Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hi there, I am just wondering what kind of services any of you get or I might expect from a ToD. Currently we do not have one for my daughter, but I am thinking we need to request it at the next IEP. What kinds of things can they do (kindergarten), how often? etc. etc. WE have never used or been involved with a TOD but the teacher is always asking me questions I don't have answers for. " how do we use phonics with a deaf child? " " how do we teach her to read " ? I DON'T know!!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is on a 504 or in special ed? If not, you should probably have him evaluated (I apologize if you've told us your story - my poor brain!).

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I think that any child with hearing loss qualifies for a TOD. We got ours through our school district as part of his IFSP.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 In our district our teacher of the deaf is called a Hearing Itinerent, HI. She works with 3 days a week for 35 minutes. I know that there are other children whom she just consults with the teachers about to see how they are doing (these are children with hearing losses that don't wear aids). It is my understanding that you don't need to qualify for " special services " for a child with a hearing loss to have a TOD. This is a service that is unique to children with hearing losses. So ask your school district about having these services provided. Even if it's only to consult with the regular ed teacher once a month.

Others dream things that never were and ask why not.
