DISPLAYING Museum-Gallery- Pad-dee- n communicate where silence once reigned Frustration once filled Chad Atkinsons world a world in which he hears virtually nothing. For Julie Casperson, its a delight when she listens and can hear. Both youngsters, residents of Brigham City, have been aided immensely by a federally funded state Project Ski-Hadministered program to locate children who have hearing handicaps. The children are then fitted with hearing aides at no charge and helped to acquire language, either oral or by the use of signs. Chad is almost totally deaf. Julie has a moderate to severe hearing loss. At i, From Birth Julie has had an impairment from birth. Chad contracted spinal meningitis at the age of 10 months and it left him without hearing. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Atkinson of 1008 Lombardy. Julies Mrs. Glen Casperson parents are Mr. and ' ' . of 882 Oak. i .You wouldnt believe the improvement, in Chad since he began learning signs in total communication, said Mrs. Atkinson. Hes not as frustrated with his brother and sister. I was frustrated myself trying to communicate and not knowing how. As his parents talked about his handicap, Chad watched silently out his front room window as his neighborhood friends sat in a circle and learned signs so they could communicate with him at play. a Ski-H- i Sue Watkins, worker, the animatedly taught youngsters signs for words run, I love you, and other common words like dirt, spider, airplane and butterfly. the The children quickly acquired vocabulary. ' Rather Unique This is rather unique, she said, that neighbor children are taught to communicate through signing. Chad has been with Ski-H- i a year and a half now and hes almost caught up to his level in vocabulary in total communication, which is saying the words as they are signed. He attends school at the Ogden School for the Deaf from which he will probably graduate with a high school degree. The school provides experiences and chances to learn new things through field trips and skills training, things we take his father noted. for granted, Chads parents, too, have had a learning experience they are still undergoing.

The Caspersons once feared she was hyperactive, but found she became very active in an effort to make herself un. derstood. In eight months, Julie has come from no language until now she can communicate her needs and wants, which has encouraged her parents greatly. Discovery of a handicap like a hearing loss is a shock to you. You dont realize the extent of the handicap and feel it might be retardation because the child doesnt respond, Casperson stated. Ski-H- i teachers are now working with Julie to improve her language and her family is constantly pointing out sounds for her to identify.
