We went to Wisconsin a couple weeks ago to participate in the Bilateral CI study. We had a fabulous time. We spent 4 days there, two days were spent testing. After each test he got to choose a sticker to put on his sticker box and after every three tests, he got to pick a small prize out of their fun prize box...he loved this!
It was interesting for me to see the different tests that were conducted and to see how Logan is really hearing. He was such a trooper and did great.
The airplane ride there...
a "study break" during the second day of testing...
auditory tests...
expressive language tests...
showing off the "sticker box" and the "prizes" he got for "good listening". ..
We found a homemade popcorn shop and stopped to get a fun treat at the end of a busy day...
Another "study break"...
posing by some of the prizes...
When all the testing was done, they let him choose from a big prize box. This was the "prize" he choose he loves it and it hasn't left his side since...
This isn't a great video, it was day two of the study and the end of the day, so needless to say, he was a bit worn out. Also, it's a little difficult to hear and the picture is dark, but it's a little bit of our time participating in the study...

There is an important bill in Congress to require captioning on the Internet, the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2009. Parents of deaf and hard of hearing children are needed to help get this bill passed, especially since their deaf and hard of hearing children will be affected! We have a Facebook group, Caption Action 2, http://www.causes.com/captionaction2, that is a grassroots effort to get this bill passed. We only have until January 2011 to get the bill through Congress.
