The provision of differentiated teaching methods is not sufficient to support a child with hearing loss adequately in a mainstream school. Additional classroom support needs to be provided as well. Al
...l of the classroom supports mentioned are very important to consider for students with hearing loss. What support and the degree of support needed should be based on assessment information that has been tailored to identify the specific educational performance needs of students with hearing loss.The services or supports provided will most often consist of specialized instruction detailed on the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and/or accommodations identified to address communication access issues of these students. Pull-out services by special educators, one-on-one with students or in small groups are usually necessary to meet specific needs. Push-in services where educational specialists work in a team-teaching model along with the classroom teacher or provide small group instruction in the classroom can often address some of the students’ language issues, social needs, and academic challenges.Regardless of current common practice, the array of supports described in this module should be considered by the school team, followed by discussions to determine intensity of intervention required for appropriate progress, who will provide these supports and services, and how best to meet the student’s educational performance with the goal of keeping pace with cognitive peers in the classroom.
