Remember not only children with a diagnosed hearing loss can have difficulty hearing. Students with the common cold or allergies can struggle for a time also. Just keep things visual and face your students at all times during instruction then everyone wins!
Deaf or Hard of Hearing students have a lot going on in their world during classroom instruction. They are paying attention to the teacher, the interpreter, what is on the board, class discussion (looking for the face that is talking), and looking down to take notes. Hearing people can continue to listen and take notes. Deaf and Hard of Hearing students will miss a huge chunk of information when they look down to write. This is why having someone that is reliable taking notes for the deaf/hard of hearing student(s) or share the teacher's notes is crucial to their learning.
Thank you to our administrative professionals on National Administrative Professionals' Day 2020! We would be lost without you!
Having a hard of hearing student in your classroom isn't scary, if you keep these things in mind. Make everything visual, write down important information, repeat directions and the questions from other students during classroom instruction.
Have you ever been frustrated with someone not hearing you? If they have a hearing loss, this diagram will show you why they are not understanding? Please be more patient with them and make sure they can see your face when you are speaking to them.
The word deaf is used to describe or identify anyone who has a severe hearing problem. Sometimes it is used to refer to people who are severely hard of hearing also. Deaf with a capital D refers to people who have been deaf all their lives, or since before they started to learn to talk. (signhealth.org) Picture credit: Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
