# Breaking Down Barriers for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students 🎓

Did you know that while DHH students often perform better academically in mainstream settings, many general education teachers lack the specialized training to fully support them?

**The reality:** Students with hearing loss face unique challenges including:
- Auditory fatigue with physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional consequences
- Listening gaps during note-taking and group discussions
- Background noise levels averaging 76.8dB during group work
- Social isolation and communication breakdowns

**The solution:** Itinerant teachers of the deaf play a VITAL role in bridging this gap by:
✅ Training general education teachers on best practices
✅ Implementing classroom modifications and amplification technology
✅ Providing communication supports and accommodations
✅ Ensuring equitable access to curriculum

**Simple interventions make a huge difference:**
- Seat students opposite the teacher's dominant hand for better sight lines
- Use "talking sticks" during group work
- Provide frequent listening breaks (every 15 minutes)
- Repeat all student responses into HAT systems

Every child deserves equitable access to education. It's time we amplify support for our DHH learners!
