  • The HI student should be encouraged to watch the teacher whenever he/she is talking to the class.
  • The teacher should use natural gestures when they complement, not substitute for speech.
  • Whenever reports are given or during class meetings, have the childern stand in front of the class so the HI student can see the speaker's lips.
  • During class discussions, let the HI student turn around and face the class so he/she can see the lips of the reciter.
  • Assignments should be written on the board so the HI student can copy them accurately.
  • Designate another student to be a note taker.
  • Use visual aids in presentations.
  • Seat the HI student away from heating/cooling systems, hallways and outdoor noises.
