Amy R. Lederberg; Susan R. Easterbrooks; Stacey L. Tucci – Volta Review, 2022
One avenue for improving reading outcomes is to ensure children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) enter school with the foundational skills needed to learn to read. Our research team developed an early literacy curriculum specifically for DHH children. Teachers use Foundations for Literacy (FFL) in a one-hour literacy block for the school…

Trussell, Jessica W. – American Annals of the Deaf, 2020
Students who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) are predominately educated in inclusive settings, sometimes with support from itinerant teachers of the DHH. Often, these teachers provide vocabulary instruction to support students with content-area coursework (e.g., social studies). Morphological word analysis is a recommended strategy for…

Mason, Kathryn; Marshall, Chloe Ruth; Morgan, Gary – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2021
Several studies have reported poor executive function (EF) development in deaf children with subsequent impacts on their social and academic attainment. This paper describes the results of a music-based EF intervention designed for deaf children and carried out in two sets of primary schools. This is the first classroom-based EF training study…

There is not general consensus on best practice for assessment and intervention of phonological awareness (PA) for children who are D/deaf or hard of hearing (D/dhh). The current study surveyed the PA practices of teachers of the deaf and speech-language pathologists to explore perceptions of PA importance, familiarity, and helpfulness related to…

Hettiarachchi, Shyamani; Ranaweera, Mahishi; Disanayake, H. M. Lalani N. – Deafness & Education International, 2021
Young deaf and hard-of-hearing children enrolling in school in Sri Lanka often display language delay due to limited amplification and limited language stimulation. The scarcity of speech and language therapy support within the educational context at present necessitates a rethink of service-delivery models to reach more children. Multi-sensory…

Classroom engagement can be problematic for students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH), but is essential to ensure that they can reach their best educational and postschool outcomes. This study used semi-structured interviews to explore the self-perceived barriers and facilitators to classroom engagement for 16 DHH students educated in…

Snoddon, Kristin – International Journal of Multilingualism, 2017
The view of sign languages as bounded systems is often important for deaf community empowerment and for pedagogical practice in terms of supporting deaf children's language acquisition and second language learners' communicative competence. Conversely, the notion of translanguaging in the American Sign Language (ASL) community highlights a number…

Data-driven instruction is simply good educational practice. In the deaf education certification program--which confers master's degrees in education at Valdosta State University, Georgia, through a variety of online options--the professors address this issue directly with graduate students, all of whom are teacher candidates. One of the ways they…
