Registration for Teaching Literacy to DHH Students

Students with hearing loss in Colorado, although low in incidence, have educationally significant and often quite specific needs in speech, language and academic development.  Service providers, especially Speech and Language Pathologists, may at one time or another provide services to students with hearing loss.  This course provides knowledge, information and resources to assist in better understanding, assessing, analyzing data and serving students who have hearing loss.

This course contains 5 modules which focus on the impact of hearing loss, aspects of a potential language gap, role of the SLP and essential nature of collaboration with service providers on the Deaf/HH education team as well as other essential components. Formal and informal assessment, using language samples, and knowing where to find resources and materials can be critical in providing specialized instruction and monitoring student progress.  Whether part of a large district program, a small rural school or anywhere in between, this course has been developed to support YOU in the services you provide to students with hearing loss.
