but how will she be served in a hearing setting? She needs free communication, and that will not happen unless she is in a deaf setting. I feel like you are saying deaf schools show be for "vanilla deaf" only. They should be for any child with a hearing loss. If the child is an asl user, the LRE will be with other asl users. The deaf school MUST provide accomodations for this child's special needs, just like a hearing school would for a hearing child with ds.
Well now you are just being silly.
No, they do not have to initiate a program just for this child. It is not up to the deaf school to either begin services or find appropriate placement. It is up to the home school to do so.
So, deaf schools should be for any child with a hearing loss, no matter that their cognitive needs go unmet. Yeah, there's a good plan for assisting a student in optimal functioning.:roll:
