Interpretive Exercise
Max is a nine year-old third grader who was born with a sensorineural hearing loss.He can hear loud noises if they are within a foot of his ear,and he can hear some sounds in the environment though he usually cannot identify them.Max's parents (who are both hearing)are advocates of the auditory-verbal approach (they wanted him to use speech as much as possible and did not think they could learn to sign effectively).Max's school,where he is integrated into a regular classroom,has reported his IQ scores on a standardized verbal test to be well below the norm.Furthermore,his achievement in reading is far below that of his classmates.Socially,he has a few students who interact with him occasionally,but no meaningful friendships (his speech is almost unintelligible to them).Max's parents are getting fed up with the school,and feel that something must be done to improve Max's situation before it is too late.
-First provide a response to each of the problems described by Max's school (describe a possible method to address the particular concern).Then,write a letter to Max's parents from the perspective of an advocate of a special school for students who are deaf,trying to convince them to enroll Max in this special school.
