Oh......did you know that he is eligable for them? How old is he? He may need deaf ed when he's a little older. It's fairly common for hoh kids to do awesome in early grades and then start struggling.   I know when I was a kid, I wasn't even aware that there was such a thing as schools and programs for dhh kids.....and believe it or not, hoh kids are accepted in Deaf Ed. Especially now, that a lot of deaf kids are now more functionally hoh (with CIs)  You should check out Western PA School for the Deaf.....it is an AMAZING school.....maybe he could learn ASL or go to Deaf camps or whatever. Seriously, don't worry about whether or not he's "deaf enough" for Deaf stuff. I think you would be very surprised at what's out there. He might really enjoy going to a Deaf School or a regional dhh program (can be a really good placement for hoh kids, who may not need the intensity of a deaf school, but who also shouldn't experiance their education as a solotaire) He might not cotton to it....but who knows?
