OF HEARING LOSS CAN INCLUDE:
• difficulty hearing other people clearly and
misunderstanding what they say
• asking people to repeat themselves
• listening to music or watching television with
the volume turned up high
• difficulty hearing the telephone or doorbell

to concentrate closely while listening

8. EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES
• The subjects of grammar,
spelling and vocabulary
•taking notes while listening to lectures
•participating in classroom discussions
•watching educational videos
•presenting oral reports

9. TIPS FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTS
• Designating a note taker can allow a student
with a hearing impairment to concentrate
fully on listening to a lecture.
• A combination of traditional communication,
lip reading, sign language and assistive
technology can compensate for issues
which make listening to lectures and
participating in class discussions
challenging.
• Children who read lips often need to sit
close to the teacher, while those who use
sign language may use an interpreter

10. • Turning on captions during a video can
reiterate what a student may pick up from
his or her amplifying device.
•Finally, it’s important that parents and
teachers don’t underestimate a child’s
intelligence based on a hearing impairment.
•, “For most children with hearing
impairments, language acquisition and
language development are significantly
delayed. As a result, some may incorrectly
estimate the child’s intelligence as low.”

11. SPEECH IMPAIRMENT/ LANGUAGE DISORDER
“A communication disorder such as stuttering,
impaired articulation, a language impairment, or a
voice impairment that adversely affects a child’s
educational performance.”
“A person is unable to produce speech sounds
correctly or fluently, or has problems with his or her
voice”

fluency disorder; unusual word repetition and hesitant
speech

experiences challenges in pronouncing specific sounds
3. A language impairment -- can entail difficulty
