If she is considered deaf/blind does she have vision? Is there a field loss?

Is the signing where she is able to see it? If she can't see it can she

feel it? Does she know what is going to happen before it happens?

Is she hearing impaired or deaf? What is her hearing? She might be a smart

little whip who can hear only a little but can fill in the blanks. Patty does

that and people assumed she could hear better than she actually did. I also

believe in using a variety of communication devices and programs. Oh and if

she has visual ability even if she is deaf she might be able to see what is

being said by lipreading. Patty is a pro at lip reading. She is also a pro at

reading body language. But it is ever so important for us to be facing her to

have her ear clearly. Even though she is hearing impaired she has missed out

on much communication. Patty is totally vocal but she now signs... Gosh that

is one of those things I wish she did continually. Signing is wonderful for

her now and should have been as she went through school. It would have been

easier for her to learn.

Can you have your teacher contact your deaf/blind program in your state to

assist all of you?

Thanks Bonnie. I am always afraid I say to much when it comes to behavior, but

it bothers me so much how " blamed " our kids can be, when there is so much else

involved than a simple choice to " be bad " . Kim
