I am an itinerant teacher of the deaf and hard-of-hearing, so I don't have my own class but I go from school to school or home to home to work with my students one-on-one with them. I work with babies all the way to high school students. Some of my students have mild hearing loss or loss in only one ear and some have profound loss in both ears. Some wear hearing aids and some use sign language. One of my younger students clapped when I put his hearing aids in for the first time at school; he was so excited to hear sound! I love my job! All of my students are incredibly gifted and persevering, working on standing up for themselves and what they need to hear better and on catching up to their peers on what they have missed: learning language naturally by simply overhearing it and interacting with it. They work hard each day to do well in school. And I work with them to remind them even with their hearing loss, they can do anything they want to do if they put their minds to it.
