Children with successful early learning experiences have a greater chance of achieving their potential throughout their educational years. Our teachers develop working relations among the CST, classroom teachers and families. Carefully orchestrated support services can ensure that the child with hearing loss learns optimally in the mainstream. Our teachers provide academic support to help children succeed in their mainstreamed classes. Our teachers are trained to work with children who have all degrees of hearing loss.
Teachers have special training in working with children with cochlear implants.
They are familiar with modern technological advances in amplification, FM Systems, Speech to Print Transcription and other special devices. Our teachers provide your faculty with the information they need to help them understand the student's loss as it impacts on functioning in the classroom. Our teachers provide instruction in the classroom to sensitize students to the special needs of the child with hearing loss. Our teachers work closely with parents helping them to understand how the child's hearing loss affects learning, to provide information about organizations and activities to foster social development outside of school, and to resolve problems with hearing aid care and maintenance.
