Websites for Teachers with Deaf Students

These websites have many resources for teachers with deaf students. You might work in the deaf education field. Or you might have only one deaf student in a school where other students can hear. The resources at these websites can help you learn how to meet their needs.

• Teaching a Deaf Learner: A New Experience: One teacher’s story of his first experience teaching a deaf student in his class.
• Education Resources for Deaf/Hard of Hearing Students: organized by the University of Minnesota in the United States.
• The Recommended Practices page at the Deaf Education Website has resources on best practices for teaching literacy skills, math, and science to deaf students.
• Enabling Education Network: this UK-based organization promotes inclusive education in developing countries. Explore the “publications and videos” section of their website.
• Deaf Child Worldwide: a UK-based organization focused on deaf children in developing countries. Explore their publications and resources.
• AskSource Info: coordinated by Humanity & Inclusion, which is focused on people with disabilities (including Deaf people) in developing countries. Under their “Topics” menu, select “Education”.

Accessibility varies for the different web sites, and for the resources at each web site. Some should be at least partly accessible for some users, but may have some accessibility issues.
