No worries about screaming kids.
Smoke alarm batteries needs changing- oh well!

Ok. So being Deaf has its pros and cons.
On one hand, it's easy to block out annoying things people say, angry people, etc. But on the other hand, being lost in a group, unable to hear in hearing meetings, and misunderstood by hearing population EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. has... well... it's downside. From time to time I will come here and talk about the struggles and joys of being a Deaf family. One- because some of you are Deaf/HH and you KNOW what I'm talking about. And two- some of you are hearing and have no clue what I'm talking about but need to be aware. Deaf life is a joy, a curse, and an adventure. I hope you join us in ours!
I have a friend who is deaf and she wants to homeschool her children. I am learning sign, but I'm not good enough to help her understand the process and I have no one to help her. I pray that God will make a way for her. If you can send me some info for her I would appreciate it. We live in Langhorne, Pa. Thank you and and blessings to you too

Greetings Michelle! If you're friend is on Facebook at all have her friend me- Erin More O'Donnell. There is a Deaf Moms Homeschool Facebook group as well that is a fabulous starting point. If she does not Facebook tell her to email me at deafinitestyle@gmail.com (it's my business email but I'll get it within a day). I'd be thrilled to walk her through the process :)
DeleteI was looking for the scholarly source regarding the tiredness in Deaf children. I came across this blog. I'm Deaf, and homeschooling my youngest daughter. I deactivated my Facebook account temporarily to concentrate on finishing my Master's degree. I might activate my Facebook account again after this semester is over. I would like to check out Deaf Moms Homeschool Facebook group if it is still in effect. Thanks!
