Tomorrow, we will visit the Bright School to tour the facility, and see if it's a good match for Elliot.
I have mixed feelings about it all. There are some definite benefits to having Elliot so close to me. Contact with his 4 therapists each week, discussions with the teachers about what he needs..Elliot has grown tremendously at Abeona House. I have no doubt that he is flourishing and happy because of the love, patience, and instruction of his teachers.
However, if there is an environment that weaves sign language and literacy in a way that has greater impact for my child with hearing loss, there's not really a choice. I chose the job at Abeona House because of Elliot, and what I perceived his needs to be. If those needs have changed, I need to be prepared to choose what's best for him.
There are no easy answers on this road. I'm just grateful to have good company.
