[quote=Anonymous]Can you (or DH, depending on whose family it is) give them a heads up? Are you keeping them somewhat in the loop? A few days/a week before a visit, I'd send an e-mail like this: "Hey, Everybody, We're so excited to see you! blah blah.. Larla's still working with her therapists and making progress. She likely won't talk in new situations, it's nothing personal, and the best thing you can do for her is not make a big deal out of it. Her therapist/doctor advises just talking to her and treating her like a normal kid. And remember! There's nothing wrong with her hearing, so please don't talk about her condition as if she's not standing right there. If you have questions, please, ask DH or me after Larla goes to bed. Love, OP" [/quote]
