Acoustical barriers to communication and hearing

This study examined the acoustical conditions, including the surface-dimension measurements, background noise levels, and reverberation times in classrooms in a metropolitan area. The data collected in this study will help school administrators realize that appropriate classroom acoustics are necessary for both hearing impaired and normal hearing students.

A blended classroom program

This paper presents a model project on reverse mainstreaming, incorporating children with typical hearing into a classroom with hearing-impaired children at the preschool level.

The mainstreaming process and materials for the mainstream classroom

This paper studies the success of mainstreaming disabled students and specifically hearing-impaired students and the transitional procedures used by local St. Louis schools for the hearing impaired.

Educating deaf and hard of hearing students in the mainstream classroom

This paper examines the mainstreaming of hearing-impaired students in regular education classrooms. It evaluates the areas where teachers need more information regarding deafness, hearing loss and the teaching of hearing-impaired students. The paper also presents a list of resources to assist teachers in the education of hearing-impaired students in the mainstream classroom.
