Blog 16: 2- hour meeting Answer 2

Content:

1.  How can a deaf elementary student best become grade level literate?

2.  My second answer to my essential question is knowing different support services and more specifically knowing about speech therapy.

3. Support services are going to speech therapy, going to the audiologist, or even learning cued speech and more. All these services do go hand in hand and work together. The audiologist gives the student a hearing test then provides hearing aids. Going to speech therapy helps with productions of sounds. Lastly if you learn cued speech it helps improve with their literacy or learning sign language they are learning a visual language because they might not be retaining what they are hearing (if they are hard of haring).

4. The source that help me come to this conclusion was source number 18 on my WB. Source number 18 helped me because the journal talked and about all the different support services that are available for the deaf child and the benefits that they have for the child.
 
5.  I plan to continue my study of answer 2 by learning more of the different support service that are out there for deaf child and to be knowledgeable in each support services but to be an expert in speech therapy. This is important because even sign language is consider a support service and these children need all the help they can get to become successful in life and with these service they can achieve that goal.
