CEASD stands for Conference of Educational Administrators of Schools & Programs for the Deaf. CEASD mission and why it is important is because CEASD provides educators with the opportunity to improve educational programs and schools for deaf and hard of hearing students. CEASD and Child First Campaign ensure the needs for students who are deaf and hard of hearing. They address the importance of meeting the language, communication, and educational needs for these students, which are under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). The goals are to provide deaf and hard of hearing students with academic success that also leads to a successful life. CEASD and Child First Campaign are important because they are supporters for deaf and hard
In the following chapters, there is an extensive amount of knowledge to learn about how Deaf culture is involved in our modern world. The pages assigned give us an outlook of how Deaf people are treated in our daily life, and how we should learn from it. Its gives a clear line between what are myths and what are facts, to those who are curious about the Deaf community or have specific questions. This book has definitely taught me new things that I could put to good use in the near future. In specific chapters, my mind really opened up to new ideas and made me think hard about questions, like “why don’t some Deaf people trust hearing people,” or “do we need another ‘Deaf president now’ revolution?” I realized many new things in the course of reading this book, and have recommended this to my family.
I believe that this is important because if a young Deaf/hard of hearing student has a hard time learning what will their view on learning become? I also don’t agree with the fact that the article suggests the use of MCE (Manually coded English). Manually coded English, is similar to ASL But, follows the grammatical setup of English. Whereas ASL has its own grammatical setup. I believe that a Deaf/C.O.D.A teacher is the best opportunity for the students. Young Deaf students should be taught by Deaf/C.O.D.A teachers because ASL is most likely the students first language. Consequently ASL would be the easiest way to learn English. From the perspective of a Deaf person, ¨I had a hard time learning English, I had both a Deaf teacher and a hearing teacher. I learned English easiest from the Deaf teacher” (S. White, personal communication, February 16, 2016). Also, young Deaf students should be taught by Deaf teachers because Deaf/C.O.D.A are good language models. Language models are important to have because who else would be a good model for ASL? Throughout this article I will be exploring and sharing with you why Deaf/C.O.D.A teachers are important to the education of young Deaf/hard of hearing
this case is in regards to Amy Rowley, a deaf student that had excellent lip reading skills. She is under the IDEA Act and was provided resources in kindergarten that her parents wanted to follow her to the first grade. However, the school noted that Amy was an exceptionally bright student that with the use of some other aids would successfully complete the 1st grade. During the IEP meeting the school recommended that Amy
(Baker- Shenk & Kyle) Despite many social problems and unnecessary prejudices, deaf people dot consider themselves as having a disability. Having the lack of hearing is not about just being Deaf, but accepting that challenge and being all you can be with yourself, and going through life the strong individual you are. The real issue is if the Deaf want to stay Deaf or rise above and get the surgery for the hearing aid, or cochlear implant. Deafness does not have to mean you are disabled. The approaches on a Deaf person’s life are just as significant as a hearing persons (Vicars).

While the benefits for the hearing are great, there are better benefits for those who are Deaf. Jarashow stated that it was essentially frowned upon if a Deaf child was using sign instead of trying to use what ability they had to hear. This seems counterproductive and if they emphasized more on teaching Deaf children ASL, there would be better outcomes for them in the future. Instead of focusing on trying to make everyone the same, they should focus on giving these children the best opportunity possible despite their
The Deaf community is a group that is made up of many different people, who all have different backgrounds both culturally and linguistically. Every single person in the Deaf community is unique, yet they share a common quality that brings them together. These people understand what it feels like to be labeled differently from the “norm” of society, to be discriminated against or misunderstood, sometimes even by their own families. Deaf people share a pride in the culture they share. This pride is something everyone could afford to learn from, as the Deaf community prides itself on its beautiful and expressive language, as well as the accomplishments of its members. This linguistic minority group is one that has bonded together over the physical difference that separates them from normal people, and that is their varying levels of hearing loss. “The traditional view of deaf people focuses only on what is not there” (TKH p.1) this quote from our textbook is a brief synopsis of how most of the hearing world views those who ca...
I realize that it is ironic that I, of all people, am taking classes in American Sign Language and am a CSD major. Devoting my future to working with people who have communication and hearing disorders is more than likely going to present a unique challenge to myself due to my low vision, but I have

Hearing people can have a place in the Deaf community. Each minority group tends to welcome genuine allies and the Deaf community is no exception. But it is important for people who hear to remember our role as allies. We join the community to show our support, not to lead. We can help educate other hearing people, but we are not missionaries to bring Deaf people into the mainstream. Deaf people are the appropriate leaders of their own civil rights movement and teachers of their children. Our role is not to give Deaf people a voice; it is to make sure that the voice already present is heard. And we can do that. We can teach other hearing people to listen.
When the parents found out that those children become to losing hearing. This is an impact to the parent hard to decide, and which is those deaf children can go to school. Most of the parent did not know about how they can communicate with deaf children. The board school will give them to choose to institute for the deaf or mainstream in a hearing school. Which is deaf children should go to deaf school or mainstream.

They’ve been doing this since 1880, thanks to its leaders and endless supporters. Their Values are just as strong as their mission is. Their values are separated into three parts Core, legal value, and most importantly community value. Community values are important, Diversity, Experiences, Racism and people. The National Association of the Deaf works hard at keeping their community strong and diverse.

As a required component of the evaluation process under the IDEA, the parents, faculty members at school, hearing itinerary, case manager are required to attend the individualized educational program plan which will review and discuss data on Schyla, which will include information concerning her medical report, past education history, and testing needed. The purpose of the meeting is to assess and evaluate all services that will benefit Schyla in moving forward in school in order for her to obtain academic and social success. Considering the fact that Schyla has never attended school and have been home schooled up until this point in time in her life. It is extremely important for her to receive positive feedback, in order for her to have a smooth transition into a school setting. All information provided at the time of the meeting will be documented and re-evaluated in a six month time period. With parental permission, the school team will have access to Schyla’s medical records, such as, her audiogram from the audiologist who performed the hearing test. A medical treatment plan will also be considered if necessary. Also, the hearing itinerary that is specially trained to answer question and provide in depth information concerning what is required within Schyla’s home, classroom environment, and in her everyday life that will help assist Schyla in being able to fully function, learn and
