I'd really appreciate some advice. My dd has a CI and is turning three soon so we have started to look at schools. I was sure she would go to the local primary until i went on a visit the other day. Its semi open plan and the noise was horrendous i couldn’t hear myself. Don’t get me wrong dd is doing well, she can hear most things but with all the new vocab and extra distractions i worry she will not be able to keep up. How did you decide on a school? are there leader boards for academic outcome for deaf children? DD has good language she is making 6+ word sentences and understands complex instructions etc. so I hate for her to fall behind as she seems bright.
I sore the stats on the NDCS website about how many deaf kids don’t get good GCSE's the other day and i really don’t understand why? Does anyone have any thoughts about why so few deaf (no other SEN) kids do not achieve the same results as their peers? is it the school? Teachers? Support? what should i be looking for in a school for dd?
Thanks in advance.
