If a teacher has a deaf student in the classroom, there are several methods to help him or her succeed, such as having a note taker or sign language interpreter in classroom, use PowerPoint presentations to visually explain lessons and presentations, and include captions during educational films. Additionally, teachers need to be aware of the different types of communication a deaf child might use, including American Sign Language, lip reading, and code switching. It is important for the teacher to meet with the child's family and discuss their preferred form of communication, what assistance they may need, and other things to help the child feel more comfortable in an inclusive classroom. The family also knows the child since he became deaf, so the family can give opinions, suggestions and other helpful advice to help the teacher build a relationship with the child and help him succeed in school.
