Transition to Mainstream

This document explains my transition from an oral school for the deaf to a mainstream school. I switched to a mainstream school for Pre-K and had previously been in an oral school for 3.5 years. I had to learn how to educate

my classmates on my

deafness.

Every accommodation has a meaning behind it, some are more obvious than others, however they all serve an intended purpose. Keep in mind that accommodations used one year may not be used for all years of school!
