It’s our job! Effective teachers are able to maintain open lines of communication with their students.

…Everyone communicates and our job as educators is to employ the most effective strategy for a given individual…

> 90% children w HI have hearing parents(Goldberg, 1997; Eastbrooks, 1997)
Parents involvement in their deaf children's physical activity and fitness is vital. When parents are aware of & involved in Deaf sport (and sign language); their deaf children are not only more active, but also more fit.

deaf vs. Deaf• Deaf persons: deaf & hard-of-hearing; has any level of hearing
loss: • above 55dB (or deaf) or greater residual hearing…• losses below 55dB (hard of hearing)
• Deaf: capital D, used by Deaf community; ownership/pride in societal group w/own cultural elements: language (ASL), history, arts, literature, & sports (Berke, 2011)
• Deaf individuals do not see themselves as having a disability.• Deafness - vital part of their identity

Communication etiquette (adapted from Columna & Lieberman, 2011, p 12)
• Use direct eye contact when talking with a Deaf person
• Introduce self; use short, direct sentences • Allow a Deaf person to introduce self • Get attention before speaking• Avoid covering mouth• Don’t pretend to understand – be sure, then proceed• Encourage deaf person to repeat what was presented to
them – “check for understanding” • Allow a Deaf person to watch first then respond. Use
demonstrations, read materials, interpreters message; so, remember to wait before continuing
