pdf 05. Supporting the achievement of hearing impaired children in special schools Popular

• This resource will be useful for anyone who works with deaf pupils in a special school. It will help you to improve outcomes and progress for deaf children and covers the following topics.
• Understanding deafness and how it impacts on a child's ability to access teaching and learning.
• Ensuring the effective use of hearing equipment.
• Creating a good listening and learning environment.
• Knowing how to communicate effectively with a deaf child 
• Adapting teaching and learning strategies to ensure the curriculum is accessible.

This resource will outline practice, strategies and advice that will improve communication for everyone and therefore benefit all children in your school. 

Throughout the resource, we have included case studies that show different ways that deaf children with additional needs have been supported by special schools.

No two children with additional needs are the same. However, you may be able to identify strategies from these case studies to support a child you are working with. The child�s peripatetic Teacher of the Deaf or local specialist educational support service for deaf children can also support and advise you.
