Faculty Guide: Hearing Impairment

See also Accommodations and Communications

Sign language is the most proficent language for a deaf student. Less than 40% of spoken words can be lip read. Communication is a major challenge facing deaf students.

Sign language is grammatically different than spoken or written English. A deaf student may have difficulties similar to a  student whose native language is not English..
