Hi,


Thanks for getting back to me.  In the area I live, deaf children are actually educated in the mainstream school system.  The county here provides everything, tutors, sign linguists, pre-school, everything except medical treatment for the cause of the hearing loss.  There is one school about four hours from here, if the hearing loss is profound, but other than that the kids are in the city school system. 


I have not learned sign language yet, but the child will not be home for a year or more so I intend on starting very soon.  I have been told that signed English is easier to relay to reading and writing than ASL.  Do you know if that is accurate?


Thanks again for offering your input and advise.  I really appreciate it.


Denise
