...
y, tags along on his morning routine and, with the help of her special friend, we learn that it takes more than hearing aids to help Skyler feel like talking again.This 35-page full color children’s book by Audiologist Jim Bombicino provides avenues for discussion and building vocabulary by highlighting the difficulties that students may face each day, including mishearing and misunderstanding information, the effect of background noise, and consequential frustration and confusion that can happen when the ease of daily communication is taken for granted by typically hearing persons. In this case, the story follows a young boy as he awakens and prepares for a typical school day.The e-book version includes audio of the text read by actors, while their voices are filtered to imitate how Skyler hears through his hearing aids! Listening situations include a speaker with added background noise, simultaneous speakers, a speaker talking too quickly, and mishearing words—all heard as they come through Skyler’s hearing devices. Perfect for helping teachers, families, and classmates understand what a hearing loss might be like. Finally put typically hearing adults and children in the shoes of the child with hearing loss!Please note: Compatible only with iPad and iOS devices.

s the concept of inclusive education, as well as the barriers which a child with hearing loss could experience. However, these barriers can be overcome through an attitude of determination, with ongoing training and self-enrichment on the part of the teacher and the broader community. Overcoming the barriers is imperative for inclusion to be successful. Inclusive education starts with parents advocating for their children with school management.Inclusion exposes a child with hearing loss to individualized teaching strategies. It requires additional support from family and the school team, which usually includes the classroom teacher and the teacher of the deaf/hard of hearing and may also include the speech-language therapist and other special education support staff in the child’s school.The purpose of inclusive education is to ensure that all children gain access to knowledge and skills that will make them socially and economically independent. The main requirement for inclusion is that the school must be willing to accept the challenge and adapt.
