back to wisconsin...

 we made our second trip to madison, wisconsin to participate in the bilateral cochlear implant study.  Although it was two full days of travel and two days of straight testing, we had another great time.
it was really interesting to see the improvement from last year's results compared to this year.

DAY ONE:
localization tests...
  


reward time...

his dinner of choice, McDonald's...
 

  i had promised him ice cream but could not find an ice cream shop within walking distant, so lucky for me, he settled for finding a grocery store and getting some ben & jerry's with a bottle of colored sprinkles...

DAY TWO:
more language/speech recognition tests...
 

break time...


non-verbal intelligence tests...
 
we always love our time with the kind (and patient) ladies at the WU speech center and look forward to going back next year.

WISCONSIN STUDY!!

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...
