The validity and reliability of the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), a commonly used assessment to evaluate cognitive and emotional abilities as a result of organic brain disease, has been published in over 50 languages. These include Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Nigerian. However, one under-represented population, the culturally deaf, has been neglected for such an assessment. Because the MMSE has never been translated into American Sign Language, or ASL, there is a lack of validity and reliability

Interviews Parent 1: Marisol Marisol’s son Jason had been recommended for services for almost seven months by school teacher and supporting staff. Throughout his year in Pre- K, his teacher documented several incidents which lead her to believe he needed to be evaluated for special education. He was not reaching academic milestones for his age.

Sound and Fury is truly an incredible, emotional one of a kind documentary. The characters are empowering and so raw and it makes watching this film one like I have never seen. It goes around the idea of a new medical procedure called the Cochlear implant, which is intended to cure deafness. It’s a procedure that effects everyone from deaf people to friends to the loved ones in their families. It’s important to note that the expression “cure deafness” is loosely used as it could be reflected as invasive

I would give my child cochlear implants at a young age. Some people don’t know what cochlear implants are. Well cochlear implants are a device that are used to help a child hear if they are deaf or hard of hearing. They are implanted inside the child's head and have a piece outside the head as well. Having them implant wont just help the child hear, but will provide lots of opportunities for he child in the future. Some people say that you don’t really know if you want to implant your child until

Over the summer semester in ASL 101 I wrote about my deaf experience that I had on the class level between sign and dines, signing with Jeff and in class. This semester my deaf experience grew with the class, outside encounters, and the hearing culture. As my confidence grew the more I expressed myself with sign in order to practice, whether or not I was surrounded by people who would understand me. I have many theories on why people respond to deaf culture and ASL in the way that they do but the

I am a passionate undergraduate student who is pursuing a clinical doctorate degree in Audiology, as well as a Ph.D in my areas of interest (psychoacoustics, speech development with cochlear implants). I want to impact the Deaf OSU community and the hearing OSU community throughout and past my time at Ohio State. Throughout my collegiate career, I have conducted research with the Psychoacoustic lab, the Western Reserve Reading project with Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Sound Mapping project

Cochlear implants are commonly used in modern science to treat patients with deafness in one or both ears. The structure of cochlear implants are as follows, an outer component, a transmitter, a receiver-stimulator package and the microelectrode array(Sigfrid D. Soli, 2011). The outer component of a cochlear implant records sound waves, while the transmitter brings the recorded sounds to the receiver-stimulator. The receiver-stimulator then converts the recorded sound waves to electrical impulses

technology known as the cochlear implant is a life changer that helps the deaf to live a normal life. Anyone of any age who has highly impaired hearing loss or suffers from being deaf could have a cochlear implant. Damage to the inner ear, Aging, prolonged exposure to loud noise and diseases such as rubella (German measles) or mumps may cause wear and tear on the hairs or nerve cells in the cochlea that send sound signals to the brain.
