Description
Students with communicatively significant hearing loss increasingly attend regular classrooms, and many are referred for assessment. Myriad additional risk and resilience factors become important that are not a typical part of evaluations with hearing students, and assessment tools and methods may require accommodations and modifications. This practical skills workshop will help prepare practitioners to evaluate students who are deaf or hard of hearing and to know when to seek further consultation.
