Charlotte is a fun, energetic, very social 11th grade student at Big Walnut High School. Like many 17-year-old girls, she has lots of friends and loves fashion. She is also a student who is considered functionally deaf, as her hearing loss affects her educational performance. She has severe sensorineural hearing loss in both ears.
Charlotte enjoys school, but she has always struggled with reading comprehension and written language tasks. She works hard to meet high academic demands, and performs in the low-average range in all subject areas. In preschool and elementary school, Charlotte attended a school that only taught deaf students through auditory-oral techniques. It wasn’t until middle school that Charlotte was introduced to fingerspelling, sign language, and speech reading. The introduction of these additional methods of communication opened up many doors for Charlotte, and she has been improving overall since. While she is progressing in many areas and has been able to compensate for her hearing impairment through hard work and the supports provided to her, there has been a lack of development in her auditory skills.
