BBNT, so you're looking not to totally mainstream her? (she'd learn in a Self-Contained Classroom/open door Resource Room for the Deaf type deal?)
That's actually a really good idea. Another downside to traditional "mainstreaming"(inclusion) is that if a student is relatively high functioning and can do well in a typical classroom, they don't really have time for things like speech therapy or other special services, b/c their schdule is so crowded with things. That happened to me (I graduated pretty recently actually...in '98) and I missed speech a lot my last two years of high school.....of course I didn't mind b/c my speech therapist had no idea how to work with deaf and hard of hearing kids! (besides I HATED speech!)
I also commend you for letting Brittney be an active part of her education!
You RAWK!!!!!!!!!
