Well at least she's in a dhh program for preschool/kindergarten right now.As for her being sign only, we have not eliminated the possibility of her developing speech. She just hasn't yet. She gets speech at school and we hope to develop her oral skills. It just hasn't happened yet.
Maybe you could talk to the teacher and suggest having a "voice off"/HA/CI off Day.
As a hoh kid, I had a next door neighbor who was Deaf. I didn't understand that she couldn't hear or speak. Maybe the kids in the program don't understand that your daughter can't speak yet.
Has she been evaluated for apraxia? It's too bad that no insurance companies are as generous with HA rehabilatation, as they are with CI rehab. If they were you could go private and see an auditory verbal therapist Well on the other hand.......maybe if she got an apraxia dx she could get private speech therapy. Unfortunatly, in terms of developing fluent oral skills, you have to go private. That in turn costs a lot and isn't always covered by insurance/affordable.
