditory situation that got me interested in the Internet in the first place. If not for that, I probably wouldn't've bothered.
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:17:41 PM)
KathyC....that is exactly how this site started...I spent 1 1/2 years feeling isolated and alone.....this site started as a way for me to keep tract of information I found
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:18:00 PM)
We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lucky - and yes I need to join also!

hi sallie
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:19:03 PM)
Has anyone heard of "listening therapies"?
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:19:05 PM)
Hey Sallie!!!!
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:19:05 PM)
hi sallie
Sallie (ID=17) (Nov 28, 2000 10:19:17 PM)
Hi all!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:19:25 PM)
kathyc: as a general term, or does it refer to a specific set of techniques?
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:19:29 PM)
What do you all think of tshirts with the NCAPD logo on them?
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:19:44 PM)
I'll buy some!!
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:19:56 PM)
Tomatis, Samonas, The Listening Program, EASe are some examples - also Interactive Metronome as listening therapies
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:20:01 PM)
debbie: great!! be sure to stencil "can't hear you, come around front" on the back of them :-)
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:20:48 PM)
That's a great idea Marge! I like that!
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:21:06 PM)
Marge - I love that - Drew lipreads (self-learned coping technique)
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:21:24 PM)
this is why I like throwing ideas out in here...=)
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:21:32 PM)
Sallie...how have you been doing?
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:21:40 PM)
kathyC: i would get very, very specific info from the provider about outcomes with those techniques... seems like everyone has a $2000 therapy program to sell you... look into the techniques covered by your insurance first... don't look for miracle cures
Sallie (ID=17) (Nov 28, 2000 10:22:23 PM)
Fine, thanks. We just started Will (almost 10) on ritalin last week and the focus help has been huge. It was a hard decision and it's a trial time, but he is so excited and we are so thankful!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:22:52 PM)
sallie: so will can really tell the difference with the ritalin?
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:22:56 PM)
I am finding that out........Tomatis was $4400 for 60 hrs ($67/hr sounds better doesn't it). SUNY Buffalo didn't have much input about them - I didn't gather they favored them. I was just curious. Thanks!
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:23:22 PM)
Sallie...my son takes it too, for focus..
Sallie (ID=17) (Nov 28, 2000 10:24:11 PM)
It's profound! Within the first hour of the first dose he said "Mom, there just isn't as much noise inside my head as there usually is. After two days of school on it last week I asked him what was different, and he said "I felt smart." I asked him if he had ever felt smart before, and he said "no".
Sallie (ID=17) (Nov 28, 2000 10:24:53 PM)
Deb, do you take your son off of it on weekends, holidays? I have heard mixed reports about that.
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:24:56 PM)
Sallie I think I would have had tears in my eyes at that point!!!
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:24:57 PM)
sallie: really interesting comment there, about "not as much noise in my head"... wonder what he experiences without the ritalin?
Sallie (ID=17) (Nov 28, 2000 10:25:30 PM)
Marge, a friend who teaches special ed said that CAPD is like being on a bad cell phone connection all of the time and not knowing it.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:25:33 PM)
Sallie...it really can help some kids. Yes, I do take him off on weekends and holidays.
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:25:42 PM)
Does anyone know why CAPD and ADD/HD are soooo close?
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:07 PM)
Do they co-exist?
KathyC (ID=14) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:10 PM)
Well, I need to go sort laundry and get ready for the days ahead. Thanks for the chat!! and best of luck to all this week
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:13 PM)
sallie: i tend to agree... that's pretty much been my experience
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:17 PM)
bye kathyc
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:31 PM)
peggy: yeah, capd and adhd can coexist
Sallie (ID=17) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:43 PM)
Peggy, when I read about the symptoms, they are so similar. I think that is part of what makes diagnosis so hard.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:52 PM)
Sallie...he doesn't have the pressures at home, like he does in school..so, I have always done that, will no ill effects.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:52 PM)
peggy: there's some behavioral overlap between hearing loss, capd & adhd
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:26:53 PM)
How do you tell the difference and if they are both there or just one?
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:27:13 PM)
pggy: did you know that about 80% of the kids diagnosed with adhd have a significant history of ear infections?
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:27:28 PM)
oops...with, no ill effects..sorry.
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:27:28 PM)
Marge, no.. interesting...
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:27:50 PM)
Marge, what are the differences???
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:28:01 PM)
that is why it is so critically important to rule out hearing/auditory problems before you go to the adhd diagnosis. deaf children can come across very hyper too.
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:28:05 PM)
Who can tell?
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:28:21 PM)
Doctor wise?
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:28:30 PM)
Peggy an audiolgist can tell the difference.only an aud can test for capd
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:28:32 PM)
peggy: you need an audiologist to do the hearing tests
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:29:12 PM)
My son did see an audiologist. He did test positive for APD. He is starting FM trainer at school this week.
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:29:46 PM)
Audiologist wants full speech and language eval done. I have appointment on Jan. 2nd.
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:30:08 PM)
Then they want a re-eval of CAPD in a year to see how it is.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:30:10 PM)
Dr. Hall recomended FM system for Travis as well.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:30:18 PM)
here are some othe rthings to consider before concluding there's a problem with adhd or capd. i say this as a general statement. i don't have specific papers to back up every point. here goes: lack of sleep, anxiety, thyroid disorders, disorganized home life
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:30:37 PM)
i use an FM system any time I'm in a large-group listening situation
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:30:39 PM)
Thyfoid disorders???
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:31:02 PM)
Thyroid (i mean)
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:31:28 PM)
peggy: yep. we have a friend whose child was misdiagnosed as adhd when really he had high thyroid and capd
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:31:39 PM)
Deb, Does Travis use the FM?
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:32:00 PM)
What does Thyroid do? Symptoms?
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:32:03 PM)
the problems showed up behaviorally first. took a few years before their pediatrician tested his thyroid
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:32:16 PM)
thyroid is a fundamental regulator of metabolism
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:32:41 PM)
classic high thyroid symptoms are nervousness, sweating, popped-out looking eyes
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:32:44 PM)
Ladies, I apologize, but I think I'm going to excuse myself and head for bed a bit early tonight
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:33:04 PM)
classic low thyroid symptoms are sluggishness, weight gain, thickened skin
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:33:08 PM)
gnite debbie
Kathy (ID=10) (Nov 28, 2000 10:33:09 PM)
Good night get some rest...
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:33:11 PM)
Good Night Debbie. Hope you are feeling better! =)
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:33:14 PM)
Peggy...for the past few months, he has been using a headset that we bought at Radio Shack, but, Dr. Hall wants the 'real deal' system in the classroom...

Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:33:55 PM)
peggy: that's great! some parents have to fight like dogs to get the fm from the school
debbie (ID=16) (Nov 28, 2000 10:34:10 PM)
yes mommy Deb!! *LOL* nightie night
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:34:21 PM)
gnite debbie... rest well
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:34:24 PM)
Peggy...I'm hoping that I won't have a problem getting it for him...we have re have an IEP meeting...
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:34:31 PM)
I sent them the Audiologist report with recommendations .
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:34:37 PM)
Debbie...sweet dreams!! XXOO
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:35:03 PM)
Deb, can you get a report with FM on recommendations???
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:35:22 PM)
We just had test done on Oct 30th and he started using FM today.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:35:35 PM)
peggy: what'd he say about the fm?
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:36:21 PM)
Peggy...Dr. Hall put it in his recommendations for him...do I just need to show that to them then?
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:36:25 PM)
The Audiologist had a few recommendations at the end of report. One was use of FM trainer in school. The school accepted the report and so far so good.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:37:43 PM)
deb: i believe that the theoretical answer to that is "yes": the recommendations of dr. hall should be sufficient... but some districts will try to dispute it anyway... there are far more experienced IEP trench fighters on the CAPD list than myself... you really need to read a book to get yourself up to speed on it.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:38:13 PM)
Peggy...damn...and the person from the district was just at school Monday, and our principal showed it to her...maybe we won't have an IEP mtg. then...Tammy was going to let me know by Wed. or Thurs.
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:38:27 PM)
i read the book "Negotiating the Special Education Maze"... it was pretty good.
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:38:47 PM)
Deb, I hope they would accept your Audiologist. Good Luck! I hope they work with you.
Deb (ID=13) (Nov 28, 2000 10:39:06 PM)
Marge...maybe I'll get it...
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:39:17 PM)
It isn't always easy and I have had to fight in the past with school for testing...
Marge (ID=15) (Nov 28, 2000 10:40:09 PM)

Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:44:41 PM)
Learning Disabilities can be sooo confusing and frustrating. This place really helps.
Sallie (ID=18) (Nov 28, 2000 10:45:05 PM)
My husband is a pastor and we're often counseling on Tuesday nights, so I don't get on as much as I would like
Sallie (ID=18) (Nov 28, 2000 10:45:20 PM)
But you're right on about the confusion and frustration
Peggy (ID=9) (Nov 28, 2000 10:45:49 PM)
How is your son doing? Does he use an FM trainer?
Sallie (ID=18) (Nov 28, 2000 10:46:21 PM)
What part of the country are you in? We are in Colorado and have been fourtunate to have a school that is really helping. He just began ritalin and it's incredible. No, he doesn't use a trainer
