In order for a student with hearing impairment to talk about hearing loss, amplification, communication repair and classroom accommodations in a knowledgeable, socially appropriate manner, the student must learn and use related vocabulary and problem solve what she/he would do when confronted with commonly occurring challenging situations. Practicing a student’s responses in the Challenge situations helps to create a mental dialogue that can be called upon when he/she faces the particular situation.
GOAL: To provide professionals and parents working with students who are hearing impaired with a fun way to evaluate, problem solve, discuss and role-play students’ self advocacy skills so they can access their school environments in accordance with IDEA 2004.
