Effective Communication in Educational Settings for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children
School personnel and parents know that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees certain educational rights in the school setting. What is less understood is the way in which the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects deaf and hard of hearing children’s right to “effective communication” in the school setting and beyond. A recent federal court case, K.M. v. Tustin Unified School District, and joint guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Education clarify and emphasize what the ADA requires, how it works with IDEA, and what parents can do if they feel their child is not receiving effective communication in their educational setting.
- Attendees will be able to identify three main principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
- Attendees will be able to describe the “effective communication” requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- Attendees will be able to provide an example of a way in which the protections under these laws are similar and an example of a way in which the protections under these laws are different.
