c. In two full paragraphs, describe the educational implications of being a deaf person (6 pts).

To facilitate aspects of communication, early intervention is essential, providing oral/aural training, learning sign language and fingerspelling. It is important to know the student's age when they became deaf or the level of hearing loss. This is important because as the deaf student progresses through their school years, they are likely to fall behind the average in other subjects.
