Hi Yvonne,
Years ago I worked as a vocational placement specialist with special needs people. I also worked with some great audiologists who helped my clients with communications needs. I would suggest contacting someone like this at a local rehabilitation faclity to give you current information as to types of treatments/equipment that might be helpful to your child. There is a great agency in Minneapolis, Minnesota called PACER center. They can assist you with questions like this and any other issues that come up with people who experience special needs. You can reach them at area code 952-838-9000. I hope this helps. Good luck let me know how things are going.
