The
community at LR has long been committed to the mission of preparing
teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH).
Our DHH licensure program holds an inclusive philosophy,
recognizing that communication is critical to inclusion. We
conscientiously strive to prepare teachers to meet the full range of
challenges in the field, and to foster dispositions of flexibility and
lifelong learning.
We recognize that, as mandated by law and best practice, our
purpose is to meet the individual needs of children, from birth through
high school, through spoken languages and through signed languages.
We
believe that the most powerful change is facilitated through respectful
collaborative partnerships with families and professionals.
We seek to prepare teachers to promote communicative, academic,
social, and cognitive development of children with the challenge of
deafness.
