Programs
The following are a list of programs offered at our
school.
| Hearing
Impaired |
| The Program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing
elementary students of Muscogee County is located at Key Elementary
School. Students are bused in from all over the county
to attend. There are currently 3 classes with a total staff of 3 teachers,
4 sign language interpreters, 1 speech therapist, and
17 students.
|
| |
The mission of this program is to ensure
that hearing impaired students have access to quality educational
opportunities. These opportunities are provided according to
the needs and abilities of individual students and should lead to
the development of
productive and successful citizens. |
| |
Deaf and Hard of Hearing students at Key
are taught using the total communication or oral approach.
Total communication (T. C.) is a philosophy of education hearing impaired
children that applies the use of any and all means of communication
to provide unlimited
opportunity for the development of language.
Total
communication includes, but is not limited
to speech, hearing aids, auditory trainers, assistive listening
devices, speech-reading, and sign language. Students learning
through the oral approach use their residual hearing and speech only.
|
| |
| Hearing impaired students, who meet specific
criteria, are given the opportunity to mainstream (inclusion
of disabled students into regular classes). In this setting,
they learn, achieve and socialize with their hearing peers with or without
the services of an interpreter, as needed.
