Each item in my cart will be used to enhance student listening skills--also called auditory training. Using books, games, and iPad apps make learning to listen fun. I often make my own materials tailored to a specific lesson, but I need a laminator for flash cards and game pieces. Listening with a hearing loss is exhausting. Even a quiet classroom has unwanted noise. Reducing noise with the chair booties will reduce listener fatigue. Reducing noise also helps save the teacher's voice. Measuring classroom noise and the teacher's voice (with the sound pressure meter) will help regulate the signal-to-noise ratio. Dampening noise makes a desirable listening environment for all learners! All my students have self-advocacy goals as part of their education plan. Every spring they prepare "video introductions" where students describe the communication challenges they experience in the classroom. These videos are shared with future teachers at the start of the new school year. You can only imagine how well received these video introductions are by the teachers! For this assignment, having an iPad and tripod will be so useful! Families with infants on my case load are interested in learning signs rooted in American Sign Language (ASL) to make language visually accessible at an early age. Using the sign language board books I selected will expand sign language vocabulary. Other families are past 1-word signs and want to learn more sophisticated phrases--actual American Sign Language. Using the Master ASL! curriculum will help me organize year long lessons. Auditory training, laminated materials, reducing noise, promoting self-advocacy with iPad videos, and making language visual allow me to meet the range of communication needs of my students. There are many ways to listen--not just with your ears! You can listen with your eyes, too!
