When my sister’s daughter, Elenore was born, the found out she’s completely deaf in her left ear, and has about 50 decibels of hearing loss in her right ear. My sister just found out her 6 month old is completely blind in her right eye to go along with that. What kind of special challenges will my niece face as a result of her blindness, deafness?
My husband and I are going to take custody of her ( my sister is only 17, and doesn’t want to have to deal with her disabilities untill she is more ready, ie: an adult). She and my son, who is 8 will be the only children in the house. What should I do to help her in her developement?
