IEP Ideas for Deaf and Hard of
Hearing Children
This page was created for the purpose of sharing ideas. We all know that
designing an educational experience for our kids is of vital importance. In this endeavor,
perhaps the single most important tool available to parents is the Individualized
Education Plan (IEP). Ensuring that the IEP addresses all the needs of your child can be a
tricky, stressful, and sometimes overwhelming task.
With a deaf/hoh child there are a myriad of options: residential schools, self-contained
classrooms, mainstreaming , etc.... Often there are related services like interpreting and
speech therapy. If you are new to the IEP process, rest assured, there are plenty of
parents that have already been down the path.
Many of them have been very successful in advocating for their deaf/hoh children. This
page was created in an attempt to pass some of the expertise of the "more
experienced" parents on to those among us who feel we can improve the educational
situation for our children. This page contains links to some actual IEP's sent in by
parents. The names of the children have been removed for the sake of privacy.
What this page is not:
The IEP samples here were designed for individual children. The
cookie-cutter approach to deaf education will, in most circumstances, end up being a
dis-service to deaf/hoh children. Also, I'm sure there are many possible service options
which are not necessarily addressed here. This source in by no means complete. Use what
you find here as food for thought when addressing your child's IEP development.

These pages were originally
developed and maintained by Craig Darrah. Craig has generously allowed me to move them
here. Thank you, Craig for all your hard work and for making this easier for me.
The ideas contained here have been extremely helpful for me, I hope they
will be of as much help to you.
