DHH 570 - ASL Practicum I

Teachers of Deaf and hard of hearing children (DHH) require extensive knowledge about the “many ways to be deaf” and the diversity of approaches to communication and language that exist for students with reduced hearing. Teachers of DHH must demonstrate advanced proficiency in American Sign Language and understand the nuances of teaching through ASL. This course will assess proficiency in ASL and will determine which fix up strategies may be needed. Students will have the opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency, and apply strategies for using ASL in the classroom.
