Echo Center and Echo Horizon School have created an elementary school environment that addresses the needs of hearing and hearing-impaired children enabling each to develop the necessary skills to participate confidently and productively in society.
Children learn at varying paces with spurts, jumps and lulls at different points.
We use an individualized approach to instruction with the belief that instruction should be geared to the concept or skill that the child is next ready to learn. Instruction and practice should be at the right level of difficulty so the child feels both challenged and successful. Therefore much emphasis is placed on developing independence in the child. In the classroom we provide the children with opportunities to make choices and decisions while teaching the criteria for making those choices and decisions productive ones. In 1983 Echo Horizon School, a mainstream environment in which hearing-impaired children can work and learn alongside hearing peers, was established.
