Introduction
This site was developed in an effort to
assist speech-language pathologists in working with
deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. However,
it is not meant to be a comprehensive treatise on assessment
and intervention with deaf and
hard-of-hearing individuals. Instead, it provides a sampling
of the kinds of activities that may occur.
The
strategies and techniques discussed and demonstrated
here are based on experiences with deaf and hard of hearing college
students. Consequently, they may be most appropriate for older
children and adults. The
instructional sequences with students were filmed
during actual therapy sessions and were subsequently selected
for demonstration purposes. They are therefore more “real” but
also less polished than if we had used scripted interactions.
Students granted permission for the samples that were used.
