This webinar features three educators from the Clerc Center who share strategies for supporting expressive language development in deaf and hard of hearing students. Moving away from a deficit-based focus on what students lack, they highlight how intentional instruction can build expressive skills for academic and real-world success. Using classroom examples, videos, and student work, the session offers practical insights for educators, speech-language professionals, and administrators aiming to adopt a strengths-based approach.
