Content: Many IEPs for students with hearing impairment include self-advocacy goals such as identifying optimal learning conditions, utilizing communication repair strategies and knowing who to ask for help. Another helpful strategy is to pair younger children with older hearing impaired students or adult mentors for additional support and sharing of their own personal learning strategies. Over time, educators who work with students with special needs may find their methodology evolving. As they learn to cater to students with a hearing impairment, teaching strategies put in place for one child may become useful for several others in the classroom. Flexibly teaching in the general education classroom may lead to greater success for all. References
