**************************************************************** This is the E-Newsletter of Gallaudet University’s Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center, which works for the education of deaf and hard of hearing students throughout the United States. In this issue you will find what was new, updated, or highlighted on
the Clerc Center Web site (http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/)
during March 2003. WHAT'S IN THIS ISSUE: -- New KidsWorld Deaf Net E-Document on Cochlear Implants Available
-- ****************************************************************
The document is designed to assist parents and educators in navigating the way through the extensive “forest” of information about cochlear implants. Information is formatted into modules on a variety of topics, including candidacy, the decision-making process, considerations for the use of sign language for children with cochlear implants, resources, and others. Future modules will include topics that address the Deaf community and cochlear implants and training the ear to listen, as well as a Spanish version of the document. Cochlear Implants: Navigating a Forest of Information…One Tree at a Time was written by Debra Nussbaum, the coordinator of the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center’s Cochlear Implant Education Center, and can be found at: http://clerccenter2.gallaudet.edu/KidsWorldDeafNet/e-docs/CI/index.html. More information about KidsWorld Deaf Net can be found at: http://clerccenter2.gallaudet.edu/KidsWorldDeafNet/index.html.
The Winter 2003 issue of Odyssey, a Clerc Center magazine about
deaf education, has been posted online. It includes articles about insights
and strategies related to the challenges hard of hearing students have
in class, such as “Hard of Hearing Children: Still Overlooked,”
“Navigating the Hearing Classroom With a Hearing Loss,” “A
Dual Identity Critical for Students,” and others. Perspectives from
around the country, the Clerc Center’s training schedule, reviews,
news, and a “Q&A” section are also included in the magazine.
