Deaf School or Mainstream Program

Pros and Cons of Both

He is learning so much more being in a class where they only sign. He does receive speech therapy twice a week for 30 min. We have chosen to do total communication with our children. My husband and I are not deaf nor hard of hearing. The other thing I have noticed since we have put our son into a Deaf School, is that his speech and language is really coming out.

The other thing I wanted to say was, even the deaf schools have sports programs for their students. They have a cheerleading squad, Football team, Basketball team, ect..... It's not just mainstream schools that have those programs.
