As an itinerant teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing, part of my job is educating other professionals about hearing loss and ways they can help their students. I find it helpful to give teachers a cute little poster/handout of suggestions and reminders. This is not an exhaustive list, but simply a starter pack of suggestions. I hope this handout is helpful to you and your mainstream teachers! There are two versions of this list (both are very similar). Both come in color and black and white. The first list is geared toward younger children. The second list is geared towards older students who have a lot of different vocabulary and switch classes. There is also space at the bottom of both to add your contact information in case any of the teachers have problems or questions.
