Workshop Description
Children with hearing loss are likely to struggle with reading comprehension and with writing, regardless of the severity of their hearing loss; students who can't read and write proficiently can't participate fully in school, the workplace or society. The good news is that strong literacy skills CAN develop with knowledgeable support from professionals and parents!
