The goal of a successful future may be the same for deaf and hard-of-hearing students as it is for hearing students, but the path they travel to reach that goal has some additional obstacles. In this article, Marles Bradley, an educator with years of experience offers advice and guidance to others who find themselves working with deaf or hard-of-hearing students in the classroom. Bradley, who is an instructor in the Educational Services for Students Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing Program at Moore Norman Technology Center (MNTC) in Norman, Oklahoma, describes herself as a prescriptive teacher working with career tech teachers. The Moore Norman program is the only one of its kind in the state and attracts both high school and adult students. At MNTC, the students receive accessible career education so that they can achieve economic independence, but Bradley explains that many of the students who come to the program are unprepared for the workplace in many ways. To address that missing information, deaf and hard-of-hearing students may enroll in a concurrent program teaching employability skills.
