partial deafness
There is a girl mainstreamed in my daughter's daycare -- 3.5 - 4 y/o who is partially deaf. She speaks beautifully, is in speech therapy, and has not needed any "catch-up help."
I just wanted to comment on how lucky you are to have had his hearing difficulty diagnosed so early -- despite it being familial in "K's" case, she was diagnosed until over 1 year ... and she STILL is thriving socially and academically.
Are you aware of all the implicatiosn of his specific diagnosis? That might be significant -- co-factors might require additional therapies or helps -- and bear looking into.
My daughter has a neuromusculoskeletal injury from birth, and her rehabilitation has been the most satisfying experience of my life!
Best wishes,
Linda
