[quote=Anonymous]Get hearing aids and see how she does. Pilot caps (Hanna Andersson) are a pretty common solution to help keep the hearing aids in because they don't block or muffle sound. Keep in mind you don't just want access to sound and speech you want language and you want it ASAP. Start using ASL to fill the gaps. Both Maryland School for the Deaf and Kendall have early infant programs. MSD's family education program in Frederick is great. It may be a bit far for you, but I did know some families from Montgomery County who took their children there. Both of those are bilingual schools - but many kids (at MSD at least) are also bimodal and use CIs/hearing aids and ASL. They will also do home visits. Montgomery County's early intervention is good - contact them. They will do also do home visits. [/quote]
