I currently have a student with a hearing impairment that can read lips and knows sign language. The Interpreter follows the student throughout the school day, for help communicating with his teachers and peers. This student sits close to the smart board for my visuals and the interpreter is seated near him for help if he needs clarification. When he communicates with the interpreter he speaking and signing together, so sometimes the students can understand him to help. I can work with him visually on his work and so far he understands what to do, and enjoys being in class. The only part that is difficult for him is when I am giving a demonstration, he needs to watch me and the interpreter at the same time. This makes her job more difficult, as he is talking/signing as I am talking too. |
