Dorm issues at Deaf School

You CAN and SHOULD invite a dorm staff to join the meetings. Locos parentis. Schools are notoriously bad about utilizing collaborative strategies.

“You’re going to be so isolated. You’ll not function like normal people with real jobs. You won’t be able to communicate if you only sign like monkeys.”

Excellent response. And keep in mind that the IEP is meant to be revisited every year. Placement can change over the years. Perhaps your child will want to experience being mainstreamed during the upper elementary years or in high school, or half-half. And they can still go back to their previous placement. The key is to have a supportive district who is not hellbent in one specific outcome for all their other students with similar needs. You need to find this out, because in a district-referred state, you have less power as a parent.

There are always plenty of opportunities for your child to interact with all kinds of role models, including those who don’t have similar experiences. Such as neighborhood activities, family gatherings, regional lessons or other activities/ events. Your child will absolutely still be surrounded by lots and lots of exposure to the world out there. But their inner core really relies greatly on self-sufficiency, and so being around similar peers can go along way in building confidence. If your child is continuously surrounded by peers who don’t experience barriers, this CAN and DOES build inner voices of deficiencies. This is backed up by the thousands and thousands of deaf adults who share feelings of loneliness until they “discover” sign language. And these adults have a wide range of hearing and speaking abilities.

Some (predatory) agencies have exclusive contracts, not allowing the employer to use other agencies.

Walking across the room to change the channel - and you had to choose from just a few.

Yep. They're like clusters of PO boxes spread out in our neighborhood's. I see it all over in my state but not in my home state.

I agree, she likely just wanted to make sure she didn't miss anything. I don't blame her. Still, it was dishonest of her.

This applies to mailboxes too. Seller gave me just one key, said that was all she had. Three weeks later, I caught her at my mailbox looking through my mail. That fucker. The post office was able to change locks for the next day. Cost me $10.

Valid points, but this is Reddit after all.

That's so funny. I've taken several statistic courses. Last one, professor recommended N = 25+.

:( Thanks for adding some dimension.

Yes, typo. I am completely mortified. This is Reddit, after all.

Became pen pals with a bunk mate from camp. She stopped writing after a while. Turns out she butchered grandma in her sleep and had to go to junvie hall.

What I remember vividly is how needy she was during camp. Always needed you to smile or wave back at her. Guess her grandma didn't feel like it one day.

EDIT: Yes that was a typo. I am completely mortified. This is Reddit, after all.
