What is the best way to speak to a student with a hearing impairment?
Face the student as you speak. Do not overemphasize words. Speak clearly and at a normal speed. Communicate in a quiet area if possible. Do not obstruct the student’s view of your lips; keep your hands and other objects away from your face while you are speaking. Mustaches can make lip-reading more difficult.
