Educational Interpreter, Guttenberg, IA
"As a third year DHH teacher and one who had my first year of itinerant teaching this past school year, this website is such a great tool! The modules are very helpful, offer great insight, and I love that they can be done on your own time. The monthly meet ups are great as well, as it’s a time for us to share ideas and feedback with each other. I am looking forward to the future of the website!!"

CREATING PEERS WHEN THERE ARE NO (DHH) PEERS
Cultivating and developing friendships can be a real challenge for DHH students. They may be the only student in the entire school with hearing loss. And yet, it is critical to their identity for them to feel comfortable in who they are for them to be able to have positive relationships with others, excel at academics, and even advocate for themselves as they go through life.
7 modules; approximately 45 minutes
Upgrade Me!CAPTIONING IN THE CLASSROOM
In spite of new technology and best teacher intentions, many students who function as hard of hearing still do not have equal access to their education. Learn the who, what, where and how students as young of 4th grade may benefit from captioning in the classroom to provide this access. Learn the different types of captioning, identify if it may be an appropriate accessibility service, and find out how to provide it for your student/s!
