challenge affected your academic achievement? Growing up with a hearing loss, has affected me a lot with my education. I was placed in classes for the deaf (DHH) since pre kindergarten. Unfortunately, I did fall a bit behind compared to what the other kids education level was at. It’s very important to be able to hear when you’re a toddler because you are processing and learning new vocabulary and if you get discovered that you have a hearing loss at a later age than you fall behind without…

has come to incorporate a health and wellness model into music education curriculums because studies show musicians are at high risk of physical and psychological injuries at some stage of their lives.

model work for ALL students? Unfortunately the very medium used with good intentions could in fact create unintentional learning barriers for students with visual impairments, hearing impairments, and financial difficulties. (2). Statement of the position you take…

Scenario 1 The concerns that I have about this scenario is that CDA has been instructed by their supervising SLP to work on the patient’s speech output due to the severe nature of the patient’s dysarthria, while working on this they are also asked by a different specialty to monitor and document the patient’s ability to drink fluids during the session.

A deaf person can do anything a hearing person can do, except hear. A deaf person can read this paper. A deaf person can understand the arguments being made. There is no difference between how able a deaf person and a hearing person can read this paper. The idea that a deaf person can do everything a hearing person can do was not always a universal thought. In fact, before the eighties, the deaf community was rarely taken seriously. When the American’s with Disabilities Act was passed in 1990,…

Increasingly, deaf students are educated in mainstream school environments. This runs into problems with the demand of forming friendships with their hearing peers. When children that are deaf attend mainstream schools they have to have coping strategies when they encounter bullying and other problems in school. A study done by League for the Hard of Hearing in New York found that there is a gender difference in effectiveness of coping strategies used by the 35 deaf students attending a…

found out that there are more similarities than differences among them and their hearing counterparts. They went through the normal babbling sounds and other processes that the hearing ones went through. As hearing people we all tend to think that there is something wrong with a child that is Deaf, and they need fixing.

But what happens when children are different than their parents? “Bill is a lawyer. He works for a corporation and is very successful. His wife is a graduate of an Eastern woman’s college.

kids lives at my school. When I was a freshman I saw ASL was an option, and I wanted to be able to not only communicate with those kids who were hearing, but also those who were hard of hearing and deaf. I also want to be a nurse when I’m older and I can be more successful in my job because ASL has given me the ability to communicate with anyone with a hearing loss.’ He looked at me surprisingly with a smile and said “well, good luck to you!” We waved goodbye as we walked out and went back down…
