Welcome! Yes, we have quite a few members with WS. Its pretty common overall in the Deaf community. It's great that you're being really proactive, even thou she "only" has unilateral loss. Kids with unilateral loss tend to be really "maxstreamed" (ie mainstreamed to the max with even less exposure to the Deaf community, then someone who's hoh would get)
One thing to be on the lookout for, is the possibilty of additional hearing loss.
Be very viligant about your daughter being followed. It's possible that she may have a "hoh loss" in her other ear. There are some losses where an ABR can be inaccuate, but the loss can be picked up on more tradtional auditremy.
Not sure how common unilateral vs bilateral loss is, in WS. Maybe someone else knows.
