Abstract: |
As full time working parents, we will share our journey in different states, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, to ensure that our three deaf sons from the ages of 0-3 had access to their primary language of American Sign Language (ASL) in their natural environment (daycare) that does not normally use the primary language that they use. We are considered pioneers in those states for ensuring that our sons get language facilitating services added to their Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP)s. During our presentation, we will review IDEA Part C and the advocacy that was used to get the services that our sons needed. |
