My Project

Please help me promote deaf awareness with staff and students with the use of new materials! Some are geared for my littlest of learners that are using sign to communicate. They will also help support staff in the classrooms that I work in. Some are to share with hearing students during in-services about hearing loss and deafness so they can learn sign language and bring inclusivity into the classroom. Knowledge is power and these supplies will help educate and include ALL students. When you know better, you do better! Thank you so much for helping make my hard of hearing students be seen.
