The article discussed the needs of the students being addressed through the physical positions of the teacher and the other visual needs of the deaf student. The student should sit close to the board and the teacher to be able to see what it going on and the student can clearly read what is on the board or the teacher's lips. The teacher should write any important information on the board, like tests or quizzes so the student is not caught of guard if he/she did not catch the teacher saying it. The needs of the student to be included are in suggestions to educate the other students on deaf culture. This eliminates any confusion and the deaf student can feel safer in the classroom. This can help eliminate bullying and descrimination toward the deaf student. Berke, J. (2010). New York Times. //Education-Including Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children in the Classroom.//
