My son's experience shows that this is not a reliable statement. Watch out for those who talk in absolutes. Each child is different, and there are really no absolutely wrong or right decisions. Good luck! Dixie >> Thank you so much for your words of wisdom. I just need to vent here. I was told again today by his SP that if he does not use his auditory & speech capabilities he will loose them. It just makes me so mad I want to scream!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHH I keep telling these people he needs to communicate to get an education it does not have to be 100% their way. We can use a manual form for this early period and work in the background with speech. I look at it as if he will have two languages under his belt one day. <<<Lets just get the ball rolling with what he can grasp at this time.>>> My proof is I have cousins in Germany that had to have 3 languages fluently spoken & written to graduate school at 15yrs old. How do they do that? They work with all 3 all the time. It can be done and is every day with great success. Why do we always have to deal with loads of small minded ignorant people to get to the few that have the working brains? (I am going to go 'Ask Jeeves' that one - it is my question for the new millennium) Vent secession over. I feel a small amount better. If I fall down in the dark again I'll have to use " The Clapper " **clap** **clap** Lights On I'm up and moving again. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
