Deaf and Hard of Hearing Aprel Cornyn
Lafayette Parish School System's students with the exceptionality of hearing impaired are served through the Individual Educational Plan (IEP) which addresses the students's own specific educational strengths and needs. Some students are served in their home zone school by a generic resource teacher and other students are taught within the Lafayette Hearing Impaired Consortium which is located at S.J. Montgomery Elementary, L.J. Alleman Middle School and Lafayette High School. The Consortium has a special education staff that includes teachers for the hearing impaired, audiologists, speech and language pathologists, and interpreters/transliterators. Services include special education instruction which addresses the needs of the hearing impaired, auditory training/monitoring, speech/language therapy, interpreting/transliterating and/or C-Print captioning. These services may be addressed in a variety of different settings from the regular classroom to a special education classroom. In addition, sign language classes are offered at night for family and friends of the deaf/hard of hearing students. |
