As a resource for educators working with mainstream students who are deaf or hard of hearing and use Listening and Spoken Language (LSL), Clarke’s Hear Me Out blog offers specific guidance for professionals in a unique and rewarding field. We are grateful to Heather Stinson, CAGS, MED, S/LP-A, a former Clarke itinerant teacher of the deaf, who has shared her insights as Hear Me Out’s primary author since 2014. Heather has been an outstanding advocate and thought leader in supporting Clarke students and families through every stage of the mainstream process, and we wish her success as she transitions from Clarke! 

As one of Clarke’s valuable resources (including Mainstream News and the Clarke Speaks Up blog), Hear Me Out provides relevant insights and information for professionals working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing. We’re eager to feature more voices and perspectives from Clarke’s impressive community of LSL leaders, and as always, are open to your suggestions for content pertinent to your work and experiences in this field.
