Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I am trying to get my daughter placed in a school for the deaf that also has an apraxia program. I want her school district to pay for it. She is 2 and is currently going to the school for the deaf. The motor movement of signing helps her verbalize the word and it also helps us understand what she is saying. Her speech therapist has made notes on her evaluations noting this. We are trying to figure out a way the school district has to say yes. Here it is... If my child were deaf and we chose to have her sign to aid in communication, if the school could not meet her signing needs, they would have to pay for the placement. They would never tell a deaf child they have to point to pictures to communicate. So what is the difference. , I know we have talked about civil right violations in other education areas. I think this is a violation of her civil right to an equal education. Am I crazy? Any ideas/comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
