Classroom Observation

I was in LE's classroom helping out for a Halloween party and I tried not to be obviously staring at him while his teacher read to the class. They were sitting on the floor directly in front of the teacher and LE was right at her feet. I noticed when the teacher was reading and the other kids laughed LE did not. MMM, what does this mean?

Batteries in the Hearing aids

This morning I changed the batteries in the hearing aids for my son and I could tell there was an instant difference. Yesturday he was talking really loud and I just knew the batteries had gone out on the hearing aids.
So for those of you new at this: They lasted for about two weeks. Check the batteries and change them STAT.

Requesting an FM system from the school

I am afraid of the fight or resistence I will face with the school district on my request of an FM system for my son who is only 6 years old and has a mild to moderate hearing loss. I am so new at this and hope someone can help prepare me for what lays ahead.
He was diagnosed four months ago and has only had his hearing aids for two weeks. I am learning from researching the FM system that he would benefit emensely.
I have spoken to the head of Special Ed and have been told an assessment will be done. Once my son has been tested a decision will be made as to whether or not he qualifies.
Does his hearing loss not qualify him? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
