Help for the Hard of Hearing
http://hohadvocates.org/ Help for the Hard of Hearing The goal of Hard of Hearing Advocates (HOHA) is to help hard of hearing (HOH) people by creating and implementing programs and solutions where HOH people have undue problems. We are a non-profit foundation run by volunteers and assisting peers. We seek the advice of industry and others, but to avoid concerns of bias, our functional body is HOH people. Good hearing permits good communication -- working, better income, fellowship, sharing, joking, being able to easily explain issues or negotiate problems -- to participate. |

VOICE for Hearing Impaired Children
http://www.voicefordeafkids.com/ VOICE for Hearing Impaired Children was established in the early '60s by parents to offer support to other families with children who are deaf and hard of hearing. These Toronto parents wanted their hearing impaired children to be educated alongside their hearing peers in regular schools. By working collectively they succeeded in achieving this goal and had the tremendous benefit of sharing information and providing support to one another. Families continue to connect through the VOICE network. Our registered charity has thrived over the years and has developed into one of the largest parent support organizations for families of children with hearing loss. VOICE maintains approximately 1,000 members, in 17 chapters within Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec. |

Teaching Students with Hearing Impairments
http://www.as.wvu.edu/~scidis/hearing.html Strategies for Teaching Students with Hearing Impairments Over time, the average hearing impaired student shows an ever increasing gap in vocabulary growth, complex sentence comprehension and construction, and in concept formation as compared to students with normal hearing. Hearing impaired students often learn to "feign" comprehension with the end result being that the student does have optimal learning opportunities. Therefore, facilitative strategies for hearing impaired students are primarily concerned with various aspects of communication. Other problems arise because deafness is an invisible disability. It is easy for teachers to "forget about it" and treat the student as not having a disability. It has also been shown that hearing impaired students with good English skills also have good science concept formation. |

Deaf and Hearing-Impaired
http://www.otal.umd.edu/uupractice/hearing/ Deaf & Hearing-Impaired Department of Computer Science, University of Maryland "Access" is the primary issue for every web user, especially for those with disabilities. To create deaf and hearing-impaired interfaces, web designers have to understand the users' unique demands and requirements. Disabled users will be several steps behind on the "information super-highway" unless web developers can build web browsers for groups of customers with different abilities and preferences as easily as web developers can port a web browser from one windowing system to another [Laux96]. The goal of universal design is to have each web page accessible by all people, instead of providing separate web pages for people with disabilities. |
