Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 , From school, where he is HI and AI, he is actually in a first grade Autistically Impaired classroom, and my husband, who is on our School Board, says there are very few hearing impaired students in the district, but autism is on the rise 509%; but we are fortunate to have an AI instructor who has brought in a hearing consultant from our County HI school to help accommodate in the classroom. The teacher has me working with group of words with similar endings-of the same family of words-words that end with -ad or -eat, etc. I wonder if we could do lists of words that have initial consonant sounds, too? He has trouble especially with B, P, and V initial consonant sounds. I will have to look into this. is on the low end of the class, academically, but the HI consultant is adding boots to his hearing aids this month, so his teacher's voice comes straight to him, as opposed to everyone else's voice around him. Thanks again for your insight. Dawn _____ From: WSkier22@... Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 8:39 PM To: Listen-Up Subject: Re: Digest Number 2443 In a message dated 2/8/2005 6:39:31 P.M.
