About Deafie in Hearing World: Advocacy & Empowerment for Teachers
Have you ever felt discouraged by how students with disabilities sometimes aren’t getting the resources they need to be able to succeed? Or how students with disabilities re sometimes being discriminated for their disability to do things?
Deafie in Hearing World: Advocacy & Empowerment for Teachers is the monthly podcast that will dive into how teachers can help support students with accessibility and accommodate their students to the best of their ability, helping them to succeed.
Hosted by Renee, we explore topics centered around accessibility in schools and help other teachers know they are not alone in helping their students with disabilities. Whether or not you’re a strong advocate for students with disabilities or want to understand how to empower for students with disabilities, this is a good place to be and I’m so glad you’re here!
As a student with a hearing loss going to school to become an Elementary Educator, I too understand the struggles and challenges that many educators do have to go through to help their students with disabilities be successful.
With my hearing loss, I often find myself in a community of educators who sometimes have difficulty learning how to support students with disabilities, and with my expertise, I can guide teachers in helping open their minds to more disabilities in helping them to become successful.
If you’re looking for a place to gather insight about different disabilities and help advocate for students with disabilities in helping them to become successful, Deafie in Hearing World is a great one to listen to, and we’ll take you on a journey of listening to a variety of different teachers in the school system that work with students of all disabilities.
So, if you’re ready to listening to a student with hearing loss, inspiring other educators that work with students of different disabilities, this is the podcast to listen to, and only would take 15-30 minutes of your time! Don’t miss an episode of Deafie In Hearing World: Advocacy and Empowerment for Teachers, I’ll be sure to make your time worthwhile!
In this episode, join your host, Renee as she dives into different stories of what she has been able to do and not do due to her hearing loss and how she may differ from the deaf world in terms of using the phone or even getting a job! She mentions her father as he learned ASL to communicate with her while she was younger and learning how to speak, as she went through 10 years of speech therapy, and even her boyfriend wants to learn ASL as well to communicate with her! Driving experience with flashing lights is also brought up as some people are more alert to emergency lights out on the road and how she has been able to merge off to the side of the road even a mile away ahead into the distance as she has left her family more than often confused, only for them to be grateful that she's extremely keen!
