Schooling Options

Residential Schools

These schools are similar to Day Schools in that they are specifically designed for Deaf children. However, these are more like boarding schools and require the students to stay on campus during the weekdays. These schools are generally taught in a manual English method and require the students to know a signed language.

Day Schools

Day schools are schools specifically designed for Deaf children. These are set up in neighborhoods with a high percentage of Deaf children. The children go to these schools surrounded by their peers and use whichever communication method that is best for them.

Mainstream Setting

A mainstream setting occurs when a deaf child is placed inside a general education classroom with their hearing peers. These children are on grade level and may receive additional pull-out services such as speech or hearing training.

Communication Methods

Oral Language Methods

Deaf children use lip- reading, residual hearing, and communication cues to learn to talk and listen. This method takes a lot of training and may not be possible for every child with a hearing loss. All methods depend on the child and their personal success with each.

Manual Language Methods

Sign Language: a visual language that uses hand signs, gestures, and facial expressions to convey meaning. Cued Speech: gestures made around the mouth that emphasize certain sounds in voiced languages. Total communication: use of both oral and manual language methods.

Hearing Equipment

Hearing Aids: amplify sound and bring it to the inner ear. Cochlear Implant: bypass the hair cells in the inner ear and bring electrical impulses to the VIII cranial nerve.
