I had the privilege to teach and help a student that had hearing loss and struggled with hearing. Me being a very soft spoken teacher had to implement some accommodations on my behalf to help assist her and make her more productive and successful in my class, and not single her out at the same time. I always provided visuals posted around the classroom for all students to see. The instructions and assignments were written on the board for everyone. I posted and showed video tutorials during class and classroom demo's as well. I gave out handouts of all the assignments to students and I even posted the assignments on Teams and with directions and instructions for everyone. I assigned peer assistants to assist students with needs and then I took it a step further. The Library had a microphone that I could wear that allowed me to address/teach the class and be heard loud and clear by everyone. My student with the disability was extremely successful in the class and all the other students just loved hearing me teach and talk through the microphone. They thought it was rather fun and cool. |
