When students have more than one disability condition, it’s important to consider both and also how they interact with each other. Both deafness and autism can have a significant impact on communication and language as well as learning. This session provides an overview of specific instructional and visual strategies that positively impact the academic and behavioral success of learners with autism . As teachers gain a deeper understanding of autism characteristics and characteristics of students who are deaf and hard of hearing, they will be able to discuss and explore effective ways of supporting academic, behavioral, and social related skills for learners in their classrooms.
