Accommodating Deaf Students in a University Classroom

Explains how to accommodate the needs of students who are either blind or deaf in a university classroom. The first section guides professors on accommodating students who are blind or have low vision. The second section is about accommodating deaf students in a university classroom. The final section explains accommodations that can be used with students of all types of disabilities. Although this is for professors at a U.S. university, most of the content is relevant for teachers at any level of education at any school.
