  A good hearing memory will help your child do better in school.Your child's hearing ability is normal.Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he' s heard at school.

  Why should this be?It's because he's not using his hearing ability to help him remember and understand what he's been taught.

  Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear.They've got good hearing memories.Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see.They've got good seeing memories.Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things.Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing memories.Most children, I'd say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering.But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives(使……不能)the child of the full use of his natural senses.Mrs.Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son' s hearing."But he never seems to really understand what he hears, that's what his teachers tell me," she said.

  “My psychological examination of William shows he's weak in his hearing memory,”I said,“but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school.”

  “Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy' s hearing was all right.So, that proves you're right on that point,”admitted Mrs.Alien.“So how can we help him?My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr.Dursteln.”

  “You can do a lot to improve William’s hearing memory, but it'll take time.You must be patient and not expect results immediately.”I cautioned.I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home.I told Mrs.Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.

Lisa is ten years old. She is handicapped(残疾的)because she has brain damage. She could not do even the simplest thing until a year ago. She could not comb(梳理)her hair or feed herself. Her parents loved her. But they treated her like a baby.

Then Lisa was ready for more therapy, thanks to Mr. Ching. She had learned to do one simple thing. She could learn to do other simple things. Mr. Ching was trained to help with Lisa’s therapy.

To become foster grandparents, people must be at least sixty years old and in good health. They must be willing to give their time to handicapped children. They are volunteers (志愿者),so they are not paid. They are given money for expenses such as transportation.

Mr. Ching speaks for most foster grandparents when he says,We all benefit (受益). The handicapped children benefit because we help them live more useful live. And we benefit because we know the children need us and love us. For any person, There’s no greater happiness than that!
