I w...She is adorable! I know you are a proud mama!<br /><br />I wish we had something like that here in LA. My son, who also has a form of dwarfism, is completely blind in one eye. It is genetic and was most likely from birth. We didn't find out until he was 9 years old. Just like Sally mentioned, because it was diagnosed late he was very much behind in everything. He also developed learning problems as a result. <br /><br />I finally figured it out after several weeks of four hour long homework sessions. One night it simply dawned on me that maybe he couldn't read the stuff. He heard enough in class answer some questions but if he had to read to find them then that was a problem. <br /><br />All is well now. He is 15 and doing great!Amy Baylisshttp://www.amybayliss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070376410593750454.post-84720801637497154742010-10-26T07:10:41.764-05:002010-10-26T07:10:41.764-05:00Your post totally warms my heart for several reaso...Your post totally warms my heart for several reasons! A) I love seeing the photo of your daughter with her purple earmolds and hearing aids and her hair is up. It is so common with my students that they (or their parents) leave their hair down because they don't want anyone to see the hearing aids :-( Not too long ago, I had a student tell me that she took off her hearing aids for her school pic.<br /><br />B) I love to hear stories of Early Intervention and the fact that your daughter is age appropriate for her language skills! That's exactly how it is supposed to work! Of course, I must give you tons of credit for following up on the newborn hearing screening... my friend has a student that didn't get her hearing aids until 3 1/2 because there was no follow-up on the failed hearing screening! That was three years of language learning that was missed and had to be "caught up".<br /><br />Reading your post was a wonderful way to start my day!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04781651275997050281noreply@blogger.com
