I also don't think OP is asking for anything "special" from the family...other than to provide the hearing aides that the doctor prescribed for her.
If the parents informed the provider that the child is prescribed hearing aides, then I think the provider has every right to require that the child have them while in her home/care.
I know what she was talking about but I only dont agree about the form that she needs to filled out. Her state is very wrong to tell her that she needs to fill it out the form.
