[QUOTE="JadeSkye, post: 2184075, member: 67929"] I don't know if I can be of any help but you have peeked my curiousity in the situation. If I am understanding things correctly, you and your wife are deaf but your children are hearing, correct? You said they currently have IEP's (infant version), what would those be for? Do they have developmental delays or other disabilities, or is it simply because you and your wife are deaf and that is seen as a possible cause of language delays? What is your reason for wanting them to attend a deaf school as opposed to attending a mainstream school (I know you mentioned to help solidify their ASL, but is there more to it as well)? I am not an expert by any means (honestly, I am just learning myself) but perhaps I could help point you in some sort of direction. I myself am a hearing parent to a 3 year old who was just diagnosed with moderate to severe hearing loss (we think she lost her hearing around November/December and it was confirmed through ABR in February, but we still don't know cause or if it was something that had just progressed over time) and will be starting at our state deaf school tomorrow, so our situation is a little different but like I said, I might be able to lend a little insight. I hope you are able to find the answers you are looking for, whether here or through other research. [/QUOTE]
