Students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) have long been educated in segregated settings. The move toward inclusion now means that DHH students may choose to have their educational needs met within a non-segregated setting. Challenges face all stakeholders. Students who are DHH may experience significant needs in the areas of communication, social development and academics. Teachers and administrators must work together to model acceptance and provide a positive and successful educational experience.
