DHH Resource Details

The focus of this guide is appropriate assessment practices for children from transition to school at age 3 through high school. Categories of assessment are presented, as are ways to tease out information from assessment results to illustrate how to identify needs to support eligibility.
Teachers who use this guide will have a much better understanding of the vulnerable areas of development due to hearing loss, how the areas interconnect, and ultimately how they are the experts in using the ‘deaf lens’ to contribute to their evaluation teams and service planning. This information will assist educators of the Deaf or Hard of Hearing, educational audiologists, and specialist speech language pathologists in being able to advocate with school teams for appropriately tailored assessment and program planning for students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
