AVI is a nonprofit international membership organization that promotes listening and speaking as a way of life for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The auditory-verbal approach helps these children learn in regular classrooms and living environments and to become independent, participating citizens in mainstream society. They offer a newsletter, information on conferences and events, and a chat room. This site is more for parents interested in this approach for their child.

This site is a launch pad for almost any question you can ask about deafness. The links are of the general information variety rather than teacher-oriented, but if you know very little about deafness, this is a fine place to start. Includes feature articles, a chat room and bulletin board, plus recommended books (including children's) and videos (that feature deaf characters, not videos about deafness). One must-visit link: signing dictionaries.

tag(s): air (106)

In the Classroom

Share this link with teachers who have a deaf student for the first time and are curious for more information. This site would also be a great research spring board into one of the many conditions that cause deafness. If students are working on a research project, refer them to the site in their quest to narrow their topic or to garner general information.

This site offers short quicktime movies showing ASL gestures conveying concepts and phrases. All are available alphabelically, and the clips are brief enough that they load efficiently, even with a slow connection. This is a very useful resource for those who may not have access to other sign tutoring resources.

Find webinars, a directory of ADHD professionals, support groups, workshops and much more.

In the Classroom

Share this article with co-teachers who are dealing with a student that has ADHD. Teachers can share this article with parents in a discussion of ADHD, if there is a need for more understanding or treatment options. At the very least, this article is a great way to better understand ADHD and how it affects a child in the classroom.
