UPDATE: I contacted the Sertoma Club last spring, to no avail. The transistor radio guy persisted until July when he continued to be unsuccessful in even getting his solution to work at all. At last, some good news - our church just purchased an FM…

How frustrating! Sorry to hear about your experiences... My son began using an FM system in 2nd grade (should've had it long before, but we didn't know about IEPs, etc...long story for another time), and in 3rd grade, the teacher didn't give us much…

I'm somewhat inexperienced on this topic, but doesn't the oral pre-k have to let him attend with an interpreter under some context of the IDEA? I'm looking at preschool in the fall, 2x a week, for youngest (hh), and we utilize sign (ASL) and speech…

Hello!

I'd like to introduce myself briefly - I have four children, two of whom were born hard-of-hearing (HH)- the oldest (12) and the youngest (16 mos.). Prior to my oldest child's birth, there was no history of congenital hearing loss (or otherwise). Our next two children were born hearing, and our fourth child was also born with a hearing loss. Okay, now we know it's genetic! :-) My kids who are HH are both boys, and praise God we have new born hearing screenings in our state! They've both worn hea… Continue
