All of my students are superheroes with unique abilities because they are all considered deaf or hard-of-hearing. Teaching them new concepts and helping them reach their highest potential is both incredibly rewarding and challenging at the same time due to their many different needs. Majority of these students are of lower socio-economic status, and due to their limited access to both spoken English and sign language at home, these students require instruction that is both visual and hands-on. The elementary school they are at is the only one in three counties that serves students within the Regional Day School Program for the Deaf, as such many of my students can spend upwards of 45 minutes on the bus. My students do not view themselves as different, and it is my goal to keep it that way.
