29 Speech/Language/Auditory Management of Infants and Children with Hearing Loss

Now that the fitting of bilateral devices (two HAs or CIs or
bimodal stimulation) is considered best clinical practice, the structural organization of individual training sessions has been forever altered. Particularly during the adjustment period of
having amplification on both ears, some portion of each therapy
session should be directed toward listening with each device separately and under bilateral conditions. Realizing that one of
the expected benefits of bilateral device use is improved listening
in noise, training tasks should be used where the hearing aid or implant user is expected to follow spoken language in the presence of competing background noise. Potential noise sources could be commercially available four-talker babble audio recordings22 or even talk radio. Over time, the signal-to-noise ratio between
the speech and noise should be decreased to aord practice in
listening environments that better simulate those encountered in everyday social interactions.
Pitfall
The national mandate to conduct EI sessions within the home environment is sometimes erroneously viewed by clinicians and parents alike as an opportunity for parents to merely observe or opt out of participating in the sessions (e.g., using therapy time as a break or opportunity to complete household chores while the child is otherwise engaged).
she can be expected to achieve greater auditory performance from those baseline levels if provided with appropriate technology and
sucient auditory-based speech and language training.
Systems like Signed English or Cued Speech23 coupled with auditory training may be the appropriate intervention for some older children who were taught visually in earlier intervention
and educational programs or who do not have sucient auditory
access. Yoshinaga-Itano23 reported that it is indeed possible to map acoustic cues and speech production cues onto an existing or intact sign language system. Both Signed English (i.e., a manual communication system) and Cued Speech (i.e., a phonemic-based system that uses hand shapes and body positioning to correspond
to speech) would aord an older child who is attempting to
advance her auditory skills with the best match between what she hears and what she sees. In contrast, American Sign Language (ASL) is a separate language with its own syntax and grammar; it is not designed to be used with spoken language. If ASL is paired with spoken language, a mismatch is created that may complicate the language-learning process.
Pitfall
Some teachers and clinicians report that they use ASL with English word order. However, because spoken language and ASL are incompatible communication systems, the child will have incomplete access to both spoken English and ASL as functional and complete language systems if they are to be used together.
29.6.2 Direct Intervention Services
The primary objectives of providing hear ing habilitation and reha­bilitation to pediatric hearing aid or implant users is to develop and expand functional listening skills for the purposes of contin­ued language learn ing and enhanced communicative inter actions.
Young children fitted with either conventional amplification or CIs
require direct instruction to master the vocabulary and linguistic structure of the language being directed to and around them. Their active involvement in meaningful social-communicative interactions with their typically developing and normal-hearing
peers significantly enriches their language learning eorts.
However, the increased auditory access aorded by a CI has
been observed to facilitate more incidental learning (e.g., learning from mere exposure) in these children relative to their profoundly
hard-of-hearing peers fitted with conventional HAs. During the
critical language-learning period (between birth and 3 years of age), the process of attaching meaning to auditory cues occurs with an ease and naturalness that are not observed when listening and speech are initiated at later ages.
Ongoing parent-child-centered training should be provided to
an infant or young child with HAs or a CI at least twice a week
for 60-minute sessions. Regardless of how often direct therapy
services can be delivered, auditory-verbal intervention is recom­mended if the family’s desired outcome for their child is spoken language. (See Chapter 27 for more information about dierent communication approaches.) In accordance with the child’s age and exhibited skills upon entering the hearing habilitation process,
29.6.3 Training Strategies
Several published auditory curricula oer parents and profes­sionals hierarchical guidelines for auditory skill emergence and a variety of useful training activities. sometimes inappropriately viewed as cookbooks to address
the individual training needs of a child fitted with HAs or CIs.
However, a thorough understanding of the underlying principles and training strategies of the auditory-verbal/listening and spoken language intervention model best complements the current trend of providing evidence-based intervention to this diverse population. Auditory-verbal/listening and spoken lan­guage approaches emphasize the development and reliance upon auditory cues to receive, comprehend, and use spoken language in the context of meaningful, real-life experiences.
There is a growing repertoire of available smartphone and tablet apps developed to supplement face-to-face intervention services for children with hearing loss. Ranging from apps that measure the loudness level of toys or the surrounding environ­ment to those that provide interactive tasks fostering listening, comprehension, and self-monitoring of the child’s productions, apps are motivating, manipulative, and mobile to children across the ages. They can also facilitate literacy, written language, and social skills (when used cooperatively in group sessions). The fact that many apps can automatically monitor progress is an added advantage supporting their use.

Pitfalls
Not all apps have “educational value.”
An SLP or LSLS might use the app as an “end goal” as opposed
to a means of reinforcing an auditory or speech-language target.
29.7 Conclusion
Documenting auditory skill emergence and speech-language
progress over time is the final component of the comprehensive
communication management of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The professional literature is expanding with the results
from a diverse body of research eorts, directed toward identify­ing critical prognostic indicators of success or benefit from current
technology and training options. have quantifiable evidence with which to determine the eective­ness of the hearing habilitation and rehabilitation programming

they aord. However, documentation from ongoing diagnostic
training, in combination with regularly scheduled comprehensive assessments, should direct future intervention for an individual child. Information from research and clinical domains, in turn, motivates the manufacturers to improve the programming sche­mas of digital aids and CI speech processors to meet the needs of a
n increasingly younger and more diverse population of spoken
language communicators with significant hearing loss.

Discussion Questions
1. What variables most inuence the acquisition of optimal func-
tional listening skill emergence and age-appropriate speech and language skills?
2. What role do realistic expectations and consistent commu­nicative demands play in the emergence of listening, spoken language, and literacy skills?
3. How does an SLP or auditory-verbal practitioner identify the present level of functioning and training needs for a child who cannot respond on formal test measures?
4. Why should the teenager be actively involved in the decision-making process regarding her communication management?
5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using digital technology in the management of children with hearing loss?

30 Educational Placement Options for School-Aged Children
with Hearing Loss
Carrie L. Spangler, Erin C. Schafer, and Leslie Allen
Summary
This chapter provides an overview of existing school placements and services for children with hearing loss as well as federal and state laws that mandate appropriate supports and services for children and families. There is a continuum of placements, ranging from residential schools solely for children with hearing loss to a fully mainstreamed environment at the child’s neigh­borhood school. The child’s educational team, including the parents, will need to determine the most appropriate placement by considering the physical and learning environments, instruc­tional style, support services, school culture, and the individual child’s hearing and education needs.
Keywords
bullying, self determination, mind map, peer group, adolescent/ teens
Key Points
Placement options should be determined based on the indi-
vidual child’s needs. There are practical tools that may guide professionals, par-
ents, and guardians in decisions about the optimal placement for their student/child. IDEA 2004 and Section 504 are laws that protect and ensure
that students with hearing loss have access across the educa­tional continuum.
Accommodations and, at times, modications are necessary
for students with hearing loss. Related service educational team members with knowledge
and skills working with students with hearing loss are essen­tial for the IEP and 504 team.
30.1 Introduction to Educational Placement Options
Program (IEP); and the family’s primary communication mode, such as listening and spoken language (LSL) or total communica­tion (see Chapter 27 on communication choices). Some children will not require special education services under IDEA and will,
instead, receive services under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. (See Chapter 31 for more detailed information about
education and access laws.)
30.2 IEP and 504 Plans
Before discussing placement options for children with hearing loss, it is helpful to understand the two major laws that guide educational placement and accessibility options for all individu­als with disabilities.
An IEP and a 504 plan2 are similar in that they both serve to
legally protect as well as provide accommodations, supports, and services to children who have disabilities. An IEP, which is governed by IDEA, is a plan that provides specially designed edu­cational instruction, accommodations (i.e., ensure full access in
the classroom), and/or modifications (i.e., changes to curriculum)
for children with hearing loss. If a student with hearing loss does
not need specially designed instruction, a 504 plan may be more
appropriate.
A 504 plan ensures that students with hearing loss receive the
accommodations needed to participate in school with no restric­tions, similar to children with no hearing loss. Professionals work­ing with students with hearing loss require a deep understanding
of the laws in order to eectively advocate for services. Additional
guidance on the laws can be found at the U.S. Department of Education’s website.
Pitfall
If school-based professionals are not trained and educated about the laws related to serving students with hearing loss, the child may not be able to reach his or her potential at school.
The optimal educational placement of a school-aged child with hearing loss is critical to ensure that he or she is working to the highest potential in the least restrictive environment (LRE). The
LRE, as defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA),1 is the regular environment where children without disabilities are educated. However, IDEA also acknowledges that some children may require special classes or separate schooling when the nature or severity of the disability precludes educa­tion in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services. In addition to LRE, other factors will guide decisions regarding educational placements for children with hearing loss including: child and family needs; coexisting disabilities; goals and objectives listed in the child’s Individualized Education
To guide parents, administrators, general education teachers, and special educators on decisions regarding the optimal place­ment for a child, there are published placement and readiness
hecklists for children who are in preschool and kindergarten,3
c elementary school,4 or secondary grades.5 Each checklist includes a list of questions under the following subheadings: physical envi­ronment (e.g., classroom acoustics); learning environment (e.g., centers, schedule, and behavior management); instructional style (e.g., use of visual information); school culture (i.e., support for students with disabilities); and individual child considerations. Sources of the information needed to complete the checklists may include the child’s current and potential teachers, parents,

IV Educational and Clinical Management of Hearing Loss in Children

and IEP team members. Information obtained is through observa­tions of the child, the child’s environment, academics, and other information to help determine appropriate placement options. The following sections of this chapter will provide an overview of the educational placement options that may be considered by the IEP team.
30.3 Preschool Placement Options (3–5 years)
Helping families navigate the preschool process can be a chal­lenge. Many factors need to be considered in order to help fami­lies and those in the educational system make the best choice for a child with hearing loss. Depending on the age of diagnosis of hearing loss, the child from birth to age 3 years may have been receiving services under Part C of the Federal Law. In order to be eligible for services under part C, a child will need to meet one of the following criteria: (i) developmental delay in the areas of cognitive, physical, communication, social adaptive or (ii) a diag­nosed physical or mental condition that has a high probability of resulting in developmental delay.6 The focus of these services is on supporting the family to enable them to meet the develop­mental needs of their child with a delay or disability. However, once a child reaches age 3, Part B services under IDEA govern service delivery by the local educational agency (LEA). The focus of these services is now on the child’s educational need. As stated previously, an eligible child is one who is 3 through 21 years of age and, by reason of one or more conditions, is unable to receive
reasonable educational benefit from regular education. Hearing
impairment including deafness is one of the categories of disabil­ities eligible for special education services under IDEA.
An evaluation to determine the need for special education for children with hearing loss should include an audiologic evalua­tion, otologic evaluation, speech and language assessment, vision, psychological assessment, an assessment of physical functioning, and other evaluations relevant to the child’s needs. Once the areas
in which a child will require services is determined by certified/
licensed professionals, an IEP team meeting is scheduled to review all of the assessment results. The IEP team, including the family,
will determine whether the student qualifies for special education
preschool services under IDEA. If the preschooler with hearing
loss qualifies, an IEP is developed by the professionals, teachers,
school administrators, and parents. The IEP plan outlines the continuum of placement choice, services, goals, and objectives for each area of service and also for related services (described in greater detail subsequently). If a child is not eligible for Part B preschool services, the school must include suggestions of other appropriate services for the child. Suggestions may include private therapies, private preschool, community activities, and/
or the creation of a 504 Plan to ensure access, such as improved
signal-to-noise ratio.
Preschool service opportunities vary as to location and char­acteristics, which impact the intensity of services and level of
personnel involvement. When considering dierent placement options for preschoolers with hearing loss, there is not a “one size fits all” program option. The key to appropriate selection of a
preschool is meeting the individual needs of each individual child with hearing loss. Meeting individual needs includes taking into
consideration a child’s overall functioning and goals in a variety of areas, not just the development of listening and speech skills. The Placement and Readiness Checklist (PARC) Part 2A (placement
checklist for preschool/kindergarten children) oers a two-part
instrument to guide the educational team in considerations related to placement and service options for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH). team consider the individual needs of the preschooler including the child’s communication, language, preacademic, and social needs in the context of the continuum of preschool environments. Parents are critical members of the team as well and will be the
final decision makers regarding the child’s communication mode.
The Parent Checklist: Preschool/Kindergarten Placement for Children Who Are Deaf and[sic] Hard of Hearing7 oers families a structured
tool to analyze dierent programs to help parents participate in a
team decision about the best placement for their child.

The placement checklist considerations help a
30.3.1 Preschool Continuum of Placement Options
Private Preschools: Private preschools vary widely in the types
of curriculum and programs they oer, and the cost of tuition can vary significantly. This option would be appropriate for a
D/HH preschooler who has attained age-appropriate speech and language skills. Careful evaluation of the program and philosophy is important for families including determining acceptance of hearing loss and willingness to make reasonable accommodations for the child. The educational background of the teachers in this classroom will vary widely from limited or no college education to master’s degrees in early childhood education.
Head Start Preschool: The Oce of Head Start (OHS) is a
federally funded program that is operated by local entities. Head Start promotes the school readiness of young children from low-income families through local programs. Head Start and Early Head Start programs support the mental, social, and
emotional development of children from birth to age 5 years;
preschool services may be full-day, half-day, or home-based programs. Most Head Start teachers have Child Development Associate (CDA) credentialing as well as degrees in early child­hood education. Again, it is important for the family to utilize a tool such as the Parent Checklist to determine whether the needs of their child will be met in the classroom.
State Preschool Programs: IDEA defines that appropriate
prekindergarten programs must be provided to all children
between the ages of 3 and 5 years who have one or more of the
disabilit ies enumerated in IDEA . States and loc al school distr icts are required by federal law to educate preschool-age children with disabilities in typical early childhood programs alongside children who do not have disabilities to the maximum extent
appropriate. Many programs are “cross categorical,” serving
all children regardless of disability category. Some districts have developed specialized preschool programs to address the
specific needs of children with hearing loss. A classroom can
have up to eight students who are on an IEP and up to four
“peer models,” or preschoolers without disabilities. Typically, a

classroom will have a teacher with a degree in early childhood education as well as a teacher assistant. Again, it is important to use the PARC and Parent Checklist to evaluate appropriate placement options for each student with hearing loss.
Public and private Auditory/Oral (A/O) or Listening and
Spoken Language (LSL) preschool programs: LSL programs teach infants and young children to use hearing and speech to develop spoken language for communication and learning. Children typically attend a preschool or early elementary program taught by teachers of the deaf [TODs], early child­hood teachers, Listening and Spoken Language Specialists (LSLSs), and speech-language pathologists (SLPs; described subsequently) with A/O and LSLS training and experience. Sign language is not used in the LSL approach; however, natural gestures that are used in typical conversation are included.
Public and private sign language preschool programs: Sign
language programs teach young children to use sign language, such as American Sign Language (ASL), as their primary mode of communication and language development. As in other programs, children attend full- or half-day preschool. Most teachers in these programs have degrees in deaf education.
30.3.2 Preschool Case Study
Sam is a 3-year old with bilateral cochlear implants (CIs). He is in the transition process from early intervention or Part C services to preschool services. He is an inconsistent user of his
CIs. His language levels range from 12 to 16 months receptively
and expressively. The family has chosen spoken language as his modality of communication, and listening and spoken language as the desired outcome. The parents have investigated edu­cational placement options and found a regional listening and spoken language public preschool program in the neighboring
school district. The school district of residence oers a sign language program and states that it can meet Sam’s needs eec-
tively. However, the district is not meeting Sam’s or his family’s needs. Instead, it is predetermining placement of service based on what it has to oer.
Pitfall
Hearing loss is a lower-incidence disability, and school district personnel may not understand the continuum of communica­tion options.
IDEA, Section 300.46 (a)(2)(iv), states that “the IEP team shall
consider the communication needs of the child, and in the case of a child who is deaf or hard of hearing, consider the child’s language and communication needs, opportunities for direct communications with peers and professional personnel in the child’s language and communication mode, academic level, and full range of needs, including opportunities for direct instruction
the child’s language and communication mode.”
1
30.4 School-Age Placement Options
(5 to 21 Years)
Universal newborn hearing screening, early diagnosis, early amplification, and early intervention are allowing more stu­dents with hearing loss to be educated in the general education classroom. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Education
show that over 86% of students with hearing loss are educated
primarily in their regular school, with varying percentages in the mainstream and/or in support classes.8 However, children
who are D/HH should not be made to fit into the program that
happens to exist in their neighborhood school. The needs of the student, which are informed by the family’s desired outcomes (including communication) for the child, data, team input, and evaluation are all factors that should drive program, services, and placement.
There is a full continuum of placement, program, and service options to serve D/HH students eectively, including those stu­dents with additional disabilities. These placement options will vary for each individual student. A key factor for placement options
will depend on whether the student with hearing loss qualifies for an IEP or a 504 plan. Some school-aged children with hearing loss
will not qualify for special education; however, the student may
receive a 504 plan in order to receive services, accommodations,
or hearing technology, such as digital or frequency modulation (DM/FM) systems or computer-assisted real-time translation (CART). A team similar to the IEP team, including professionals,
administrators, and parents, generates the 504 plan. Generally, students who have 504 plans are educated in general education
classrooms.
The key to appropriate selection of a school-age educational plan is considering and meeting the individual needs of each child
with hearing loss as outlined in IDEA 2004. IDEA regulations state
that the IEP team must consider the communication needs of the child, and in the case of a child who is D/HH, consider the child’s language and communication needs, opportunities for direct com­munication with peers and professional personnel in the child’s language and communication mode, academic level, and full range of needs, including opportunities for direct instruction in the child’s language and communication mode.
Several states have developed a “Communication Plan check­list” for IEP team guidance.10 Teams may also want to utilize the
PARC when considering the continuum of options appropriate for each student with hearing loss. Part 1, or the Readiness Checklist, gives insight into meaningful participation in the educational setting including the general education setting.11 As mentioned previously, Part 2, Placement Checklist (in this case Part 2B for elementary or 2C for secondary students), gives assistance to the IEP team in evaluating accessibility and appropriateness of the continuum of educational placements.
The following examples illustrate the need for a continuum of services for D/HH students. One cannot simply create a chart, implement a policy, or take a philosophical stand about place­ment issues for this unique population of students. Each student’s needs must be individually accounted for prior to discussion about placement options.

IV Educational and Clinical Management of Hearing Loss in Children

Public general education placements (i.e., mainstream setting)
with all necessary support services, such as itinerant teachers credentialed in D/HH education, interpreters, CART (commu­nication access real-time translation), and educational audiol­ogy enable students with hearing loss to be educated in their neighborhood school, the same school that they would attend if they did not have a disability (hearing loss). Typically, this placement consists of a classroom of 20 to 30 students with one or two general education teachers. It is important to note that many children will need to attend the regional program (described next) to gain access to sign language interpreters.
Public regional programs (combined in resource and general
education settings) provide the critical mass of age- and language-appropriate opportunities for direct instruction
and communication with sta, peers, personnel, and services.
These programs may be housed in a central location within a school district, or several school districts may form a consor­tium in order to meet the unique needs of educating children with hearing loss. Within this program, children may receive instruction in self-contained classrooms with a limited number of students or in general education classrooms with 20 to 30
students, with or without modifications to the curriculum.
A state school for the deaf (residential and day school) is a
public, state-funded school option. Characteristics of these schools will vary from state to state depending on philosophy and enrollment. Some schools for the deaf provide direct instruction using sign language, others provide only oral
instruction, and still others may oer both sign language and
oral instruction. Students enrolled in state schools for the deaf may attend day classes or may live on school grounds because of the distance from their homes.
Special, self-contained classrooms (partial or full day) for
students with hearing loss and special education resource programs (partial or full day) in public schools, as required by federal and state laws, may be available in the student’s neighborhood school district or provided at another location.
Private Listening and Spoken Language Education and/or
OPTION schools,12 similar to preschool programs, utilize a highly trained educational team of TODs, SLPs, audiologists, and other professionals while partnering with the family to educate students with hearing loss. Utilizing hearing tech­nology (cochlear implants, hearing aids, and hearing assistive technology), students learn educationally and develop mean­ingful communication through listening and speaking.
Further possibilities include nonpublic schools, virtual
schools, home instruction, hospital instruction, and institu­tions required by federal and state laws to meet the needs of students with disabilities that cannot be met within the traditional public school setting.
30.5 Related Services and Classroom Accommodations
504 are assessed to determine the need for related services,
which may include speech-language pathology, audiology, inter­preting, psychological, physical and occupational therapy, child
nd parent counseling, mobility services, social work, and medi-
a cal services for diagnostic or evaluation purposes. In most states, these services are provided only in public school placements. Included in this chapter are the most common related services that are provided to students with hearing loss. It is important to remember that each student is an individual, and services will vary based on the assessment and needs.
30.5.1 Primary Related Service Providers for Children with Hearing Loss
IDEA 2004 §300.34(a) defines related services as transportation
as well as developmental, corrective, and other supportive ser-
vices as are required to assist a child with a disability to benefit
from special education. It includes speech-language pathology and audiology services, interpreting services, psychologic ser­vices, physical and occupational therapy, recreation, including
therapeutic recreation, early identification and assessment of
disabilities in children, counseling services, including reha­bilitation counseling, orientation and mobility services, and medical services for diagnostic or evaluation purposes. Related services also include school health services and school nurse services, social work services in schools, and parent counseling and training. In most states, these services are provided only in public school placements. The following sections highlight the
qualifications and job description of several of the most common
related service providers for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Educational Audiologist
According to IDEA Part B,1 34 CFR §300.34(c)(1), audiology includes:
(i) Identification of children with hearing loss (ii) Determination of the range, nature, and degree of hearing
loss, including referral for medical or other professional attention for the habilitation of hearing
(iii) Provision of habilitation activities, such as language habil-
itation, auditory training, speech reading, (lipreading),
earing evaluation, and speech conservation
h
(iv) Creation and administration of programs for prevention of
hearing loss
(v) Counseling and guidance of children, parents, and teachers
regarding hearing loss
(vi) Determination of children’s needs for group and individual
amplification, selecting and fitting an appropriate aid, and evaluating the eectiveness of amplification
Related services, classroom modifications and accommodations,
and hearing assistive technology may substantially enhance a child’s listening and learning abilities. Children who qualify for special education under IDEA and also for services under Section
Speech-Language Pathologist
SLPs have the specialized preparation, experiences, and opportu-
nities to address communication eectiveness, communication

disorders, dierences, and delays due to a variety of factors
including those that may be related to hearing loss.13 Some SLPs have taken steps to provide additional services to children with
hearing loss by obtaining the LSLS certification from the Alexander Graham Bell Academy for Listening and Spoken Language. LSLS
are licensed SLPs, audiologists, or educators of the deaf who
have become certified in helping children who are D/HH develop
spoken language and literacy primarily through listening.
14
Teacher of the Deaf or Hard of Hearing
TODs13 address the acquisition and development of commu­nicative competence with an understanding of the linguistic, cultural, cognitive, developmental, familial, visual, auditory,
tactile, and motor inuences. These teachers aim to:
(i) Establish a classroom or other learning environment to
meet the physical, cognitive, cultural, linguistic, and com­municative needs of the child
i) Plan and utilize strategies, appropriate materials, and
(i
resources for implementing educational experiences that support the development of communicative competence
(iii) Provide consistent comprehensible language(s) appropriate
to the needs of the child regardless of the modality or form
(iv) Apply first- and second-language teaching strategies to
teaching English (e.g., through ASL appropriate to the needs of the child and consistent with the program philosophy)
(v) Facilitate and support communication among D/HH chil-
dren and adults, hearing children and adults, including family/caregivers
(vi) Monitor and evaluate the child’s communicative com-
petence on a regular basis in academic and nonacademic contexts including the child’s use of signs, cues, speech, and/or assistive technologies
(vii) Provide instruction and/or support for eective use of com-
munication supports such as interpreting, transliteration, note-taking, real-time captioning, telecommunications, and computing
Educational Interpreter
IDEA Part B, 34 CFR §300.34(c)(4), defines interpreting services15
to include the following when used with respect to children who are D/HH: oral transliteration services, cued language transliteration services, and sign language transliteration and
interpreting services. Specifically, the role of the educational interpreter includes eectively communicating classroom
information between the teacher, the deaf student, and other hearing students according to the language level of the student and the goals of the IEP. There are many aspects to the educa­tional interpreter’s job that require more than simply conveying what words and grammar the teacher and other students say, including implementing the student’s IEP, using the appropriate modality and language; interpreting at the appropriate language level, clearly conveying all aspects of meaning and content and making sure that the lessons are clear; making appropriate use
of fingerspelling; facilitating and supporting participation and
social communication; and monitoring student comprehension.
30.5.2 Classroom Accommodations and
Classroom Modications
The terms “accommodation” and “modification” tend to be used interchangeably; however, there is a dierence in the services
provided under each term. Accommodations alter or improve the way a student receives information or instruction or the way the student communicates during class. Basically, the changes do not alter or lower the standards or expectations for a subject or test. Strategic seating in the front of the class, reducing auditory distractions (i.e., background noise), ensuring student’s attention before speak ing, and using a buddy system for notes are exa mples of accommodations. There are numerous other accommodations, which are summarized by Johnson and Seaton16 in a document
known as the IEP/504 Checklist.17 Through the child’s IEP or 504
Plan, classroom accommodations may be formally developed and documented.
Modifications, on the other hand, result in curricular and/or
instructional changes to meet the student’s academic needs.18
When modifications are made, students with disabilities are not
expected to master the same academic content as others in the
classroom. Examples of modifications include shortened reading
assignments, preteaching vocabulary, supplementary work/read-
ings, and simplified exams.
30.5.3 Assistive Technology
Under IDEA,1 assistive technology is defined as an item, equip­ment, or system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of children with disabilities. However, assistive technology does not include a medical device, such as a cochlea r implant. The most common as sistive technology for c hil­dren with hearing loss is remote microphone technology. These systems, which consist of a teacher transmitter and a student receiver, are sold by multiple manufacturers and aim to reduce the deleterious eects of classroom noise, reverberation, and dis­tance from the teacher. During use, the frequency modulation/
digital modulation (FM/DM) system significantly improves the
signal-to-noise ratio at the child’s ear because the teacher’s voice is transmitted directly to the student’s receiver via FM or DM transmission. The FM/DM receivers can be electrically coupled
to any hearing aid or cochlear implant, may consist of soundfield
speakers (i.e., classroom audio distribution system [CADS]), or may also be self-contained in a small, ear-level device designed
for children with normal hearing but processing diculties (e.g., autism spectrum disorder). Significant improvements in speech
recognition in background noise are well documented for chil­dren with hearing aids, cochlear implants, or auditory processing i
ssues while using FM/DM systems relative to no system.
However, for children with hearing loss, electrically coupled FM/
DM receivers result in significantly better speech recognition in noise compared to classroom soundfield speakers.
Other types of assistive technology may include a videophone, alerting devices, captioning (e.g., CART), or speech-to-text soft­ware. Of these, CART is the most commonly used technology and necessitates a stenographer, a stenotype machine, laptop computer, and software to provide the real-time translation. The

student is seated near the laptop computer in order to follow along with the lecture translated by the stenographer. All of the aforementioned technologies share the same goals of improving the functional capabilities, ensuring equal access to learning, and addressing the educational needs of children with hearing loss.
30.6 Conclusion
Students with hearing loss in the school system make up a heterogeneous population. Individualized assessments with a
team of qualified professionals who have experience working
with students who have hearing loss will help determine the continuum of services that are needed. Utilizing tools such as the PARC can help the educational team incorporate IDEA
2004 key regulations as well as help determine appropriate related services, accommodations, and modifications that are
needed for each individual student. A simple chart or philosophy cannot be used to determine the placement and services for this unique population of students. The goal is for each child to have a productive and successful experience throughout his or her educational career.
