[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe some parents will purchase them to use for themselves and to send to school for use in the classroom. I'm surprised the school doesn't provide them - what school does he go to?

If your child is mainstreamed and depends on spoken language it is very hard to hear in background noise - and classrooms are very noisy. FMs help a lot by reducing or eliminating background noise. One negative is it reduces access to peers when they talk, unless they have the microphone.

Can you talk to your audiologist about what type they recommend and where it can be purchased? Maybe they can help you. [/quote]

Honestly, it's probably not something I can afford.  If I could, can I just purchase it and insist that the teacher use it?  Or do I have to get the school to acknowledge the need thru an IEP or 504 plan?  If they had to acknowledge the need, it seems like they would be obliged to provide it under a 504 at a minimum.

That I am not sure about, since we don't use them. I'd ask other parents if I were you. I would have it put in the IEP or 504, because then they would be required to use it (whether you provide it or the school does).[/quote]
