You can help your hard-of-hearing students by inviting them to sit at the front of the classroom if they want to. If your student is using an interpreter or relying on lip-reading, visual clues or a hearing aid, being closer to the front will help them learn. Ensure you are facing the classroom when you speak, not the whiteboard. Good lighting is also a must so they can see you clearly. Speak normally and clearly, emphasising keywords. Repeat and rephrase when necessary.
