We've had teachers tell us that they think he can really hear and he is just faking it. I'm like, really?? I guess because he is very verbal and bright, he doesn't "look" hearing impaired. Hearing loss is a hidden disability.
Usually half-way through the year, the teacher has forgotten about the IEP and he's sitting in the back of the classroom, although the IEP also says he is supposed to sit in the front of the class.
