Taking Hearing Impairment to School

Jacob's life is filled with friends, school, family sports, and pets, and he has a profound hearing loss. Through his story, readers learn about sign language, interpreters, hearing aids, and speech therapy for kids with hearing impairments.

Other children can start to identify why a peer with a hearing impairment may be treated differently and begin to empathize with the peer. In addition, children with a hearing impairment or children who have conditions that set them apart as being different begin to feel accepted and safe. Book includes a Kid Quiz to reinforce new information and Ten Tips for Teachers to provide additional facts and ideas for teacher use. Softcover, 32 pages.
