The Huron County Board of
Education agreed Thursday to
purchase a $1,025 phonic ear
hearing aid for a kindergarten
student in Turnberry Central
Public School. The board
approved the request made by the
school principal after superinten-
dant of education. Don Kenwell,
explained the reasons for the
board's involvement.
The child has a profound
hearing deficiency and according
to Kenwell, the device will allow
her to continue to reside at home
and attend the local school. The
other alternative is to attend a
special school for the hearing
handicapped.
Mr. Kenwell said he has a
letter from the Robarts School for
the Hearing Handicapped
recommending the use of the
device. He said it is not a normal
hearing aid but consists of a
receiver worn by the student, a
transmitter worn by the teacher
and a special power supply that
can be recharged.
He reported that the ministry of
education verified that the
equipment is classified as
personalized special education
equipment and is subject to an 85
percent ministry grant making
the board responsible for about

$150 of the total cost.
"I believe the student's welfare
would be better served by the
purchase of this device which
would enable her to continue in
her home setting rather than a
residential setting at the Robarts
School in London," he said.
He added that the grant portion
of the purchase was not available
if a private organization or parent
bought the device. He suggested
the board make the purchase and
assign the device to the student
for as long as required provided
she continues to attend a school
under the jurisdiction of the
Huron County Board of
Education.
Dorothy Wallace, trustee for
Goderich, pointed out that the
board had to pay no matter what
route it took. She said it could
help the child stay at home or it
could refuse the purchase and
foot the transportation costs for
the child to go to London. The
costs are for two trips a week.
John Cochrane, director of
education, said that the ministry
would like to see the child remain
in Turnberry as part of its overall
philosophy to leave children in
schools rather than "cart them off
to an institution."

A member from this area and
Blyth attended' the annual divine
service of Huron .North County
asked Mr. Kenwell if he had
approached a service club on the
matter pointing out that quite
often they are more than willing
to sponsor such a project.
Mr. Kenwell said he had
preferred taking the route he did
first since he did not relish the
thought of going to a service club
and having them suggest that the
matter should be handled by the
board and possibly criticizing the
board unduly.
Colborne Trustee Shirley
Hazlitt asked if it wasn't possible
for the board to use the 85 percent
ministry grant to help parents in
similar circumstances. She said
the board could make a -purchase
of a similaF device and then
collect 85 percent grant from the
province and the remaining 15
percent from the parent.
R.J,, Elliott of Blyth said he
wouldn't like to see the board set
a precedence by suggesting that
it would be willing to purchase'
corrective limbs or other such
things.
