Closing a Resource Room for Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
Miller, Kevin J.
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v29 n4 p211-218 2008
Self-contained classrooms and resource rooms have been an important component of the continuum of placements available to students who are deaf or hard of hearing. However, these specialized classrooms have been closing in recent years. A variety of factors are contributing to this, most notably the impact of cochlear implants. This article describes the factors leading to the closure of an elementary school resource room for students who are deaf or hard of hearing and the process of transitioning these students back to their home school districts. Implications of closing specialized classrooms for students who are deaf or hard of hearing are discussed. (Contains 1 table.)
