Full Guide for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students

There are 9 million people with hearing difficulties in the USA with somewhere around 20,000 of them applying to post-secondary educational institutions annually. At this point, they face one of the most challenging periods in their life.

While regular students take common learning modes for granted, the latter becomes a real challenge for those who have hearing difficulties of any level. Hearing loss of any type impacts students’ academic performance severely, so education services do their best to prevent academic setbacks and meet the special needs of the deaf community. Fortunately, they seem to succeed.

Follow the link below for some outstanding information!! Reading (and learning) is fundamental.
