Abstract | This article describes one family's journey with their child, Teresa, who was diagnosed with a mild-to-moderate hearing loss in her left ear and a condition known as hypotonia shortly after birth. Through the course of several tests and diagnoses over the years, Teresa was diagnosed as deaf-blind. After Teresa's needs outgrew what Maryland School for the Deaf (MSD) could provide, Teresa attended the Easterseals Child Development Center. Teresa's family's journey is an example of why we should never forget that a young child's journey, no matter his or her abilities, is best supported by helping that child reach his or her full potential. One way that potential is supported is through inclusive environments, which have opened up a new world to children like Teresa. Typically developing children benefit from these environments, too. They come to see the beauty and joy these differently-abled children bring to the world. (ERIC). |
