Questions to parents of D/HH children

[KimPossible779]

I am a student learning about the experiences of families through a child's identification. I have several questions that I am hoping can be answered in order to gain more insight on this topic.

What was your experience with your child's identification? (How old was he/she? How old was he when he began intervention? Who did you work with [teachers, audiologists, specialists, etc.]?)

How did you make decisions as a family after the identification? (i.e. where he/she would attend school, what sorts of specialists would he see, etc.?)

What was (or is) your experience like with the school system (and Individual Education Plans)? How often do you meet with his teacher and other professionals?

wow! Do any of these students ever read the thread for students wanting to do surveys and interviews before they post?

Plus it is really deaf adults here, very few members fit your target group.

Kim, have you tried actually going out there in the community? Deaf social events? Family community centers? Parent networks? Open houses at Deaf schools or programs? Face-to-face interactions out there in the D/HH community offer a completely different experience compared to online social networking forums.
