Halloween Trick-or-Treating

If you host trick-or-Treaters with a hearing loss tonight, make sure you have a bright porch light on so that they can see your faces and be included in the verbal dialogues. Make sure they are aware of the road and look both ways before crossing. With all of the background noise, they most likely won't hear the car coming down the street.

Selecting Appropriate Accommodations for Students with Hearing Loss

In order for a student to receive services thru the DHH program, the student must show evidence of a hearing loss and an adverse impact on educational performance. One piece of evidence of hearing loss comes from a hearing evaluation administered by an audiologist or an otolaryngologist. It is important to use the results in order to select appropriate accommodations/modifications/teaching strategies for students. For example, this student has a low frequency hearing loss as shown by the audiogram below. It will be important to keep in mind that this student will have an easier time understanding females and high pitches rather than males and low pitches. This information will help you better select appropriate educational needs of the student.
