Can I just say again how thankful I am for our D/HH program? L has been going to school now twice a week wince Christmas, and she's doing wonderfully! I ask her every Tuesday and Thursday morning if she wants to go to school today; every time she responds by excitedly signing all of her teachers' names and that she's going to go play at school, and that she needs to get dressed, get in the car, and the car will go up the driveway and down the street(using the classifier for vehicles and her own sound effects!)! :) We learn more and more about other programs for Deaf children, especially those in public schools, and how much they lack, either in funds, personnel, or otherwise... People really still think that Deaf people and Deaf children won't progress as far as a Hearing person?? Or that ASL doesn't have merit as a real language?? I can't begin to tell you how inflamed that makes me... However, we have apparently lucked out, and we have a whole team of fabulous people who not only care about our children, but push them to excel everyday. Yay!!
