Molly's first job




Wearing mommy's headphones
that was fun, let's do it again!

Molly completed her first job this week. Univ of Washington's Hearing and Speech Clinic was conducting research on infant hearing. We had gotten a post card when Molly was born asking if we were interested in participating in the study. I had submitted it saying we were interested in finding out more about it. They called a few weeks back asking if we were still interested. So after some discussion, we decided Molly was ready for her first job. Originally, it was to be 2 visits that last about 45 minutes and she gets paid $15/session. She did sooooo great that she was invited back for an additional 2 visits and earned a bonus. Needless to say, I opened Molly a savings account this week.
So for her job, she had a little ear piece placed on her ear. She got to sit on my lap and play with toys while listening for sounds. When she heard the sound, she was taught to look at the screen. She had a great time and the girls conducting the researched loved her. They asked if they could keep her information for future studies.
