I currently teach a student who is HH (Hard of Hearing). Her mother wants to make sure that her daughter is not singled out or embarrassed of her disability, so I try to mindful of that when providing her with accommodations. I use preferential seating and try to stand near her location in the classroom while giving oral directions. I make sure to face forward, speaking clearly to limit challenges with her hearing me. I also check back in with her to verify understanding of what I have over viewed, and monitor her face while I speak for any signs of confusion. Her IEP states that she is permitted a copy of all notes for class, which is not strictly something that we do. However, I am careful to point out the project requirements/guidelines that are posted in the classroom so that she is aware of the this reference in case she had any gaps in understanding. I try to make sure that she is getting all of the content that I expect her to without her privacy in regards to her disability being disclosed to her class and that her disability doesn't set her back. |
