St Rita's School for the Deaf

This morning Mike and I toured St Ritas (St. Rita is still Saint of the Impossible) http://www.srsdeaf.org/. It is a school for the deaf but also has an apraxic program (only one in the country that we are aware of). We have heard nothing but great things about the school so we decided to check it out for ourselves. It is a huge old institution...very foreboding....but once inside the classrooms and the climate are awesome. The entire staff speaks and signs....it was interesting to hear the deaf children speak...they reminded me of Madison. To watch the classroom function (based on the Montessori concept) was amazing. We believe that Madison would get a top notch education there but we have to wait and see if she is accepted. Her eval is on 19 March...we will keep you posted.
