Supporting Education, Advocacy and Knowledge for Students with Hearing Loss

Course: #33970Level: Intermediate 1 Hour 362 Reviews
Recorded Webinar

Anecdotal evidence suggests that deaf and hard of hearing students benefit when involved in structured, supportive, peer-to-peer experiences. Two successful school-based peer support groups located in Alberta and Ohio have achieved these positive outcomes. Factors contributing to success were a leader-mentor model combined with student, audiologist and community mentors. Our aim with this work was to develop a template for a structured school-based support and resource program, that could guide school-based hearing care professionals on how to bring together students with hearing loss to share experiences, learn about education, advocacy, and living with hearing loss. A survey of North American school-based hearing professionals along with a review of the literature was completed. The aim was to explore structured peer programs, specific to students who are deaf or hard of hearing, and to understand the barriers and facilitators to developing and implementing these support programs.
