Unfortunately, there are not a lot of materials available specifically for teaching Deaf children. It's really lacking! Many Teachers of the Deaf create their own materials. I teach math to Deaf kids... although a few of my kids are behind grade level in math, I don't typically have to "dumb down" my curriculum simply because they're Deaf. Whether some believe it or not, they are just as capable as their hearing counterparts. Nothing should be "watered down" for them. If anything, I have to take a different approach to teaching - a highly visual approach has been successful.

There are a variety of eduational settings that could occur in a public school - mainstreaming with an interpreter, teaching a small Deaf program within a public school, working 1:1 with students, etc. I'm not sure if my answer helps because your question is so broad.

Answer 3

Since my D/HH (5-8th graders)students are in regular ed. classes the regular ed. materials are modified by the classroom teacher who will select the questions she wants. The most modifications I make are if I have a student whose reading is so low that I select 10 vocab words out of 30 and 5 major concepts and make up my own tests. Most of my kids can handle worksheets by using the text or teacher notes.
For students who need more than the reg.ed can provide, I use any tradebook from the teacher store which has clear, concise directions, examples and lots of repetition.
Steck-Vaughn products.
I have a couple k-1st non-verbal, non-signing and use communication boards with Mayer-Johnston products

Answer 4

What kind of materials are you asking about specifically? Teachers have a plethora of resources for their deaf students and most of the same materials used for teaching hearing students can be used for deaf students.

Answer 5

I have deaf and hard of hearing students mainstreamed into a regular education setting and use www.readinga-z.com for their English Language Arts. These students are at grade level age-wise yet, are 3-4 years behind language-wise....so this reading program allows me to print what I need and create my own lessons from it.

As for Social Studies, Science and Math....you take everything and water it down for the specific academic level your deaf/HOH student is at.

There are tailored reading programs for deaf/HOH students...two that I know of are called, "Appletree" and "Milestones"....to me, they are too simple and mainly include fictional stories with cartoon characters. I need non-fiction because so many of my students are not street-smart....no language or communication at home equals kids who are extremely naive.......

The dichotomy between freedom and risk-free practices has continually been there. i think of you need to examine the form a sprint greater. the baby in question gave an straightforward answer. ideas you, i do no longer think of the baby is conscious of sufficient relating to the liberty he's refering to that he could make an stated determination (he's, after all, a baby), whether this is often been a tug of war between the two polls. Oh...and how is this approximately faith, skippy?
