Talk to Teachers Trained in the Education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students
Teachers who have had special training in the education of students who are deaf and hard of hearing form a part of your support network. You can expect them to answer your first questions, help you identify questions you need to ask the student and parents or guardians, and give immediate, practical classroom tips which can assist both you and your new student. Ongoing support to both you and your student is provided by these specialists. Ask your principal to identify key resource people in your district, or contact one of the resources listed in this guide.
