  • Resumen

  • Are you tired of spending your precious time after the kids go to bed googling and scrolling Instagram for answers, like “How do I learn sign language?” Do you feel overwhelmed by all of the decisions that you have to constantly make for your child? Do you dream about a day where you can just enjoy your family without worrying about language access or IEP goals? Hey! I’m Alaine Iacobs and I’m so glad we found each other on the Raising Deaf Kids podcast! I remember what it felt like to learn that my child was Deaf for the first time. It felt like the rug got torn out from under my feet and I was falling without a net in sight. It was hard for me to accept that my child was Deaf at first. And then came the overwhelm of all of the decisions that the professionals asked me to make when my baby was just 2 months old. How did I get through those crazy early years of learning new ways of life without completely going insane? By creating solid foundations for my child of communication strategies, academic skills and routines at home along with a rock solid faith in the Lord who guided all of my steps. The podcast will feature tactical ways to build language skills for your child, a no- sweat approach to starting the IEP process, stories from other moms who have been in your shoes, and advice from trusted experts in the field to help you make decisions that are right for your child and your family. Together we are going to build a strong foundation that will support your child and help them thrive! You can be confident that you are making the right decisions for your child and also be able to show up for the rest of your family and yourself. So put down that ASL app and ling 6 toys for now, and let’s get started!

  • 86 | 3 Ways to Get Your Extended Family On- Board with Learning ASL to Communicate With Your Deaf Child

    86 | 3 Ways to Get Your Extended Family On- Board with Learning ASL to Communicate With Your Deaf Child
    Aug 1 2024

    Are you learning ASL for your child, but you’re frustrated because the rest of your family isn’t on-board with using ASL? Maybe they prefer to talk to your child, even if speech isn’t accessible to your child’s hearing?

    It can be difficult when family members, who we feel like are supposed to be there to support us through this journey, actually seem to make it more difficult for us. So today we’re going to talk about how to involve your extended family in learning ASL and make it something that they want to participate in instead of feeling forced to do so.

    85 | My Deaf Kids Never Caught Up in Speech! What I Focus on Instead for Communication
    Jul 30 2024

    Going through the evaluation process for speech therapy can be a little deflating! I remember when I was in speech therapy with my boys twice a week every week, and then practicing those speech goals everyday at home.

    I was so excited to see how they were mastering each goal and moving onto the next and I was so proud of how hard they were working!

    And then came the yearly speech evaluation that took two to three sessions to complete, and at the end of the year they were still no where near closing the gap in speech. That’s when I got a wake up call and realized that closing the gap is overrated and we were working within a system that didn’t allow for our kids to be proudly Deaf. How did I wake up to this realization, and how did I move forward with my kids? Stick around for the episode and I’ll tell you exactly what I did!
