As we come to the end of AAC month, I want to revisit a project I am very proud to have brought to my local community where I both live and work. A few years ago, I worked with the Hawley Pennsylvania Recreation Department, and the Pocono Sign Company to have this AAC sign installed at Bingham Park in Hawley Pennsylvania. This entire project was donated by all involved. The recreation department approved the project without any question as to its importance for the community and they graciously installed the sign. The sign itself was fabricated and generously donated by the Poconos Sign Company. The graphic for the sign was gifted to me by Temple University. We are capable of great things when a community comes together to help everyone.

Deafness is one of the 13 disability categories, qualifying a child for special education. Criteria for eligibility is state specific. While thresholds for hearing loss vary from state to state some examples include an average hearing loss of 20 dB in the speech sound range or 35 dB in higher frequency ranges in the better ear. Eligibility also requires that the hearing impairment adversely affects the child’s academic performance.

Pennsylvania follows the federal guidelines for eligibility under this category. Both federal and Pennsylvania guidelines differentiate between hearing impairment and deafness with hearing impairment being considered less severe.

Autism is one of the 13 disability categories that qualifies a child for special instruction under the IDEA law. Autism was added to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in 1990. A diagnosis of autism is made by a medical professional and does not automatically qualify a child for special education. The child must also undergo assessment by the child study team and be found to need special instruction.
