Where are your glasses?

I have learned of the frustration my parents went through when trying to get me to where my glasses. One of my students is nearly deaf. He is very good at reading lips and is very clever, but nonetheless; he cannot hear. I took him in to get his hearing checked. The audiologist looked at his file and said “Where is his hearing aide?” Come to find out, for the whole year I have been here, he has had a hearing aide, just never worn it. The battery was dead. I understand why he doesn't want to wear it in school because there is no question he will be harrasssed. We will work with it in during our small group sessions.
