It's the beginning of the year and time again to talk to those mainstream teachers and staff members about the students with hearing loss. Wouldn't it be nice to have a cool powerpoint or slides prese
...entation with visuals and links? Well, here you are!! This is a template you can use "as is", or customize to your specific program. It has links to hearing loss simulations, comments on captioning and ideas from the Deaf community all ready for you to share!
How much do your students comprehend when given information through total communication? Do they understand information better in noise? What about information given verbally only? If you want clear c
...ut data on their best receptive language mode, then this is the tool for you!! The teacher/clinician reads 4 short passages and asks questions in different modes of communication-total communication, sign language, orally with noise and orally without noise. (Free passages and questions are available on readworks.org and k5learning.org). After scoring the student's answers, conclusions can be drawn about a student's preferred receptive language modality. This data can be used to justify interpreter services, the need for DHH instruction or to give accommodations for noisy classroom situations.
How much do your students comprehend when given information through total communication? Do they understand information better in noise? What about information given verbally only? If you want clear c
...ut data on their best receptive language mode, then this is the tool for you. The teacher/clinician shows the student 6 pictures in a category (animals, food, etc). She names pictures in each category using different modes of communication and with/without background noise. Students show what they understand by circling or crossing off the pictures and conclusions can be drawn about a child's receptive language modality. This information can be used to justify interpreter services, the need for DHH instruction or give accommodations for difficulties with noise in a classroom.
New to itinerant teaching or ready for more organization to the crazy start to the school year? The Back to School Checklist provides a step-by-step checklist to remind you of what is needed for each
...of your students. It includes a template you can use to create a Teacher Letter for each student. Take this step to getting better organized!
The fillable Functional Skills Checklist for Students with Hearing Loss identifies specific areas in which students with hearing loss are most vulnerable to communication access and interaction perfor
...ormance issues. Simply state the test used and the form will allow you to code it as Green – Yellow – Red, to highlight how the student compares with expectations for typical development. This helps to identify if an academic performance gap is present, or if it is widening as time goes on. Without the same performance or access as class peers, typical student progress is jeopardized. Appropriate planning will address how full access to education will be assured to prevent a widening gap in academic achievement.
All itinerant teachers need to be sure that they have compliant and best practice IEPs. This checklist provides a step-by-step way to review all information necessary for every IEP in a systematic way
..., from signatures and assessment to Present Ed Levels and Transition and everything in between! This item includes a fillable PDF form, and a Word document that integrates a dropdown feature with suggested answers or assessments. At only $1.00, you deserve this assurance that you are truly complying with all IEP requirements. And it is always a PLUS to be organized!
This workbook contains 40 exercises. Each page highlights a
single English word (e.g. light ) and uses it in four
separate, contextualized sentences (e.g. 1) Turn on a light !
The room is too dark!
...ark! 2) The kitten is light. The puppy is
heavy. 3) I ate a lot for breakfast. I will eat a light lunch.
4) Grandpa will light his pipe.) The student reads each
sentence. If translating to ASL, the student decides which ASL handshape was
used to make the sign for the target word in each sentence. The student cuts
out the related ASL Handshape from a copied page with all handshapes and pastes
it in the correct box. As each sentence uses a multiple meaning for the
word the handshapes used will be different-visually signifying the difference
in meaning despite the same English word. Finally the student illustrates the
sentence meaning. Vocabulary and sentences are kept simple to ensure
cognitive energy is focused of the meaning of the word in context.

This workbook is designed for beginning readers who are
Deaf or Hard of Hearing. It provides the reader with opportunities to consider
the meaning of the first type of figurative language- the "phra
...sal
verb". Phrasal verbs (for example, eat out, dress up, take
after, look out, etc.) can be very confusing for young readers because
they are not the sum of the word meanings as separate entities. For example
"get dressed" does not mean someone will literally obtain (get) a
dress. Rather the phrase means "to put clothes on". In this workbook
students practice this skill with 60 frequently used phrasal verbs. They will
read 2-3 highly contextualized sentences that are written with beginning
vocabulary. Students then discuss the meaning of the target phrasal verb. They
will identify the ASL sign handshape used to produce the phrasal verb (for
example, GET-DRESS uses the 5 handshapes). They cut out the 5 handshape and
paste it in a box on the worksheet. Finally, students will illustrate the
correct meaning of the target phrasal verb as used in the sentences. A pre and
posttest scoring grid is included for progress monitoring.

This workbook, though beyond the beginning
level, provides a clear format for considering how
figurative language "works" without high
level vocabulary and difficult syntax. Using simple vocabulary
...abulary
and comprehensible context, each page has a single word that is
used figuratively in two very short paragraphs (e.g. LIGHT- 1) eat a light
lunch, 2) to feel light headed). Students read the paragraph, discuss the
intent, provide evidence from details in the paragraph that lead to
their definition of the highlighted phrase. They then illustrate the
paragraph.
