I will say to Mr. Lennon that I have seen FM technology in use in the classroom. It gives rise to all those funny stories that one has to remember when to turn it off. I see absolutely no good reason to not extend it to parents. As Mr Lennon said, once a child is sitting up in a highchair, that is when their language experience begins at home.
My first question is for Mr. Hamilton. He is a pupil of the Holy Family School for the Deaf in Cabra.
