Hadley's early years in auditory-verbal therapy have been integral to her ability to flourish in mainstream classrooms, participate in foreign language classes, enjoy music and feel just as important as her hearing peers.KerryDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457949201209223633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945784231652681073.post-41158495349194427552011-01-23T08:49:42.049-05:002011-01-23T08:49:42.049-05:00I was sent to public school ( even preschool) and...I was sent to public school ( even preschool) and I never have AVT nor went to oral school. They made me "listen" to my teacher and students everyday in all waking hours with my FM ( profound deaf) . I'm not very fond of that method as I kept falling behind. Its very important that your child is capable of hearing ( beyond speech level) very well otherwise I will suggest to make sure you child have accessible language (ASL) before kindergarten. It really does make make a child delay if your child can't hear as well . And your child will feel she is not bright as other students ( she'll think she can't hear,speak, read, write, learn, act, or just do anything right )I've been there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945784231652681073.post-57145411437672393662011-01-22T16:42:09.947-05:002011-01-22T16:42:09.947-05:00Well said!!
