I'm a single mom of a 6 yr old autistic daughter who wears hearing aids in both ears.  Her words aren't always clearly spoken and there are times when she doesn't understand what youre saying, so if you sign it she will always get it !  She doesn't always use sign language but she knows well over 200 words in ASL.  There is nothing else wrong with her.  she has mild to moderate form of autism with pdd and hearing loss.  ASL came so easy for her at the age of 2.  Pictures don't work,  not even now.  She just gets confused with pictures. 

The school my daughter is attending doesn't give much therapy for communicating and the teachers don't know much sign at all.  Does anyone know of a good school for autistic children?  I am so willing to foreclose on my newly baughten home and live in a homeless shelter if needed. 

Thank you in advance for your help,

Mary
