paint a picture of a young child with deaf and haring loss and a day in the life with this special need?
354382
I have a student with hearing loss, and I can tell you easily that a day in the life of a hearing impaired person is just like the day in the life of anyone else, except...\n\nAlways sitting up front in class to be able to see the teacher's lips, or watching the sign language interpreter (how would you feel almost always having a grown up hang out right next to you?).\nDifficulty with spelling.\nMissing the cool things that happen behind you because you don't hear the sounds that tell everyone else something cool is happening... and only catching it if you happen to see other people orienting on it.\nMissing out on the true beauty of music, bird song, etc.\nHeightened awareness and appreciation of visual, tactile, and other non-auditory sensory information.\nIncreased impatience from the people around you, who quickly learn to see you as YOU, who then pretty much forget you have hearing loss (after all, it is not something visible), and then get upset when you didn't hear them talking, giving instructions, etc. (teachers, hopefully, are professional enough not to get impatient and to always be concentrating on orienting themselves to face a student with hearing impairments so that he/she can lip read effectively).\n\nIf you really want to know, get earplugs and walk around with them in all day for about a week.

Print out sheets of white paper with a big heart on them. Then get a bunch of construction paper in different colors and have the kids rip them up and glue them to the hearts in a mosaic form.

As the mother of a blind child, the answer is definately blind. My 16 y.o. son was born blind. It was heartbreaking. But we have taught him he can do anything except drive and fly a plane. And that's the truth. To see the world would be fantastic. He so wishes he could. But, to be deaf, you cannot communicate except through sign language or by reading lips. Either way you have to be looking towards the person. One would never hear music. Hear the world, noises, and the people around us. Sometimes this is a blessing with the words being used today! But, it is so much better to hear that puppy growl and hold it, feel the softness than just see it run around. We have allowed our son to touch everything we can think of and explore it with his hands, hear it, feel the texture and the temperature, taste it if possible. No he cannot see a rainbow. But a deaf person can't hear one either. Our son can't draw well or sign his name very legibly. But, I'll bet you it is a heck of a lot better than 1/2 of the people on this earth. Many whom are illiterate and some who are not and are just too stupid or ignorant to write. \n\nOur son has felt and heard dinosaurs, birds, horses, dogs, lions, elephants, snakes and much more. How many people have got to touch a real dinosaur skeleton and explore it with their hands. Other objects have been bought as stuffed or in minatures and he allowed to feel it. We arranged for a New Mexico zoo to allow it. Our son started learning braille when he was about 4 y.o. He was proficient by age 9. This includes the 26 letters of the alphabet, all the punctuation symbols used in writing, all the Math symbols, and 180 contractions such as ing, th ie, ar, ph. He has had to learn 4-5 times as much as all other kids his age and memorize it all. He is gifted musically and plays the piano beautifully. He has learned to play by ear with lessons taught and practiced with by using a tape recorder. Can a deaf person do this? And now we have books on tape. No good for a deaf person. There is a State Library in Austin where he can order and receive books in braille-many other places in the country, also for free. Sure a deaf person can read normally. But can only discuss it with another deaf person unless he writes it all down.  No he can't play sports, but there is not a sports commentary on the radio he cannot keep up with. They are so detailed. He does weight lifting, running, and goalball-a sport specifically for visually impaired kids instead. It has gone pro and has been an international game for years. It may soon be included in the Olympics. It is not a sport for wimps. There are some real hard hitters. Yes, our son has many struggles and challenges ahead of him. But for now he is an  A-B student planning on attending UT. His parents and close friends will be there to assure that he succeeds and becomes a productive, working member of society knowing how to utilize the resources around him to do what he cannot. How many sighted people have such a supportive backing?

I would make a border from paper dolls cut out from many different colors.  Then I would find pictures of groups of kids of varied ethnic groups working together.  I would cut out the word for "hello" or "friend" in several different languages.  In the middle or as a back drop I would have a lightened picture of the statue of liberty with the poem about "Give me your tired..." darkened and highlighted.  Thanks, this was fun!!!

Go into some of the classes with your child. You and your child can tell them what it is like to be disabled and have a disabled child. I think everyone would be more aware of disabilities. Good luck.

Children with special needs require alot of attention.  For some people that is ok but, if you are short tempered than its wrong for you to be around these children. I have enjoyed helping children with special needs and you're right it is very rewarding.  So many people ignore them or don't reach out to them and they really thrive on any attention that they get.  Sounds as if your a neat person to be devoted to thse children.  God bless you and your efforts.
