[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 555224, member: 11847"] I would visit the school. Maybe ask to be there all day (without your kids of course). It sounds like it would be good for both kids. Whereas the current school is only good for one kid (with some major noise issue nontheless). If you like what you see: I would move both kids if I were you. Sometimes you have to do what is best for the family as a whole. And it is nothing to be sorry about. That's what family is about. Transitions are always hard, but look beyong the transition when it comes to make a decision. And sure, ask your kids how they feel about it, but be very clear YOU and husband are making the decision, not them. As far as being mingled with deaf kids: why not? There can be no harm to it. only benefits: teach difference, acceptance, learning and living with one another as human beings and not as "deaf kid" or "Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kid". As you might know, we have a mix social group (disabled and non disabled kids): it goes great and Partner for instance don't see any issues with it. I also remember as a kid having a neighbor and friend with down syndrome. She was in my class for the 3 years of nursery school and remained my friend through adulthood. I would go ring her door bell to play with her. I would lend her my baby books as she was learning how to read. Slowly, as I grew older, I realized that she was different. But she was my friend first. If you teach kids acceptance, a lot of good can come out of it. The benefits go both ways. [/QUOTE]
