Bells toll for Domenica: "'I am a big girl now and I'm going to school,' Domenica said yesterday. She will attend St Pius X Catholic School, Windsor Gardens."
This is such a great story inspite of the headline. Domenica's first cochlear implant failed but the one in 2003 was a success so now she can hear and there is no reason she cannot attend a normal school. She is normal...technology has made her that way and she is such a cutie. Her family must be so excited for her and it's good for us to hear the good news stories because otherwise we'd think the world had come unglued. Townsend House has been training her and her skills will now be put to the test, but I am confident she will do well because SA is very good at letting vision and hearing impaired people just become part of the community. Our support agencies appear to be very good at helping people to adapt and training the community to just be alongside these people. These people? We actually make them quite normal here and that is something I am very proud of in SA...so I think Domenica's future will be as bright as she is.
