Teachers of the deaf/hard of hearing serve students birth through 21 years old in a variety of settings in member districts.
Teachers
are part of the educational team and are responsible for evaluation as well
as identifying programming for students with hearing loss. They
provide unique information on the impact of hearing loss on language,
communication, academic and functional skill development. They also
provide direct support in the areas of:
- auditory
- communication
- language
- vocabulary
- reading readiness skill development
- compensatory skill development
They also provide many indirect services including inservice, consultation, access and adaptations. Teachers work closely with support personnel including audiologists and interpreters/transliterators/transcribers.
