Educ Deaf Hard Hearing

Description:

This course provides participants with language and literacy instruction and practice specifically adapted towards the needs of Deaf/Hard of hearing children. Language delays for children with hearing loss lead to extensive delays in reading and writing. Preservice teachers will design opportunities to increase overall language use regardless of modality and create direct literacy instruction aligned with language needs for children birth to grade 12 to be used in various settings. Best practices in literacy instruction and literacy pedagogy and dual language learning theories support a balanced reading and writing curriculum for children with limited auditory access. Literacy and writing curriculums as well as multi-modality strategies for children with hearing loss will also be discussed.
