My Students

The acquisition of language, and being able to use it, is often taken for granted by those of us with normal hearing. All my students have language delays due to varying degrees of hearing loss. They struggle daily to communicate their thoughts and feelings effectively.

I have a self-contained class that serves students in grades kindergarten through 5th.

I have the only deaf/hard of hearing self-contained classroom in the county's public school system and currently have 6 students in 4 different grades that are bused from various districts throughout the county. My students are mainstreamed in regular classes for various subjects and/or related arts activities. All of my students use cochlear implants or hearing aids to help them hear and acquire language. Their language delays range from a year to several years when compared to their hearing peers. My students are fun, energetic, enthusiastic and curious learners. Due to their lack of hearing, they are very tactile, kinesthetic and visual learners.

My Project

I am requesting an iPad with protective case. This technology will allow my students the opportunity to continue to learn and grow in their language and math skills during independent center time when my time is needed with a different student as well as explicit direct instruction. My students need as much visual input as they can get as well as the auditory component to go with it. Access to technology is so important in this digital age and I want to be able to provide that for my students as well.

What an exciting and engaging way to learn language!

They don't even realize how much they are leaning! I believe this will truly help to increase their language skills to be better able to communicate orally with their friends, family and teachers and be able to close the language gaps. Overcoming a language barrier is such a huge accomplishment! Please help me to help my students overcome theirs!
