Hello I started this post about my son...and we have not had him in a DHH school for quite some time due to his behavioral prblms. We have pretty much tackled that, but he still has episodes where it will prevent him from being accepted in the Deaf School of Indianapolis..and it is about 2 hrs...

Alex is my son who was born profoundly deaf, started teaching ASL from 6 months, implanted at age 3 (HATED), asl primary language...he is 14. He has been to a deaf school when younger but due to disiplinary prblms, he was not able to continue..so we mainstreamed. He is NOW finally in the right...

I know right! My daughter is a few grades ahead of him and in her Middle school, there was 1 asl book and it was soo old, so a lot of her friends that met Alex would want to learn sign to communicate, so I direct a lot of kids that wanna learn to • ASL • American Sign Language this is a...

I have heard that a lot of deaf kids at the school frown on the CI, so would he still be taught to speak with going to a deaf school? Or would he be an outcast there???

I thank you ALL for the input so far...I do have mixed feelings on his CI, and I do know that even though Alex thinks getting that turned on will make things better with all the hearing friends he has....will it really??? It may in some ways, but this will NOT be some overnight miracle. He...
