| The child's (IEP) must include present levels of educational performance,
annual goals, special education services, the extent to which the child will be able to
participate in regular educational programs, projected dates for services, and the
evaluation and instructional objectives. The foals should relate to social, psychomotor,
communication, and emotional needs as well as to conventional academic curriculum goals.
Identify and use the language medium that is appropriate for the child. Some hard of
hearing children benefit from having supplementary hearing devices that range from hearing
aids to amplification equipment to ensure communication in the classroom. Besides these, a
child may need special services to increase the use of residual hearing. For example,
control of background noise and improved acoustics may be essential to receive full
benefits from a hearing aid. Improved lighting may be necessary, speech therapy, auditory
graining, and media support services (such as captioned TV and films).
