Deaf education
Education of the deaf and hard of hearing / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the education of deaf students and educators of deaf students. For the study of deaf culture, arts, sign languages, and people, see Deaf studies. For deaf schools, see Schools for the deaf. For the English art rock/new wave band, see Deaf School.
Deaf education is the education of students with any degree of hearing loss or deafness. This may involve, but does not always, individually-planned, systematically-monitored teaching methods, adaptive materials, accessible settings, and other interventions designed to help students achieve a higher level of self-sufficiency and success in the school and community than they would achieve with a typical classroom education. There are different language modalities used in educational setting where students get varied communication methods. A number of countries focus on training teachers to teach deaf students with a variety of approaches and have organizations to aid deaf students.
