Resources to support students with hearing loss during COVID-19
At CID, we understand the anxiety and stress many teachers and SLPs are facing when it comes to remotely supporting children with hearing loss. Our staff and teachers are facing these same feelings. In fact, many of us are parents ourselves and are looking to balance “home schooling” with remote working. It’s a scary time, but we’re doing our part to make it a little less stressful.
To help our colleagues in the field, we’ve collected the following resources. We hope you can use these to support your remote teaching efforts and your own professional development during this time. If you know of a resource we could add, please let us know at professionaldevelopment@cid.edu.
Thank you for all that you do for your students!
