Learning Activity 4: Apply What You've Learned
Time to complete: 2 hours
This learning activity consists of two assignments to help you synthesize what you have learned in the module and apply it to what you know about your own student. If you don't have a student, you can use the "Sample Student" information.
Tasks
Before you get started, watch this video again:
The sample student's name is Kersten. Here is some information about her hearing, vision, and communication, as well as two videos.
