Case: Deaf Preschooler I work at a preschool and there is a deaf, non-verbal two year old in one of the classes. This student constantly hits and bites his classmates to get their attention. How can the teacher teach the student different ways to communicate with this classmates? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There are a couple of steps I would take to address this case. First, I would try and learn how much ASL the student knows. If ASL is the student's sole form of communication, I think it is in the best interest of the teacher to learn basic signs to communicate with the student. Once this occurs, the teacher can encourage and teach the student useful strategies to get his or her classmates' attention. The student may be hitting and biting due to frustration and feeling unheard. The teacher going out of their way to learn the student's language can positively affect their behavior. |
