Shifting Priorities, Technology-Centric Practices, and an Ever-Evolving Educational Experience for Our Children
Valcourt-Pearce, Catherine C.
Odyssey: New Directions in Deaf Education, v22 p56-61 2021-2022
Since March 2020, when the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic hit, education in the United States has undergone significant change. As both a deaf professional in deaf education and as the parent of an OHKODA (only hearing kid of deaf adults) teenage son, a deafdisabled tween son, and deaf elementaryage fraternal twin sons, I have been in the unique position of viewing this transformation through multiple lenses. What I have seen has left me heartened and impressed--by the sheer amount of work and care across the board from the schools, the families, and the children themselves. These last couple of years have been incredibly challenging, but there have been some lasting changes that will serve us and our children well going forward, too.
