[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 2219803, member: 13034"] That's great about FSDB! There's also a deaf school in Utah that does, or did this as well. I'm looking more into it this week. Yup, they have three strikes against them compared to a normal kid as I see it based on my research. 1. Preemies typically are developmentally delayed. Coming out of mom too early is not good for them. 2. Multiples typically are delayed as well. Many reasons/theories abound as to why this is. Some off the top of my head are: They do not focus on their adult models as readily as a single child would due to distractions by each other. Parents attention is divided amongst them. Nutritionally in the womb, it's theorized that they get less as while they develop. And so forth. 3. Kodas - They don't get the phonics advantage exposure that a hearing child does for picking up the English language. I only recently learned that the "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" song actually is a tool for helping a kid learn the alphabet. I never would have guessed. :shock: Now we play it every night at bedtime before story time! Btw, when I met with the school admin about my kids enrolling into her school, she seemed to be more open to the possibility than I expected which impressed me. However, I still have the big Department of Education "They are hearing so no they don't qualify for an IEP" hurdle coming up. Even if they somehow clear that one, the admin at the school also said that she didn't think the school was ready to incorporate KODAS into the program partly due to trying out a new curriculum this year but she wanted more information on how the other schools were doing it so we will see. -Aquaman [/QUOTE]
