This webinar is intended for teachers of students who are deaf and hard of hearing, administrators, parents, students, support staff, service providers, and interpreters.
Working remotely has become the current norm for today’s teachers, service providers, and educational interpreters. With the ease of plugging in from your homes, you can provide access to an online classroom and online support for students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Amanda will discuss different platforms and various accommodations available for you to provide for online learning. She will also evaluate different online scenarios to determine the best practices for effective communication strategies. In addition, Amanda has several educational resources to share during the webinar.
