Other issues you may need to discuss

There are several other topics that should be discussed with the teacher prior to the start of the school year, some of which may not apply to your child. These are:

• Implementation of a sign language interpreter in the classroom, if relevant for your child
• Refer to the Working with an interpreter information sheet for more details.
• Your child's social skills, and any methods you would like the teacher to implement to support development of these skills
  
• Refer to Preparing your child for school-entry mini-course for more details.
  
• Refer the teacher to the Social integration of a child with a cochlear implant mini-course.
• Methods to communicate with you periodically about your child's progress
