Project Description
DHH Student Created In-service Video Project
RECIPIENT: Karen Richards, Forest Lake Area Schools DHH Program
AMOUNT: $1640
GRANT OVERVIEW
Deaf/Hard of Hearing staff is now able to help DHH students gain access to content in their classrooms in a unique and memorable way. Students will create a video that provides their teachers, parents, and support staff with in-service training about the students’ educational needs related to their hearing loss. In the process, students will enhance their own awareness of their hearing loss and of adaptations that help them be successful in the classroom, and ultimately, improve their self-advocacy skills.
