Kay-

Just one more question. With regard to an FM unit for

EMily in school. Do all schools have a trained

audiologist to fit this and maintain it and make sure

it is used correctly? Am I right in saying that it

isn't something you can just plop on a kid's head and

be done? You can tell I am real green at doing this

can't you? God Bless.

Some do, some don't. When JD was in a public school they contracted with a

local audiologist to adjust the settings. She couldn't do that for about 2

weeks after the school finally got a unit for him. They wanted him to wear

the unit before she adjusted it, but I wouldn't allow it.

Very true, expecially the ones that have amplification built into them. It

would be like wearing an unadjusted hearing aid.

You're not as green as you thing. You are asking questions and trying to

find the answers to do what is right for your daughter instead of assuming

the schools always do the right thing. With any luck, yours will surprise

you and do what they think is best. Unfortunately not all schools are like

that and you have to go in prepared for that.

Hugs,

Kay
