—

K-11 0 favorites 0 promising practices http://nationaldb.org/ Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:47 share

How It Works

DB-LINK is a federally-funded information service that offers information on people under age 21 who are deaf-blind. They have many brochures concerning how to interact and communicate with these children, which are available to read online. The site also features two databases: one with bibliographical information on deaf-blindness and one with federal, state and local resources. Both educators and parents will find this information helpful.

In the Classroom

Refer this site to fellow teachers who are working with hearing or seeing impaired students, for them to both use and pass on to parents. If you have students this site applies to, make sure to post the site on the teacher web page to accommodate parents.

How It Works

AVI is a nonprofit international membership organization that promotes listening and speaking as a way of life for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The auditory-verbal approach helps these children learn in regular classrooms and living environments and to become independent, participating citizens in mainstream society. They offer a newsletter, information on conferences and events, and a chat room. This site is more for parents interested in this approach for their child.

How It Works

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is the largest organization representing people with disabilities in the United States. They sponsor some great youth programs as well, including a summer camp. Click on "About NAD," then scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Youth Programs."

Not a great deal of information for teachers, but they have feature articles from their monthly magazine and you can call or e-mail them for information.

Deafness/Hard of Hearing

K-11 0 favorites 0 promising practices http://deafness.about.com/ Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:47 share

How It Works

This site is a launch pad for almost any question you can ask about deafness. The links are of the general information variety rather than teacher-oriented, but if you know very little about deafness, this is a fine place to start. Includes feature articles, a chat room and bulletin board, plus recommended books (including children’s) and videos (that feature deaf characters, not videos about deafness). One must-visit link: signing dictionaries.

In the Classroom

Share this link with teachers who have a deaf student for the first time and are curious for more information. This site would also be a great research spring board into one of the many conditions that cause deafness. If students are working on a research project, refer them to the site in their quest to narrow their topic or to garner general information.
