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.
