She's in a mainstream school that has a deaf education plan, and shockingly the program has been in place for 30 years!!! No idea at all why I've never been told about it and I've asked many of times if there was something else that I could do or somewhere else I could take her to get her the help she would need. I was always told she was fine. ( That's in the mainsteam school she was in before I moved to the area of the deaf school ). The deaf school had told me they had nothing here also to help her. Seems to me there's just way too much lack of communication between school systems and school boards with providing information for kids in need of any kind of help. None of this has made any sense to me at all. But we're not going to let this die here. Something needs to be done about this, Lord only knows how many other children have been put in the same situation as me and my daughter, and this has really been unacceptable!
Thank you all again for all your help, support and advice, both for and against. It's helped me get through the times until I had this resolved.
Thank you for bringing your daughter home. She is so young and needs to stay close to her family, especially her parents. Maybe when she is older, like in high school, she will be ready for residential school. She will feel more independent then. But right now she is just a little girl who needs security and needs someone to tuck her in bed at night and read her a story, and frequent hugs from her mommy.
