Deaf Misbehaving Five Year Old in School

Tuesday September 30, 2008
A new school employee is frustrated and bewildered by the behavior of a deaf five year old boy. While the parents speak Spanish at home, the child is being taught at school in English with total communication. Plus, the child's behavior is "horrible," and the school employee doesn't know if it is the child's personality or the child's deafness.

I already asked if the child's language was inadequate. Join the discussion on the forum. No registration required.
