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 J.E.

"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.
