Communication Plan for a Child Who Is Deaf or Hard of Hearing (Annotated) - School Age

The primary purpose of the Communication Plan is to establish discussion among all IEP team members who review the student’s needs based on communication skills and access. The Communication Plan should be the starting point for the IEP, and the results of this discussion should be used to identify the student’s present educational levels as well as to complete other sections of the IEP. The Annotated Communication Plan was revised in July 2022. At that time changes were made in Sections l, lll, and IV. Sections have been reduced to l and ll. Changes have been made in the following areas: Section l, including assessments and data to determine the student’s language and communication mode, and a revised chart to inform the school team of the student’s preferred method for learning and communication. Section ll, describe how the student is accessing grade level curriculum and instruction, and how is it delivered directly to the student using preferred language and communication mode. Glossary terms have also been added, revised, or deleted as appropriate. The revised version has October 14, 2022 in the footer.
