What are four strategies for supporting a young child with a hearing loss/deaf?
Do not turn away or cover your mouth while talking. Rephrase if the child does not understand rather than repeat the same words over and over. Seat the child away from hallways, playground noise, etc. Allow the child to move around in the room in order to clearly see the speaker. Use as many verbal cues as possible. Take time to explain things. Give context clues-- a written word, object or picture to set the stage to help follow the change of subject. For speech readers; stand still Provide good view of books being read Minimize background noise Don’t whisper/laugh; distorts lips for reading ASL
