The veteran population is more likely to experience traumatic brain injuries and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which are one of the most substantial risk factors for homelessness (Fact Sheet: Veteran Homelessness). Not only are many non-veterans not seeking medical treatment for their mental illnesses, but many veterans as well are also not seeking the same treatment.

However this upside to Alandra having a beneficial education took her away from her mother Tressa at a very young age. Tress explains this when she says, “I believe that leaving my five-year-old daughter at a residential school was the most traumatic event I experienced as a result of her deafness. I have heard all the reasons and excuses for sending deaf children to a residential school- better education, being with ‘their own kind,’ the amount of language they can absorb, and the freedom to express themselves in their own language. Still, I feel that nothing can replace the child growing up at home if a child’s family provides quality support and the public system makes educating deaf children a priority.”
