...
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.

The Nature of Inclusive Education

Choosing the most appropriate school for a child requires collaboration between the parents and the school. Together, they should decide which will be the best option for the child. This module define

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.

...
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.
