Strategies
for Teaching Deaf Students with Multiple
Disabilities
(1 credit)
Honolulu, Hawaii
Instructor:
Thomas W. Jones, Ph.D., Professor, Department of
Education, Gallaudet University. Dr. Jones is
a specialist in multiple disabilities and early
childhood education. His current focus is on alternative
approaches to teaching and learning, including
cooperative learning for groups of learners with
diverse backgrounds and abilities in which students
with disabilities are included.
Course Description/Objectives:
Deaf students with
additional disabilities or special needs have
unique learning and behavioral characteristics
which present many challenges to their teachers.
This 1-credit course will address modifying
curriculum, activities, teaching methods,
educational materials, and learning environments
to meet these special learning and behavioral
needs. Emphasis will be on establishing programs
which both are meaningful to the students and
provide an arena in which they can be successful
in spite of their unique needs.
Prerequisite: Must have a B.A./B.S. and have had
an introductory course in the education of
exceptional children or permission of instructor
(Thomas.Jones@Gallaudet.edu). Because this is a
graduate-level course, verification of degree is

characteristics of deaf students with
multiple disabilities. |

*PST credit:
Courses with the prefix PST (Professional Studies
and Training) are continuing education credits
offered for professionals who may not desire
academic credits. PST courses carry Gallaudet
University credits but are not applicable toward a
Gallaudet University degree or certificate program.
Some other universities and accrediting
organizations do accept PST credits, however, so
students should check to determine applicability of
coursework elsewhere.
