My daughter is very happy now all the time. She's in a mainstream school that has a deaf education plan, and shockingly the program has been in place for 30 years!!!
I know this was from awhile ago, but again it's awesome that your daughter is getting "deaf ed" even though she's "just" hoh. Far too many hoh kids are just pushed into the mainstream with the assumption that "they don't really "need" Deaf Ed stuff.
Is your daughter open about maybe returning to the Deaf School as a residental student later on? At least if she has social-emotional difficulties in jr high and high school (as a lot of dhh kids do) she'll already have some friends at the Deaf School. Don't forget....with summer coming, she could attend any summer programs or camps that the school offers.
