Printable- Preparing for School as a DHH Individual- Practice These Questions
Back-to-school season can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, especially for DHH kiddos. As parents, we often focus on new backpacks and school supplies, but what about preparing for those tricky social situations? This is a free printable to help you practice important conversations with your child before the first day.
We cover:
→How to introduce hearing loss/disability to friends, family, or strangers
→What to say when other kids stare or seem curious at the playground
→Responding to curious parents or strangers
→Dealing with unwelcome responses
By role-playing these scenarios at home, we can boost our children's confidence and give them tools to navigate social interactions. Remember, preparation is key!
