[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.

Just to clarify, her loss is moderate (45-65 db in both ears) so she does well with hearing aids (no CIs). It sounds like her loss is enough to possibly qualify her for services simply due to the disability.  That would be such a relief.

It's an issue I've brought up here in Idaho that is frustrating - while she is doing well overall she still has specific problems that I think the schools should address.  She is 90th percentile (for hearing kids!) in receptive language, 60-something for expressive, but then has a few serious articulation issues.  I think those articulation issues are critical to her communication and need to be addressed, despite the fact that the mean of her language scores suggests she is doing fine.  Has anyone addressed this type of thing with IEPs-- overall your kid is doing well but there are a couple issues that should be addressed?  [/quote]

You will not have any issues getting an IEP just show the school the audiologist's report documenting the hearing loss.  Once you do that, it's pretty much a done deal even though you will still go through the steps for getting an IEP.

My child attends a language immersion charter school and there are several kids with hearing loss there.  (All doing great!). Our school provides a FM tuner system for these kids.  The FM system is definitely something you should ask for in the IEP no matter where your child ends up.  The school should provide it at no cost to you.  GL!

Not the OP, but with all due respect have you had to go through the process with a child with hearing loss? My child has a documented moderate-to-severe loss in one ear and the school district we are in is fighting us on an IEP.  Simply providing an audiologist's report isn't enough.  [/quote]
