Any chance you can hire an ASL fluent person to provide after school care for one or both of your children, perhaps in your home or their home, perhaps with other children who want an ASL child care environment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495714780129368546.post-75698477315833097942008-01-04T04:38:00.000-06:002008-01-04T04:38:00.000-06:00There are few daycares that include sign, usually ...There are few daycares that include sign, usually with a worker that knows some. The most comprehensive program I know of was the preschool center in the Bob Rumball Center for the Deaf in Toronto...it had both hearing and deaf children, usually having deaf parents. Staff there all knew sign.<BR/><BR/>Interpreters are not normally with us all of our school days or even throughout life. Since most of the time we get by on our own, it may be useful for your daughter to learn to cope in a totally hearing world for long periods of time.<BR/><BR/>It would be groundbreaking to ask that ASL-competent people be involved in the daycare program, though. It could attract more deaf children and open up Deaf community resources that bit more.Dianrezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077219189139398901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495714780129368546.post-91879825472023899132008-01-03T21:13:00.000-06:002008-01-03T21:13:00.000-06:00You may want to investigate whether the school is ...You may want to investigate whether the school is legally responsible in providing an interpreter. The program is operated by the school, on the school grounds. I would think they are required to make accommodation, due to the public funding.mishkazenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714824721166601510noreply@blogger.com
