After watching the videos on Vision and Hearing, describe how this information impacts you as a teacher.
I am going into secondary education I understand it's important to do screening early on. But the important thing is that hearing is very sensitive and students can damage their hearing at an early age. Sometimes when students have their earphones in I can still hear the music. This is a sign that it's just way too loud. They need to understand the consequences of this decision and that it can damage their hearing.
Poor eyesight might be the cause of poor reading or poor note taking notes from information on the blackboard. Students might not realize how poor their vision is. So teachers need to look for students that turn their head or squint when looking at the information.

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteEarly detection is really the key! Teachers can be sure to watch for signs of issues with hearing and vision. There can be issues at any age, so this is really important! My daughter started having vision problems when she was in college. This was the first sign of any problem.
This information is great for teachers to know so they can be doing things to help their students and watching for warning signs. It is also super information for parents!
Thanks!
