This section taught me that there is a difference between "deaf" and "Deaf". I had absolutely no dea! The accommodations that need to be in place for hearing or sight impairment are, in a lot of cases, based on consideration for the student. Also, it is best that the educator speaks with the student to get the best idea of what the student needs instead of making accommodations based on their own understanding of what is needed.
I will continue to monitor my students in the classrooms to help identify the students that might have problems seeing or hearing because they may not have been addressed up to that point. (I currently do not have any students with these type disabilities.)
