Class Description:
1st-4th grade hearing impaired students - we are a Total Communication program (since 1994 - South San Antonio Regional Day School Program for the Deaf)
Position:

Needs:
As we are in a lower economic area, we have many needs. The items on my wish list for my class would add to the learning and creativity of my students and would decrease our needs.
My Philosophy:
Every child deserves an opportunity to have the best education possible, regardless of their differences. Every child can learn - some faster than others, but it doesn't matter. The fact is that they can and will learn if given opportunities, caring, instruction, and guidance.
