YOUR STAFF NEEDS EXTRA SUPPORT.
Your DHH teachers and support staff are on the run more than they're working with students.
Their caseload is diverse, and some of their student's needs are significant and unique.
They don't have access to colleagues to ask advice, get guidance, or share resources.
YOU COULD USE SOME GUIDANCE, TOO.
Deaf/Hard of Hearing students don't follow the same systems and processes such as RTI, LRE or even eligibility as other special education students.
As a "low incidence disability," you could use come guidance on what services should look like when it comes to direct service minutes, mainstreaming, sign language interpreters, technology, etc.
The Online Itinerant can support you and your staff today!

REQUEST A QUOTESUPPORT FOR THE CHALLENGES YOU FACE.
CHALLENGE #1: Your staff is always on the run. And so are you!
Itinerant teachers and educational audiologists spend more time behind the wheel than they do in front of students. Interpreters don't have prep or professional development days.
That's why The Online Itinerant has an app and is available from any device, any time. Trainings are taught in micro-modules (15 minutes or less), allowing easy access, even if you are on the road.
CHALLENGE #2: There's no time for trainings that aren't practical.
Generally, district PD doesn't apply to your staff that works with DHH students. But they certainly could benefit from Professional Development! The Online Itinerant has more than 50 hours of trainings, all exclusive to meeting the needs of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. All on-demand. Many are broken into 15-minute segments, allowing staff to access them in bite-sized pieces, allowing better implementation and follow-through.

Provide impactful professional development, assessments, resources and tools, all specific to meeting needs of students who are deaf and hard of hearing to your staff.
CHALLENGE #3: DHH students need specialized assessments, materials and resources to meet their unique IEP goals.
Including Audit-Proof IEP Goal Banks that provides assessments, audit-proof goals, objectives and benchmarks, the Teaching Toolbox offers more than 300 activities, resources, and handouts, exclusive to the needs of DHH students.

You and your staff can benefit from the experience of others, but don't have "others" to ask.
Power Hours and live support
Do you or your teachers, SLPs, Interpreters, and Audiologists have a question about how to meet the needs of a particular student? Need a resource? Wondering how others do things? Have strategies and tools you can't wait to share? The Online Itinerant has regular Power Hours where you can come and get your questions answered!

CHALLENGE #6: There's limited money in the budget.
The Online Itinerant offers professional development, assessments, materials, and live support for your entire staff who serves deaf/hard of hearing students. Some districts utilize funding set aside for professional development, others use funds set aside for assessments/materials while others count the cost for on-going support and meetings to support new Teachers of the Deaf. The cost of a membership for you and your staff ends up being less than $5/week, with a value that's impossible to measure. The Professional Academy is all inclusive and provides ongoing support all year. Most districts who provide memberships to their staff will tell you they can't afford to NOT have the Professional Academy!
