Missy's mom- I also have an almost deaf neice- she is young still (6th grade) and learned to read lips at a very young age. The school has an interpreter for her (sign language) she won't even look at her, because she want's to looked at as "normal" and since she can read lips she is doing ok.
She also has hearing aids, but I am not so sure they work well in real public places like school since there are so many noises.
Thanks for sharing your aunts reaction... I think my neice will have the same reply. |
