Bonnie-

This has been a powerful message for me after meeting you and Patty

because I feel that she and Aubrie are very similar in their hearing,

vision, and language/communication. I am curious to see if we get

helpful insight in this area when we go to Perkins. It's been something

on my mind forever, but I don't have the knowledge to support the idea

to the school. Or even to justify the time and energy required for me

and the family to learn and use sign. This is an interesting and

perplexing issue for me.

So, are we going to be able to see you guys when you are out here?

I sure hope so! We will arrive on Mon before 5 to check in and should

have the evening free. Tues is the eval day. Again, the eve will

probably be free. Wed is overflow day if needed and then we take the

train to CT.

Michele
