Wonder Twins asked: I have an IEP review, I want to make sure my child gets the proper services. In addition she has trouble comprehending, processing and expressing. She gets real excited if she’s tell you a story but most of what she says are made up words. She’s 7yrs old and in the second grade but way behind.

Rainbow kid asked: A couple years ago i went and got this test done that checked for nerve damage in my ears. They found nerve damage in my left ear. My mom notice something was wrong when i was a baby. But they didn’t know all of this. I have deafness. It is mild to moderate hearing loss, 40 to 50 db loss. db=decibels.
brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) test - can diagnose hearing ability and can indicate the presence of brain stem tumors and multiple sclerosis. Electrodes are placed on the scalp and earlobes. Auditory stimuli, such as clicking noises and tones, are delivered to one ear.
That is the testing i had done.
I wear a hearing aid for my left ear.
Also i am 21 years old.
I also have mild mental retardation,deafness,communication disorder,adhd,sensory issues.
