From a bit different angle - I would consider teaching the girl sign language in addition (and now as I think of it, letters, as soon as possible). I understand it is the talking she cannot do but would be capable of making gestures and is smart. Even only for communication with her parents to teach her ideas and concepts so she could express herself. And before I get some criticism I CAN "talk" in sign language and quite well, I hear and speak but I learned it from my two best friends who are completely deaf, because I wanted to communicate with them. Alphabet signs only took me two days to remember... it is not that difficult as you think.
On a side note, poor girl. I also have a 4 year old at home and any mention of a sick child is melting my heart. The subject of patents I won't go into, not enough knowledge there.
