So there is this great slide show that everyone should read to understand best the auditory functions and planning lessons for our kids with hearing loss. I think we all know that in order to plan a solid lesson, we have to fully understand why we're doing what we're doing. Garber, Chesney and Jones break down the model in a way thats super easy to understand and get right to the point and are summarize the steps to take when planning your lessons with your kids. Theres nothing I love more than a super easy to read slide show! See the link below for more :)
