Do you talk about programs like Fastforword and whether to send kids to private school or not?
debbie (ID=7) (Mar 20, 2001 8:31:18 PM)
we talk about whatever issues parents would like to address......it's an open forum
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:31:27 PM)
We talk about whatever is brought up wonga...if you have anything in specific, ask away....
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:31:48 PM)
Has anyone had their child on the Fastforword program?
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:31:50 PM)
Hey Deb, I missed out last week, How did it go about the issue of
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:31:58 PM)

Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:32:18 PM)

deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:34:03 PM)
Peggy....we talked about that, and lots of other things as well....everyone kind of put in what happens at their homes with homework, etc....as always, it was hard to find the 'right' thing to do...but, it was great sharing ideas and thoughts.

debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:35:18 PM)
Peggy..the archives are actually up to date!!
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:35:35 PM)
I gather everyone has problems with homework that take too long?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:35:42 PM)
I can't remember exactly all that was said Peggy...I was not in a great frame of mind last week....
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:35:54 PM)
there are some nights we can do homework for anywhere from 2 to 4 hours
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:36:37 PM)
How old are your kids? My son Christopher, is 8.
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:36:44 PM)
ours usually lasts about 1 1/2 hours....should only take 30-40 minutes tops. Well, at least for my other son anyway. =(
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:37:21 PM)
mine are 8, with APD and a 6 year old, no APD
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:37:35 PM)
my daughter is 9...soon to be 10
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:38:06 PM)
I have an 8 yr old son w/APD & Language (expressive/receptive) delays... fine motor delay too.
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:38:07 PM)
Do they play alone at school a lot?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:38:29 PM)
Oh, question Debbie about Sarah....does she like to write, like in a journal, or diary? Do you think it would motivate her to do it, if she doesn't really 'like' to do it now?
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:38:36 PM)
He plays soccer with the other kids.
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:39:18 PM)
wonga..i have two daughters..they go to recess about the same time..my youngest one is 2 years younger than sarah....they tend to play together alot..they are very close friends
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:39:22 PM)
Christopher has been disagnosed with CAPD I will have to check what APD is after finishing our chat.
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:39:39 PM)
wonga....mine did from the time he was 3 in nursery school, up until last year, when he was in 1st grade. Now, he plays with other kids at recess, and climbs the monkey bars, etc.
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:39:43 PM)
APD is CAPD whitout C.
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:39:52 PM)
It is the same thing! :).
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:40:46 PM)
Ok thanks...my two kids Christopher (8) and Laurie (11) are here with me looking as I type and quite interested...they say Hi!!!
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:40:55 PM)
Deb..she loves diaries, but dont write everyday.....
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:40:56 PM)
The powers that be dropped the "C" and it is officially APD - Auditory Processing Disorder.
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:41:12 PM)
Hi Christopher and Laurie!!!
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:41:14 PM)
hi Christopher! hi Laurie!!
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:41:36 PM)
oh no Deb! we do think alike! *LOL*
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:41:36 PM)
Hi Chris and Laurie
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:41:44 PM)
Big chuckles from Chis and Laurie
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:41:56 PM)
This is way cool for them
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:42:07 PM)
you know...we really do have to get the kids chat going again! What would be a good tiem for you all?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:43:14 PM)
Debbie....Corey just brought home a book order today, and I saw this really cute journal. It's called furry flower journal, and it comes with a really cool pen to match! It's pink and furry/fuzzy looking....she wouldn't have to write every day...for her b'day you think? Or, should I just go with a book?
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:43:37 PM)
I think dolfrog tries to have a place for kids. wonga, have you checked out dolfrog.com?
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:43:38 PM)
would an afternoon be better or perhaps sometime on the weekend?
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:44:00 PM)
ldonline.org also has a kids area.
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:44:10 PM)
No, have not checked out Dolfrog.com, but will.
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:44:14 PM)
Im not sure how manykids he's had participating....we've talked back and forth about a kids forum...
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:44:19 PM)
Yes...weekends....Sat. AM isn't good for us....Travis has his therapuetic horseback riding at 11 AM.
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:44:42 PM)
Weekend is good for us also.
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:44:46 PM)
there is another great website at www.apdfacts.com Alan Gertner is really doing a great job with his site....
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:45:02 PM)
wonga..may i ask what part of the country you are from?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:45:14 PM)
www.capdtest.com is another good one.
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:45:30 PM)
Are all your kids still in public school or private?
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:46:01 PM)
peggy were you on the list about a year ago when parents tried to set up email buddies for the kdis?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:46:01 PM)
Charter school
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:46:01 PM)
my daughter is in public school
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:46:59 PM)
Debbie, did they have to make special arrangements for your daughter?
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:47:41 PM)
wonga , i've been through a 3 year battle with the school over accommodations...we are currently on a 504 plan but we are reevaluating for additional services
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:48:11 PM)
That sounds like it would be a great idea...if the kids chat didn't work out because of timing it....I think the email buddy list is a GREAT idea!!
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:48:56 PM)
I"Mjust curious how it turned out..I"ve not heard anything about the email buddy list for a long time...
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:49:16 PM)
Chris has just had special arrangements starting. We will determine his progress and decide if private school is an option.
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:49:29 PM)
Deb, I wasn't here a year ago, started here last fall. Sorry.
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:49:41 PM)

deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:50:36 PM)
wonga...my sone has had an IEP since he was 3...he gets speech/lang. therapy 2 x a wk, OT 1x for 60 min. each week, and he just started Monday in a smaller lang. arts class with only 4 other students. Plus, he has other things written into his IEP as well, plus classroom modifications.
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:51:28 PM)
Is IEP a general education term. I am from Ontario,
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:51:49 PM)
it stands for individualized educational plan
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:51:51 PM)
an IEP is an Individualized Educational Plan
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:52:05 PM)
it's our form of exceptional student education.
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:52:06 PM)
Great minds again Debbie! *l*
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:52:13 PM)

wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:52:57 PM)
We use the same IEP terminology.
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:53:30 PM)
Hey, just thought I'd let you know my son, since he has switch schools, is doing GREAT! He is now only in Learning support for Reading / Language Arts. They placed him in regular class for math because he was doing so well. It has really made a difference to get the right teacher/class setting! :)
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:53:43 PM)
wonga,,,was it hard for you to find someone in Ontario to test for CAPD?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:54:52 PM)
POeggy...Travis just started the support class yesterday for lang. arts and reading...he loves it so far!! Yippie!!!
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:54:52 PM)
Peggy..that is fantastic to hear!!! I'm so happy for you both!
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:54:53 PM)
We only went because we hired a tutor for Chris...she recommended the testing.
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:54:53 PM)
It looks like the right teacher or learing support person can really make a difference :)
debbie (ID=11) (Mar 20, 2001 8:54:53 PM)
looks like chat gremlins got me again...be right back

We are, are you here again Debbie?
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:55:43 PM)
It was not hard to find the audiologist...but the payment was from out of our pockets and the web sites have Canadian testers listed.
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:55:55 PM)
He now has spelling test and has gotten 100% for the last 4 weeks! :)
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 8:56:05 PM)
wonga..which websites?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 8:56:38 PM)
That is absolutely awesome Peggy!
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:56:42 PM)
I will get them later...I have the listings printed out upstairs.
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 8:57:05 PM)
if you get a chance will you send me the websites at capdfromtheheart@aol.com
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:57:10 PM)
spelling has always been Travis' best subject...he has gotton an A each marking period this year....You must be soooooo excited Peggy! Congrats!!!
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:57:19 PM)
Ok
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 8:57:50 PM)
Peggy...that must put a HUGE smile on his face I bet!
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:57:51 PM)
Is the Fastforword program beneficial?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 8:58:48 PM)
at the time that we did FFW, we also started using an FM trainer...between the two of them together..we saw progress...
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 8:59:18 PM)
What is FM trainer?
Peggy (ID=8) (Mar 20, 2001 8:59:28 PM)
Deb, yes it does. Thanks! We are going to do FFW this summer.
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:00:00 PM)
Debbie.....Travis' teacher isn't noticing any changes with the FM....=(
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:00:31 PM)
I'm going to see if I can borrow schools Earobics program over the summer.
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:00:33 PM)
the FM trainer is an assistive listening device.....it's like a headset that sarah wears in class.....the teacher wears a microphone and her voice is transmitted directly to sarah's headset..it helps drown out the competing background noise..
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:00:47 PM)
deb...how long has he been using the FM?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:01:18 PM)
Debbie.....it's been about 3 weeks now....we only have it for 8 weeks.
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:01:58 PM)
does travis notice a difference?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:02:28 PM)
He says he does...but Karin isn't seeing anything significant since using it.
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:02:43 PM)
what difference is he noticing?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:03:55 PM)
But, I'm hoping that by going to the class from 8:30-10 each AM, when he gets back in her class, he's all ready to go! You know what I mean? He has had 2 good days so far this week...but, he has also had subs both days too. He says he can hear her better and louder.
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:04:46 PM)
deb...give it time....you've got a bit of time to work with...
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 9:04:52 PM)
Even after completing Fastforword and with FM trainer, do kids still experience problems? This is something Chris will have for a while...permanently?

this is my first time in here
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 09:05:31 PM)
Hi Rosa...I am new also
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:05:41 PM)
my son is 7 yrs old
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:05:44 PM)
That's what I'm hoping....because Margaret didn't write it into his IEP last week...wanted to see how it played out over the 8 weeks. But, I think if HE says it works, then they should use it. What do you think?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:05:52 PM)
wonga....it depends on the factors that are contributing to your childs' auditory processing problems....some kids may outgrow it..but not all kids will...
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:05:57 PM)
Hi rosa....
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:06:02 PM)
hi rosa..happy you could join us tonight!!
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:06:05 PM)
hi deb
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:06:16 PM)
thank you debbie my son was just diagnosed wiht this problem
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:06:20 PM)
he is in first grade
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:06:30 PM)
deb..if he notices a difference then i would fight to keep it.
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:07:18 PM)
Debbie....I'm going to. But, this IEP meeting was for his IEP for NEXT year, so we wouldn't have to have another one this year!
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 9:07:38 PM)
Rosa, I guess your son takes a while to get started and completing homework, reading etc?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:07:45 PM)
yes wonga
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:07:49 PM)
when i say some kids may outgrow apd...what i am referring to is if the apd is due to lack of maturation of the auditory system....thenas the auditory systme matures.the child's processing may get better...
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:07:51 PM)
he scored advaned in math
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:08:10 PM)
but has this problem with the reading
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:08:24 PM)
im still unsure as to what is causing this or understanding this
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:08:59 PM)
they said his score in "suditory processing isn indeicative of a significant processing deficit in that area?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:09:14 PM)
ooops auditory
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:09:17 PM)
lol
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:10:00 PM)
rosa...it is all so very complex, and affects these children in so many different ways. It's been almost 5 years for me, and I STILL am trying to understand it all! It seems that my puzzle keeps getting bigger, and I am missing sooooo many puzzle pieces.
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:10:32 PM)
is this an emotional or physical problem
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:11:13 PM)
it's not an emotional problem.....however it can affect a child emotionally if that makes sense...
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:11:13 PM)
it's a neurological problem...but, can definately bring in some emotional issues.
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:11:32 PM)
oic so how do we as parents help him
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:11:45 PM)
has anyone had their kids on meds
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:11:46 PM)
an auditory processing problem is when there is a breakdown between when the ear recieves the auditory stimuli to when the brain processes it...
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:12:04 PM)
or is it just learning to cope
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:12:14 PM)
or different ways of learning?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:12:27 PM)
as of this point in time there is no research that i know of that will indicate medication will be helpful if a child truly has apd...
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:12:33 PM)
READ!!!! Here are some web sites to check out.....www.apdfacts.com www.capdtest.com
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:12:42 PM)
wow thanks deb
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:12:57 PM)
i will , just got the results today
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:13:13 PM)
the way to overcome an auditory processing disorder is to pinpoint the underlying factors that contribule to the disorder and then work on each of those factors...
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:13:39 PM)
Also......www.ncapd.org.....awesome!! Check out the simulation that Debbie and Dr. J have put together...it will give you some REAL insight as to what these kids are dealing with.
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:13:39 PM)
how do you pinpoint the underlying factors
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:13:56 PM)
ie..if your child has a problem with background discrimination,,,,then you have to have a way to teach your kids how to seperate the sounds....
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:14:38 PM)
rosa..the audiologist who dx your child should be able to help you with this...they SHOULD be able to look at the tests and determine some of the underlying factors.....
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:14:41 PM)
ie.........
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 9:14:48 PM)
Rosa, My son sometimes has difficulty 'playing nicely' with other kids so it affects social skills as well...at least I think it is due to APD...he has trouble reading and remembering long senteces and paragraphs and this frustrates him.
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:14:58 PM)
they psychologist said he needs specific training in sound blending and phonemic segmentation?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:15:19 PM)
if your child failed 2 tests and they both test for the same thing..you need to work in that areas.....
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:15:55 PM)
rosa..what recommendations did the audiologist make for you to work on those areas?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:15:57 PM)
wonga my son is very passive and has never had social problems and as of yet has not i would say "given up " on trying to learn
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:16:22 PM)
he only saw a psychologist
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:16:32 PM)
should i look for an audiologist?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:16:45 PM)
the school he is in did this on their own
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:17:14 PM)
rosa...only an audiologist can truly dx an auditory processing disorder...a psychologist may say they believe the child has a processing disorder,,but theydo not have the proper equipment to dx capd
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:18:01 PM)
ok so then maybe a suggestion is to get with an audiologist
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:18:13 PM)
they are talking about keeping him back in first grade
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:18:14 PM)
in order to test for an auditory processing disorder and to make a conclusive dx, an audiologist tests in a sound proof booth where they can control the auditory stimulus
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:18:26 PM)
rosa..that would be my recommendation....
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:18:41 PM)
why do they want to retain him? how will retention benefit your child?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:18:53 PM)
we are having a meeting next week to discuss
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:19:00 PM)

hi kathy
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:19:06 PM)
Absolutely arosa....find an audiologist who can dx APD
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:19:07 PM)

rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:19:09 PM)

daytona beach wonga lol
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:19:55 PM)
one question that you have to learn to ask is..."How will this benefit my child?"...if they can not give you a good answer..then really think about the recommendation
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:20:01 PM)
but my father in law is from toronto lol
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:20:09 PM)

and i am still unsure about the psychologists papers
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:21:21 PM)
im not quite sure on how to read these scores lol
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:21:29 PM)
rosa..if you go to the web site for the NCAPD. at www.ncapd.org there is information on the conference we are holding on August 25th in Orlando.
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:21:33 PM)
KI'd like to ask an unrelateed question. Has anyone else had a child who rutured an ear drum and had a subsequent severe ear infection?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:21:48 PM)
thanks debbie
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:21:55 PM)
deb..that's your question!
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:22:10 PM)
No KAthy....has it ruptured even more since Gainesville?
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:22:24 PM)
there is hardly anything left...
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:22:33 PM)
does anyone know about verbal and performance scores?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:22:35 PM)
Have you talked to Dr. M/
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:22:36 PM)
that's right...Kathy was the one telling us about it in Gainesville...IM so confused! *L*
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:22:47 PM)
two rounds of oral antibiotics, one of drops now injections and more oral anti..
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:22:57 PM)
*L*...it's getting late Debbie!!!
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:23:19 PM)
what is your question rosa? we can try and help.
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:23:33 PM)
Wow KAthy...poor William....how is he handling it all? And you too?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:23:54 PM)
is says there is a 21 point discrepancy between the scores? with teh verbal score being the higher
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:24:16 PM)
does that make sense
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:24:34 PM)
he is a basket case and I am taking it day by day the heavy drainage has stopped...but if this round of treatment fails we go to IV's again...my kid has started to bite his nails and is very anxious
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:25:02 PM)
then in the papers it says his reading level is below level of a child withhis demonstrated potential
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:25:07 PM)
normal standard deviation on scores is usually 15 points..that means there is more than one standard deviation between scores....may i ask what the scores were?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:25:17 PM)
okim looking debbi
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:25:51 PM)
Oh KAthy....I feel so bad for you both. =( Dr. M say anything?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:26:36 PM)
Kathy...*HUGS*.....poor little william....what is the doctor saying is going to happen?
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:26:40 PM)
havent talked to her...having his hearing only assessed here thursday...also see the developmental ped. on Friday
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:26:53 PM)
ok let me see there are a few tests on here
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:26:55 PM)
kathy..are you seing an ENT? or who?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:27:41 PM)
ok is it the verbal scale iq and performance iq
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:27:53 PM)
that doesnt add up lol
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:27:57 PM)

rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:27:58 PM)
hold on im still looking
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:28:01 PM)
eventually he may need graphs but at this time he is still actively draining so they cant do that surgery we are still seeing the reg. ped will make appt for ent for two weeks or so...I
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:28:05 PM)
what test did they do?
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:28:07 PM)
Hi Diane....
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:28:08 PM)
hi Diane
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:28:28 PM)
woodcock-johnson?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:28:36 PM)
ok
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:28:44 PM)
wisc-III
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:28:44 PM)
Hi debbie,deb everyone :)
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:29:01 PM)
ok..on the wisc III...what are scores for verbal and performance?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:29:35 PM)
verbal iq was 105 and performance scale iq 84 and full scale iq 95
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:29:40 PM)
does that sound right
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:30:24 PM)
a full scale iq of 95 is within the normal limits...
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:30:57 PM)
ok soooooo...
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:31:07 PM)
the wiscIII is scored with 100 being average...so +/- 15 points is still within one standard deviation of average....
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:31:28 PM)
ok so its not that off
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:31:30 PM)
the performance is below average..so that is where your child may quailify for help....
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:31:42 PM)
what is performance?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:32:33 PM)
i wish i had my wisc III in front of me....it should show you what subtests the performance is made up of....
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:32:58 PM)
I'm looking right now for my test results debbie....
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:33:01 PM)
how have you been Diane....
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:33:22 PM)
ok the woodstock johnson revised was short term memory 100, auditory processing 80,
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:33:29 PM)
okay busy weekend and week so far
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:34:41 PM)
with an 80 on the auditory processing..i would suggest seeing an audiologist for a full auditory processing test.......
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:34:53 PM)
why do you say that debbie
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:34:57 PM)
how are you doing debbie ?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:35:01 PM)
what are your thoughts
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:35:29 PM)
Diane,,we are finally over the chicken pox.!!!! =) Everything else is going good too!
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:35:49 PM)
yeah !!!!!!!!!!!! good to hear
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:36:02 PM)
did kendra get 'em too?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:36:13 PM)
the 80 % on the auditory processing would indicate that there is a problem....seeing an audiologist would help them pinpoint what is happening and would tell you what to do next...
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:36:29 PM)
what is average range debbie
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:36:30 PM)
yes Kathy..she just went back to school on Friday and now they are on spring break
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:37:08 PM)
average is 100 with 85 to 115 being within normal limits...
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:37:19 PM)
oic
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:37:32 PM)
Rosa..I am not an expert,,,but this is my understanding from all the testing we've been through with my daughter......
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:37:36 PM)
im in the daytona area, does anyone know of any audiologists to suggest
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:37:50 PM)
how old is your daughter debbie
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:38:01 PM)

kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:38:30 PM)

Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:39:24 PM)
we don't have spring break till the 1st week of april and boy do we all need it !!!
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:39:34 PM)
Sarah is very aware of her processing disorder...some days are a real struggle..but other days she does great....she's a real trooper....the good thing is she's starting to recognize when she's in a situation where she doesnt' understand what's being said and is realizing what to do to put herself in a better situation
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:39:54 PM)
that is awesome debbie
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:40:16 PM)

Debbie, does Sarah 'struggle' at school? Is this getting better for your family?
rosa (ID=13) (Mar 20, 2001 9:41:09 PM)
and definately check out the websites
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:41:16 PM)

debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:41:26 PM)

Diane..I know sarah is going to have to work hard for her grades all through school..so much harder than the other kids...
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:45:47 PM)
I wish his were A's and B's...3rd marking period with an A in spelling though! Went up in reading from a D to a C, and everyhting else stayed the same...he didn't go down in anything! Yeah!!!
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:45:53 PM)
I'd LOVE to cuddle a newborn :)
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:46:15 PM)
i was trying to chat with dr j this afternoon while holding the baby....hard to type...*LOL*
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:46:35 PM)
we were at the hospital when the baby was born...so absolutely precious!
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:46:44 PM)
I bet the girls were loving that!! You're not getting any ideas are you Debbie?!?! *L* I love that name too!
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:46:49 PM)
yeah deb Jake has improved alot the past 2 grading periods but it has been with much sweat and tears
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:47:04 PM)
babies are so so so .....
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:47:13 PM)
Oh yes Diane....lots of that!!
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:47:14 PM)
they smell good
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 9:47:25 PM)
Do you feel the help/progress has come mostly from your own efforts or from your respective schools or audiologists (combination)?
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:47:35 PM)
I LOVE the smell too Kathy
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:47:42 PM)
ahhhhh, yes they do kathy...I just love the smell of a baby
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:47:57 PM)
both school but mostly home
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:48:04 PM)
this happens everytime I talk about babies... i want one...
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:48:12 PM)
deb...bite your tongue!! no more kids here!
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 9:48:38 PM)
out of the ? here LOL
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:48:50 PM)
wongs....it all depends on your school and if they are willing to work with you. I would have to say, the majority of the hard work comes from us, the parents. Even when you have a school that is doing all it can, like ours.
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:48:55 PM)
you take what you get and love it anyway!!!!
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:49:05 PM)
as much as i love Hayley and her sister There are no more kids in our future.....
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:49:22 PM)
NO WAY for me either! I'll just hold them and smell them , thanks! *L*
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:49:45 PM)
Yep, you're right Kahthy.

I agree with deb 100% our school has been great but we as parents have put in a lot of effort
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:49:59 PM)
Wonga...in all honesty...the progress we have seen with sarah has been due to work at home.....with the help of the people in this chat and on the listservs...
wonga (ID=9) (Mar 20, 2001 9:50:05 PM)
Are there special excerises/tasks you do at home? Is it just getting through homework the best way every night?
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:50:52 PM)
we use to play alot of memory games with sarah since she showed short term memory trouble...and we've seen improvement..she can now tell us what she did in school....
debbie (ID=12) (Mar 20, 2001 9:51:05 PM)
we also work on rules of language....and decoding...
kathy (ID=14) (Mar 20, 2001 9:51:11 PM)
Debbie, When Sarah was four ish did you do special things at home to help her...flash cards,
deb (ID=10) (Mar 20, 2001 9:51:15 PM)

jill (ID=16) (Mar 20, 2001 10:06:29 PM)

Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 10:07:06 PM)
Oh my,..... I bet,.... I absolutely dread middle school
jill (ID=16) (Mar 20, 2001 10:07:21 PM)
We are pulling Timmy from Private school to public because of the quality of teachers
Diane (ID=15) (Mar 20, 2001 10:07:53 PM)

jill (ID=16) (Mar 20, 2001 10:08:02 PM)
