I believed that as long as deaf children could find their way to deaf schools, the details would take care of themselves. Kasun, once immersed in a deaf school, would gain language, make friends, and accomplish his dreams.

i think many of us struggle with this illusion. not just with the deaf, but with all children. schools are incredibly important, but so are networks and other means of support. we need a vast network that includes schools, training programs beyond schools, contacts, etcera etcera.
