How can we support students’ access to hearing assistive technology at home?

Communicate with the student using the interactive process to determine if they will be able to continue to use their personal device while taking courses online. You can also discuss with students ways they can improve access to audio content at home. For example, students could use noise canceling headphones and speakers to amplify sound.

Accommodations like speech-to-text services, sign language interpreters and note taking could also be used in conjunction with assistive technology to support access to online courses.
