\u2018Oral\u2019 Deaf Education: Learning Success For The Hearing Impaired<\/strong><\/p>\n

February 6, 2017<\/p>\n

By Robbie Owens<\/p>\n

DALLAS (CBS11) \u2013 Inclusion. Acceptance. Success. It is what all parents want for their children. Now, a unique program offered at Sudie Williams Elementary in Dallas helps hearing impaired students overcome obstacles to getting there.<\/p>\n

The program is called \u2018oral\u2019 deaf education and it is exactly like it sounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned how to take a student who may be in 5th grade, but has a third grade language level, and close that gap,\u201d said teacher Molly Browning. \u201cSo everything is language enriched.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearing impaired students don\u2019t use sign language. Instead, technology allows teachers to connect with the students\u2019 own hearing aids and cochlear implants.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can connect to them and have a direct link, using our microphone,\u201d said Browning. \u201cThey\u2019re still hearing their outside noise; but when I connect to them, it\u2019s directly focused and they can hear me a lot better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI get to learn some new stuff\u2026 and get my grades higher,\u201d said 5th grade student Eric Melendez. \u201cMy teachers help me to do reading and math, so I can solve them by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearing impaired students are taught in classes led by \u2018teacher teams,\u2019 right alongside their peers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t see it as different,\u201d said Browning, who earned a special certification in oral deaf education and is the campus\u2019 Teacher of the Year. \u201cThey\u2019re asking each other for help, they\u2019re calling on a kid that might struggle in language, but excelling in math\u2026 and they\u2019re working together to figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Principal Michael Jackson said it often it comes down to learning to speak up, so they can catch up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes back to self-advocacy,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cWhen they can advocate for themselves in knowing that they belong and that they have a right to the road that leads to success, then I think that the world that awaits is theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The program is open to all hearing impaired students in the district. According to Jackson, the program also attracts students from the suburbs as advocates look for ways for all students to speak the language of success.<\/p>\n
