The opportunity to access to all classroom instruction and peer-to-peer communication is a key assumption of regular education and of 504, IDEA and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA
...). A November 2014 policy guidance from the US Department of Education and US Department of Justice clarified that, under Title II of the ADA, schools are required to ensure that communication for students who are deaf and hard of hearing are as effective as communication for others through the provision of appropriate aids and services, thereby affording an equal opportunity to obtain the same result to gain the same benefit as that provided to others and to participate in and enjoy the benefits of the district’s services, programs, and activities . The ADA requirements restate the principles stated under Section 504, which is often seen as the means used to fulfill the requirements of ADA. Per the U.S. Department of Justice2 : Public entities must not discriminate against, deny the benefits of, or exclude qualified individuals with disabilities from participation in any service, program, or activity. The aids, benefits, and services provided to persons with disabilities must be equal to those provided to others, and must be as effective in affording equal opportunity to obtain the same results, to gain the same benefit, or reach the same level of achievement as those provided to others. These requirements apply to all school-related communication for children with known hearing, vision or expressive speech impairments, ages 3 through 22, who are educated in public schools, including charter and magnet schools

It is a well-recognized fact that
hearing is critical to the development of speech, language and listening
skills. Once hearing loss is identified and a child is fitted with appropriate
hearing dev
...ices, intervention is recommended to promote the development of
speech, language, and listening. Children with hearing loss are often
referred to a speech and language therapist to develop speech, language and
listening skills. Speech and language therapists are, however, not always
available, and a weekly session at a therapist alone is not sufficient to
develop these skills. Family members and caregivers play a critical role in the
development of a child's speech, language and listening skills, as they
interact with the child daily. Regardless of whether there is regular access to
speech-language therapy, there is much that parents and family members can do
at home to develop these skills.
This
book is intended to give parents, caregivers, and family members ideas for fun
activities which you and your child can do to stimulate language development
and listening at home. This book is divided into twelve lessons and each lesson
contains a parent article, language and listening activities and a parent
feedback sheet. Activities are selected to form part of your daily routine, and
therefore no additional time is needed to perform them. Guidelines are also
provided to make inexpensive toys with everyday items. It further includes
information on the importance of music for language and listening development.
