My Hypothetical Family Situation


My hypothetical family situation is based on a family who found out at an early age that their child is deaf. The family consisted of a mother and grandmother, who were the primary care givers and one sibling. Not born with any abnormalities the child was considered normal and healthy. Around the age of three the family begin to notice a difference in how the child responded to them. Concerned about what might be going on they consulted the child’s pediatrician who referred them to an ENT that determined the child had a profound hearing loss. The family is now faced with decisions that will have a major impact on how well this child develops.  

Questions:

1.      Do you think I have given a complete picture of this family and their lifestyle?

2.      Does this situation seem real?

3.      Do you have any suggestions on resources available that might be beneficial for this family to utilize?

4.      What obstacles will this family face once the child enters into school.
