SPED 3000 Chapter 16

Students with visual or hearing impairments is a common occurrence in a classroom. Many students know wear glasses, contacts, or hearing aids. The student could be exceptionally bright, but have trouble with assignments due to misunderstanding or not being able to read the work. I found the strategies really interesting listed. Some of the things, like write page numbers on the board, seem simple but can really help those children that struggle to hear to interpret what you say. I do have some experience with hearing impairments, as two of my cousins are completely deaf. I know the basics in sign language, but I have been trying to learn more from my aunt recently to have that knowledge when I am a teacher. I think hearing and visual impairments are often over looked by teachers, and many don't go the extra step to ensure those students are taught as well.
