Need guidance from Deaf Community

Hello,

I am writing in regards to my Step-Son who has been deaf since birth. He is
27 years old and is currently living with myself and his father in
Midlothian Texas.

For the past year we have been trying to get him into Big Springs College
for the Deaf without any luck. He does not drive so he is basically here in
his room all day and all night.

We would like to find a place for him to be able to live and work in a
community where he can be around young people his age and have some quality
of life and possibly have a family of his own.

He did graduate from High School in Seagoville, Texas, although he is barely
able to fill out any forms by his self. We feel he needs to find a job that
he can do without the schooling and be able to support himself. He currently
gets SSI. We tried to go through DARS, which we both worked on for a year,
but, they did not have anyone that spoke sign.

We would deeply appreciate any assistance you can give us in this matter.

Thank You fro your help!

Shannon and Michael Wilder
