      important to know when working with deaf children
  • Cochlear Implants Cochlear Implants help some deaf people hear, but they don’t work for all. Surgery is required. Part of the implant stays inside the body forever. Part of it is worn outside the body. Some deaf people with a CI can speak well because they practice speech and listening and hear many sounds. It is not the same as a behind-the-ear hearing aid. It does not make the “eee” sound when it is taken off or in use. How do cochlear implants work? Cochlear implants have a microphone, cord, speech processor, transmitting coil, electrode array, volume, and battery. They are very different from hearing aids. How are they different? The sounds come from a computer processor which acts like your middle and inner ear. You can hear music, environmental sounds, people talking, T.V., people calling your name.

      Important change in laws for deaf children

  • What will be the impact of the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights on my child's education? An outcome of the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights is that your child's IEP (Individual Education Plan) will be directly affected by this law in the form of a "Communication Plan". The Communication Plan is the document referred to in the rules that contains an action plan that the IEP team (especially parents) has created to address specific areas of a student's social and emotional development. All too often, IEPs do not thoroughly address, if at all, these critical areas of growth for a child who is deaf or hard of hearing. The Communication Plan creates a mechanism for having conversations and taking action where gaps are identified in these areas. And the Communication Plan will serve as a quality control monitor, making sure that a more comprehensive, qualitative view is taken of each child's experience in school.

  • What is the Deaf Child's Bill of Rights? In May of 1996, the General Assembly approved Colorado State Law 96-1041, The Deaf Child's Bill of Rights. The Bill, sponsored by Representative Mo Keller, who is an educator of the deaf, was strongly supported by parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, and members of the deaf community. With its passage, program options for deaf students in the state of Colorado have been strengthened and preserved. In light of numerous states nationwide that have eliminated program options in favor of full inclusion models, the passage of 1041 is considered a victory indeed for deaf and hard of hearing students who benefit from options.
