OMG YES. It does seem that a lot of the parents are still really grieving about their child's disabilty. Then again, this type of thing isn't exclusive to parents of dhh kids. I see parents of wheelchair/walker users wish that their kids could walk, I see parents of blind/low vision kids avoiding things like cane travel, Braille etc. I see kids with mild issues being taught that the only thing important is to function like a non disabled person.
Yes, I understand the grief..........heck it took me YEARS, like until I was a teenager, to come to terms with the fact that I'm hoh,/otherwise different. I understand...........but doing something "differently" isn't that big of a deal.
