Literacy interventions for students with hearing impairments
Subject
Abstract
Literacy development for students with hearing impairments remains an area of study with little research. According to the literature, students who have severe hearing impairment or deafness struggle to develop their literacy skills, and teachers of these students are challenged in supporting them effectively. The author designed a professional development based upon the needs of these teachers. The professional development explored what hearing impairments were, understanding the different ways people with hearing impairments communicate and strategies teachers may implement in their classrooms.
