Service providers often question whether a
student who is hard of hearing (as opposed to Deaf) would qualify for
services in postsecondary settings. Specifically, many hard-of-hearing
individuals request print accommodations and service providers are often at a
loss as to how to evaluate if this is an appropriate accommodation for the
individual. This module explores the communication challenges that face
individuals with hearing loss in postsecondary settings, how postsecondary
communication requirements differ from other settings, and the range of
accommodations that assist in bridging this communication gap.
