Description: KID IN CHARGE is an entertaining SELF ADVOCACY activity that gets kids who are deaf and hard of hearing, listening, thinking, talking, and debating situations and options. The THIS OR THAT Self Advocacy activity provides opportunities for kids to grapple with 12 challenging situations and explore communication repair strategies within a supported environment. There are 12 common situations, kids, with hearing loss face at school, home, with peers, and in their community. Each situation offers two very different ways to react or advocate for themselves. One is a take-charge approach and the other is often an escape behavior. Each situation can be taught as individual mini-lessons and introduced over time. Pick and choose what situation meets a child’s needs. Or share a new situation each lesson and review the past scenarios to help the child become a KID IN CHARGE of their hearing loss and environment. Please note: THIS OR THAT is a serve and return conversational game between the adult and the listener. There is no audio component that would allow the child to play independently. THIS OR THAT is also available as a digital PDF in the Listen With Lynn TeachersPayTeachers store.
