This year, I have a child with hearing disability. He can read lips very well. Even though he gives me results when I present him with a task sheet, there are times I forget to face the class when i'm speaking.
I'm going to look for strategies to keep him an active participant of the class.

I think i'm starting to understand him.
He is extremely intelligent.
I was earlier giving him books below his ability to read and analyse.
Some days later, I talked to him one-on-one
about what he liked to do etc
he told me he loved the harry potter series
i was dumbstruck
the child was reading harry potters at home
and i was giving him grade 4 books because i thought he couldn't comprehend.
that day in the library period i asked him to write a book review for harry potter (using the template i gave him)
and I got to know that he hadn't just read the book but had understood it quite well too
he's enjoying story writing and is keeping pace with the class. the only extras i give him are a couple of graphic organizers that guide him through his tasks
