Supports for Students with Auditory Disabilities

Auditory disorders incorporate both deafness and hearing loss. The video below is very helpful in explaining the difference between Hearing Loss and Auditory Processing Disorder:


The next video demonstrates what a student with hearing loss hears in the classroom without a FM Transmitter transmitting the teacher's voice, and what he can hear with the FM Transmitter turned on.
There is quite a difference!


The next video is a demo of the iCommunincator software, which converts text into speech, which then can be played via a FM Transmitter or speakers, and also into American Sign Language.


Over at the side of my blog, there is a list of Adaptations that can be used to support a deaf or hearing impaired student in the classroom.
