Working with Deaf and Hard of Hearing

Students at Glendale Community College

Each student’s accommodation needs are unique and the student is usually the best resource regarding what are the most effective accommodations for themselves.  You certainly can and should talk to the student about what accommodations he/she may need. But, remember, it is up to the student to take charge of their situation and petition for his/her accommodations.

When you continue reading this module - think about your own courses and these questions.
